Bethesda Game Studios has announced
Fallout 76 releasing this first trailer for the project that has been teased since yesterday. Many player have been wondering what Bethesda will do next with the
Fallout series. Well, we still don't have the definitive answer, but it looks like
Fallout 76 is not the
Fallout 4 sequel you've been looking for, as
76 is apparently an online game of some sort.
According to an anonymous Reddit user, who revealed this information last year,
Fallout 76 is "
a Rust clone" with the map set alongside an interstate highway. In the
Fallout universe, Vault 76 is a "control" vault, with 500 occupants. October 27, the biggest release day of any year is displayed on the terminal in the said trailer, so there's a chance that it's the launch date of Bethesda's
Fallout 76.
The song used in the teaser, a cover of John Denver's Take Me Home Country Roads may indicate that we're going to visit West Virginia.
Kotaku's sources say this game is under development at both Bethesda Game Studios’ main office in Maryland and at the Austin office formerly known as Battlecry Studios. That Austin office, which started in 2012, was making a hero shooter called
Battlecry before Bethesda canceled it. For sure, we’ll see
Fallout 76 at Bethesda’s E3 press conference on June 10.
