Bethesda Game Studios announced Fallout 76 a month ago releasing the first trailer for the project that suggested that we're not going to be alone in this universe anymore. Many player have been wondering what Bethesda will do next with Fallout for a long time, and a vocal group of single-player gamers is disappointed, as Fallout 76 doesn't seem to be the Fallout 4 sequel they've been looking for.
As opposed to other Bethesda games like TES: Online, Fallout 76's online servers will consist of only 12 players that will be exploring a map that's 4 times bigger than the one found in Fallout 4. You play as an inhabitant of a "control" Vault 76 tasked with rebuilding the wasteland outside. Fallout 76 will be a typical prequel, as it takes place earlier in the timeline than any Fallout game before it.
In more positive news, Bethesda will put the Fallout 76 cover of John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads on iTunes starting on July 4, 2018, with every single purchase of the song going to funding the efforts of Habitat for Humanity. The publisher will donate 100% of its proceeds, with a minimum donation of $100,000, from sales of the single to the foundation to assist in the organization’s goal of transforming lives and communities through affordable housing all around the world.
Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of Skyrim and Fallout 4, welcome you to Fallout 76, the online prequel where every surviving human is a real person. Work together, or not, to survive. Under the threat of nuclear annihilation, you’ll experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.
Fallout 76 will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC November 14, 2018.
