It is funny that it is now cannon that the first people out of the vault nuked the capital wasteland into what it is in F3.

Did they say what kind of quests the Overseer was going to give? Could they not be story line related?

Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced Fallout® 76 will be available November 14, 2018 on Xbox One, PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, and PC.

Bethesda Game Studios, award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4, today revealed 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, players will experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.

Reclamation Day, 2102. Twenty-five years after the bombs fall, you and your fellow Vault Dwellers—chosen from the nation’s best and brightest – emerge into post-nuclear America. Play solo or join together as you explore, quest, build, and triumph against the wasteland’s greatest threats.

“We’ve been asked forever to bring multiplayer to one of our worlds,” said Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda Game Studios. “And once we had this idea, we knew it was perfect for Fallout. It’s great to finally share this game and this world with everyone.”

[Zetanio]

Beta drops in October, via their Instagram. XB1 first, then PS4/PC later.

[6souls]

I haven't looked, is it still preorder only?

[Zetanio]

Yeppppp

[6souls]

Beta will be the Full Game, Progress Carries Over to Launch
https://fallout.bethesda.net/faq

[6souls]

Not coming to Steam. Will only be available through the Bethesda launcher. Bethesda says Valve takes too high of a cut on sales.

[Zetanio]

Welp, definitely not playing it now. See ya.

[silverdragontyr]

Ugh while I can't say I definitely won't be playing, that makes it even harder to get me to play when I was already on the fence. The only reason I'd even want to play this is with friends. If we'd all have to get some new game library system for what, one game? It's probably not going to happen.

[Tyrath]

Yeah fuck this noise. I'll be waiting for FO5/NV2.

[Fondue]

uh why are you guys freaking out about this? do you get assblasted everytime you play overwatch and have to use blizzard's launcher? its 30 seconds of "inconvenience"

[Zetanio]

Who the fuck plays Overwatch? lol.

[Yabby]

They are not freaking out, they are showing a company that they don't want 30 different launchers for their games, and thus 30 different systems they have to manage to keep in contact with their friends. Blizzard, Orgin, Steam, etc is already too much. If companies see that their sales are not impacted by building their own platform to push their bottom line, others will follow.

[Fondue]

Good point, this game is doomed for failure.

PREORDER CANCELLED
