Bethesda Softworks offers the
Official E3 2019
Wastelanders gameplay trailer showing off a free update coming to
Fallout 76.
Word is: "One year after the opening of Vault 76, other humans have returned to
Appalachia. Factions of Settlers and Raiders aim to make the world their own and
claim a rumored fortune. Embark on a new main quest of choice and consequence,
interact with characters and their unique stories, discover the faction
settlements of Crater and Foundation, and collect powerful new weapons and
armor. Your choices decide their fates." They also announce
Nuclear Winter, a new
52-PLAYER battle royale "experience"
coming to the irradiated RPG this fall, saying a sneak peak at this will be available to all
starting tomorrow during a Fallout 76 Free Trial Week.
This video developer
diary explains that this take on the genre will retain the core focus of the
game, and will include PvE elements, story elements, base building, and, of
course, nukes. Here's word on what makes this S.P.E.C.I.A.L. from the
Fallout website:
Nuclear Winter is an all-new 52-player PvP Battle Royale mode, free for
Fallout 76 players. Nukes have set the world ablaze and the battle to claim your
spot as Overseer of Vault 51 has begun – will you be the last one standing or be
consumed by the ring of fire? Rank up, unlock exclusive perks and build your
C.A.M.P. to weather the storm in true Fallout fashion. Scavenge for weapons,
supplies, and nukes to take on other players and creatures and earn unique
cosmetic rewards. Sneak Peek Starting June 10, 2019.
