Fallout 76 is hoping to take a page from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn with Wastelanders, the major Year 2 update, which will bring human NPCs into the fold alongside a new main quest. The free fall update is also promising “choice and consequences” and the requisite new gear and guns.
“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.”
Elsewhere, there’s, uh, battle royale. Yeah. It’s on the way this summer as part of the Nuclear Winter update.
Bethesda thanked fans who have “stuck with us” for Fallout 76 during its E3 2019 press conference, which, yeah. That’s one way to look at how that situation unfolded. They’re not giving up on the game, though, and that’s the important bit.
