Fallout 76doesn’t launch until tomorrow, November 14, but Bethesda has already teased post-launch content, including new quests, events, and camp building improvements.
In a post onBethesda’s website, the studio thanked fans who participated in the beta before teasing some of the content that will arrive in the multiplayer Fallout experience in the future.
“We have an incredible list of updates we’ve begun work on – from C.A.M.P. building improvements, new quests and events, new Vaults opening, character re-specing, a faction-based PvP system, and much more,” Bethesda said.
Considering that Bethesdaplans on keepingFallout 76‘s serversup and running until the end of time, there’s no telling when post-launch content will arrive. We imagine, however, that newFallout 76content will start to roll out in the months following launch, when interest in the game is still at a high.
Two of the cooler items Bethesda teased could go a long way toward increasing user interest inFallout 76over time. First, the prospect of “new Vaults opening” could create a lot of intrigue concerning the game’s lore. Naturally, as an online game with an emphasis on co-op, you may not be thinking about PvP out of the gate. ButFallout 76does support PvP, which can be toggled on and off. With faction-based PvP in the pipeline, it may be advisable to get used to PvP before the real competition begins.
SinceFallout 76doesn’t have a season pass (at least not yet), it would seem that post-launch content will be made available for free through patches. Bethesda has maintained a consistent message about microtransactions only being used for cosmetic items. Bethesda doesn’t want to divide the player base, and charging for new quests and events would do just that.
Fallout 76officially launches tomorrow, November 14, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but the PS4 and PC versions haveapparently launched a day early(at least if you pre-ordered a digital copy).
