E3 2018: Fallout 76 Details Revealed

At Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference, Todd Howard revealed Fallout 76 is a prequel to all of the prior Fallout games and according to Howard, Fallout 76 will be four times the size of Fallout 4 featuring Xbox One X enhancements, 4K and HDR support. Howard also announced that Fallout 4 is now available on Xbox Game Pass.

The game is set in the state of West Virginia, and presumably the year of 2102, based on the date subtly displayed on a Pip-Boy in the trailer, 25 years after the Great War. It involves Vault 76, one of the 17 control vaults which was meant to open in 2097.

Announced earlier this month by Bethesda, Fallout 76 players take the role of a survivor from Vault 76, emerging from the relative security of the vault to brave the post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland and rebuild society.

Check the reveal trailer down below:

“As narrated by the reveal trailer: “When the fighting has stopped and the fallout has settled, you must rebuild. Not just walls not just buildings, but hearts and minds, and ultimately, America itself. In Vault 76, our future begins.”

The trailer featured all manner of iconic imagery from previous Fallout titles, as well as some monsters that look like brand new additions to the game. According to Kotaku, the game is rumored to be an online survival RPG in the same vein as DayZ or Rust, but there have been no official details yet.

Vault 76 opened in 2076 to celebrate the tricentennial, or 300th birthday, of the United States. Crucially, according to the Citadel computer, it was supposed to be a “control” vault housing 500 people. Where as the majority of the vaults were actually secretly running some sort of experiment on their inhabitants, 17 control vaults were also established with nothing nefarious about them so that Vault-Tec could compare results.”
