Announced Fallout 76 and perhaps its focused on online multiplayer
Bethesda's guessing game has just ended - a new Fallout was revealed. It is called Fallout 76. The number is not random, it marks the Vault 76 from which its protagonist will start his or hers adventure.
The first trailer does not reveal much and a real demonstration is reserved for Bethesda's E3 2018 conferences on June 11th. But, according to sources, nowhere is being mentioned that the game is being developed by some partner team. As things stand now, on Fallout 76 works Bethesda's team in co-operation with its branch from Austin, Texas.
The Vault-Tec terminal in the Citadel lists Vault 76 as a "control" vault, with 500 occupants. The vault was designed to open 20 years after a nuclear war, and was among the seventeen known control vaults, meaning that it was used as a baseline to compare to experimental vaults. It is therefore possible that this Fallout will go back in time, according to the date in the trailer - to 2102. This means chronologically this could be the earliest Fallout game. Location of the Vault 76 is not known, but if it is to judge by the song selection, it could be placed in the US federal state of West Virginia.
Now one unconfirmed information. Allegedly, this is not a traditional singleplayer RPG Fallout, but an online oriented game. Why, how and again why - it will for some time remain unknown until Bethesda fully demonstrates the game.
