E3 2018 has seen some major additions to core game franchises, with huge announcements for the Elder Scrolls, The Last of Us and Fallout with its new title Fallout 76. Fallout 76 will now allow players to build settlements and interact with other players in an always online platform. This sidestep from the traditional RPG-based offline gameplay has some players worried, as there is no word of an option to play offline. Despite this, many remain hopeful, as Bethesda have built on settlement creation tools and added more crafting options. When will Fallout 76 be released? Fallout 76's trailer dropped last week.

Bethesda is offering a huge selection of collectible content in their collectors edition Fallout 76 REVEALED - Bethesda reveals new game, but it’s not Fallout 5 or New Vegas 2 Tue, May 29, 2018 Fallout 76 - the latest game in the Fallout series - has been revealed by Bethesda. The announcement came as a surprise as fans had been expecting a Fallout 5 or Fallout New Vegas 2 reveal Play slideshow BETHESDA 1 of 14 Fallout 76 has been revealed by Bethesda, with more getting announced at E3 2018<doc-sep>Fallout 76 has had a proper (but still slightly ambiguous) reveal at the Xbox E3 2018 press conference. Introduced by Bethesda Game Studios boss Todd Howard, the gameplay trailer didn't quite go as far as to resolve the 'Is it multiplayer or not?’ question that's plagued Fallout 76 since it was announced, but it did look very, very pretty indeed. Detailing an emerging survivor from Vault 76 as they take their first steps out into a West Virginia wilderness even greener and grassier than that of Fallout 4, Fallout 76’s trailer wears its prequel credentials on its metallic sleeve, showing off the return of the original series’ power armour amid much talk of rebuilding and the reestablishment of society. Yeah, good luck with that. As for more concrete details, Howard did state that Fallout 76 is four times bigger that Fallout 4 (Fallout 4 already being huge), is indeed the story of the very first nuke survivors emerging from the very first vaults, and we were also told that it will be available for pre-order on June 15, at least on the Xbox store. No word on a release date yet, but we'll surely get that at the Bethesda E3 2018 press conference later today.<doc-sep>
Last Sunday, Bethesda held its annual E3 media briefing in Los Angeles. A variety of new games were announced and we got an in-depth look at Fallout 76 alongside other titles. The shared-world game is launching on November 14, 2018 and contains numerous new mechanics. While the game was available for preorder through Amazon ever since it was initially announced, the digital preorder just went up on the Microsoft Store. The standard edition costs $59.99 and the Tricentennial Edition costs $79.99. The latter comes with a number of cosmetic items. Fallout 76's gameplay looks absolutely breathtaking. The game is definitely a considerable improvement over Fallout 4 in the technical sense. It features sixteen times the detail and you can even view distant weather systems across the map. There are six distinct regions to explore which have their own look and feel. Apart from that, the creatures vary as well. For example, you may encounter a giant sloth in one locale and a deadly mutated bat in another. Both of them present unique challenges and there are specific ways to take them down. Even though Fallout 76 is entirely online, it isn't a massively multiplayer online game. At any given time you'll be playing with dozens of people, not thousands. It's similar to titles like Anthem and Destiny 2. However, if you don't like playing with other gamers, you can also experience the title on your own. However, it's much easier if you have help, especially when it comes to gathering resources and building. Fallout 76 isn't a hardcore survival game like Ark: Survival Evolved or Conan Exiles. Bethesda's Todd Howard called it "softcore survival" but it's unclear what that means. It seems that the focus will mostly be on completing quests rather than mining resources or chopping down trees.
