Bethesda releases roadmap of free new content for Fallout 76

Bethesda has released a Fallout 76 roadmap. Three free DLC packs should be released this year with game modes, quests, events, features and even a new main quest. The publisher also acknowledges the problematic beginnings of the game’s life.

The first DLC to be released is Wild Appalachia, starting March 12. Bethesda states that its content will be released over the next few weeks. This DLC includes Survival mode, which focuses on PVP with “less restrictions, more rewards and new challenges”. This DLC also includes two new quests and new features, including the ability to buy legendary items and break them down for materials.

The second DLC, Nuclear Winter, includes a game mode of the same name. Nothing is actually said about it yet, apart from that it ‘completely changes the rules of the wasteland’. The third dlc, Wastelanders, is not really mentioned at all, apart from that it has to be the ‘most ambitious update’.

Bethesda thanks the players who stuck with it despite the technical problems the game has. The developer says it has fixed many of these issues and that the stability of the servers has “increased by more than 300 percent”, although the math behind that is not disclosed. On average, players would spend four hours a day in the game. Those curious about the technical issues for which the game has become somewhat infamous, YouTuber Joseph Anderson, among others, has done an extensive inventory of the issues.
