At theXbox Games Showcase 2024, we got a glimpse at the future of Fallout 76.
Fallout 76 has found a renewed surge in popularity since the Fallout TV show blew up.
Fast forward to 2024, and things are very different.
Super mutants next?!
First of all, congrats on the huge influx of new players and the resurgence!
It turns out I missed out on A LOT of stuff.
It’s no secret that the game was controversial at launch.
How has the road to get here been?
First off, welcome back to Appalachia!
You have missed a lot, but youre here now and that is what is important!
We hope youre just as excited about Skyline Valley as we are.
Fallout 76 has a huge update planned for the near future.
What can new, returning, and veteran players expect to find from this new experience?
Well, the biggest feature of this update is that weve expanded the map into Shenandoah National Park.
Something we have never done in 76, and its exciting!
Theres something for everyone in this new region.
spots with some very rich vistas.
Theyre also going to get our commitment to adding even more content to this area in the future.
What’s the update’s approach to story telling this time around?
Wastelanders offers some great classic Fallout choice-and-consequences gameplay, should we expect more of that with Skyline Valley?
Can you jump straight into the Skyline Valley content as a new player?
You don’t really see that until you get part of the way through Ash Heap, kind of.
And then that’s when it kind of starts to draw your attention.
But yeah, if somebody knew about it, wanted to bee line straight there, they could.
25 will probably be the minimum to start the quest.
you’re free to still go out there and do stuff around there [at any level].
Could we eventually see mod support for Fallout 76?
But we kind of gave them that in the game, which is better supported.
But yeah, we don’t officially support mods for a lot of different reasons.
We try not to break the UI mods, but sometimes it’s necessary.
A lot of it was just based on something weve wanted to do for a long time.
Could we see more expeditions in the future, perhaps to other fan-favorite locations like the Capital Wasteland?
Always a possibility, for sure … Is that something you guys discuss?
What are some of their biggest points of feedback you wish to address in the future?
This has been a request for a long time, and we have also wanted this.
Aside from that, there are several legacy systems that need some love.
One thing I’ve noticed is some contention over weapon balance.
How does the team approach balance in general?
Is cross-play, or cross-save something that is possible for Fallout 76?
I’ve seen a lot of chatter among the community about bringing back the Nuclear Winter PvP feature.
Is that something that could ever happen?
Its currently not on the roadmap to bring back.
Is there anything you’d like to add for the wider Fallout 76 community?
This is one of my favorite topics to talk about.
We have the absolute best community.
Our players, content creators, streamers, and influencers are, hands down, THE best.
The passion that they bring to the game is just not something you see in many games these days.
So, from our team to you all in the community…thank you for everything.
Youre amazing, and we cant wait to show you what we have cookin for you in the future.
The big Skyline Valley update is dropping on June 12, 2024.
