The new game “Fallout 76” is not supposed to be a classic Fallout, but instead is said to be oriented towards online games like Rust. This is reported by a US site, citing anonymous sources.
Where does this come from? This comes from US author Jason Schreier. He has frequently obtained such rumors for Kotaku that later turned out to be true. Schreier cites three sources who are familiar with the project. However, they want to remain anonymous to protect their careers.
Is the rumor credible? Yes, Schreier is known for being able to tap such sources in major studios. He has previously had “rumors” about Destiny or Anthem that later turned out to be true.
Fallout 76 was once Fallout 4 Multiplayer
Fallout 76 inspired by Rust and DayZ: The new Fallout game “Fallout 76” is said to be influenced by survival titles like Rust or DayZ. It was originally a multiplayer version of Fallout 4. However, Fallout 76 has evolved more towards survival over the years.
But it also has quests and story: The game is supposed to have quests and stories, so Bethesda remains true to its “Skyrim” roots.
Base Building, Survival, and RPG
But also base building: The game is said to feature survival and multiplayer mechanics, including base building. The idea is that Fallout 76 opens just 20 years after a nuclear war. The world is significantly more uncivilized and emptier than in Fallout 3 and 4. In Fallout 76, players must first build up civilization, fitting with the trailer that says: “When the fallout settles, you must rebuild.”
Fallout 76 is supposed to evolve: According to sources, Fallout 76 is intended as an online game and as a “games-as-a-service” title. It will and should constantly change and evolve.
When will we know if all of this is true? On June 11 at E3 around 3:30 AM. Then Bethesda will unveil the game “Fallout 76” at a press conference.
In trend two years ago: Ironically, our author Andreas Bertits wished for a game like this more than two years ago as Fallout 5. In 2016, survival MMOs like Rust and ARK: Survival Evolved were still very much in trend. This has declined in recent years. However, Conan Exiles has shown that such a title can indeed achieve success.
