As respectable game developers and studios are preparing for the E3 in two weeks’ time, some are already announcing what is in store for players ahead of the event. We have posted here the revelations of Call of Duty, Battlefield, Fortnite, and more. The latest to make an announcement and which many airsoft players have shared on social media is Bethesda announcing what Fallout 76 will be this year.

In its official teaser video, it is rather a cryptic one and does not show even a gameplay scene though many reports say Bethesda hints at Fallout 76 being a Survival Role Playing Game (RPG). Jason Schreier of Kotaku reports that sources familiar with the project say that it is inspired by DayZ and Rust. Furthermore, the gaming news website says it will be something completely new and completely different.

Schreier makes the case that Bethesda is known for RPGs such as Skyrim and will also feature base building. He also says that Fallout: 76 takes place before Fallouts 3 and 4 which means that Vault 76 was meant to be opened 20 years after the nuclear war whilst the first two titles were full settlements many years into the future, as the trailer says, “When the fighting stopped, and the fallout has settled, you must rebuild.”

The speculation is that Vault 76 is located in West Virginia, as the teaser opens with “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, a song by John Denver. Though the teaser did not put a confirmation that it is West Virginia for many familiar with the song, the name West Virginia will be recalled in their minds. Vault 76 gets revealed in the trailer and the remains of a party in preparation of “Reclamation Day” lay scattered around. But as many Fallout players know, it’s going to be really different world that they will try to reclaim.

Pre-orders are now up for Falloout 76 and will be available on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. As for the release date, the trailer shows a PIP-Boy showing a date October 27, 2102. That can probably the actual release date of the game.
