“We’re at all times targeted on the sport,” Bethesda Recreation Studios’ “Fallout 76” artistic director Jon Rush advised Selection throughout an interview at Summer time Recreation Fest in Los Angeles in June. “I feel a definite trait of the ‘Fallout 76’ sport is that we’re the furthest again in time. And it’s type of humorous, as a result of the present’s the furthest into the longer term. So there’s loads of room the place we don’t essentially have to overlap. There are some issues that we may overlap the tales ,that might exist, however we largely attempt to maintain these fairly easy. So the present could be very efficient storytelling, nice storytelling, very ‘Fallout,’ being made by people which can be massive followers of the sport and the sequence, and so are we. The 2 go collectively rather well. So people see the present and wish extra of that very same type of story, and so they’re going to come back into ’76,’ they’re going to come back into ‘Fallout 4,’ or come into ‘Fallout 3.’ Lining issues up with the seasonal releases of the present, it’s stuff that we discuss on a regular basis, and we do have plans for issues right here and there. I’m not going to enter element on any of these now, however the two groups do speak to 1 one other.”

Since launch, the “Fallout 76” workforce has seen early participant habits with the fishing replace, particularly, an affinity for constructing fishing camps.

“In order you go and also you fish and also you do your dailies and your weekly challenges, and also you additionally do issues within the season, there’s loads of issues throughout the camp that now you possibly can really create a fishing camp,” “Fallout 76” lead producer Invoice LaCoste mentioned. “And so what we’re seeing so much proper now’s individuals are discovering these actually like area of interest areas of streams and lakes and issues like that that they’ve by no means actually type of found, and so they’re going, I’m going to construct a camp there. After which they construct a camp, after which they put up a climate station. And now they’re realizing that having a climate station that produces rain or has a rad storm tied to it could then improve your probabilities of uncommon fish. And so now they’re really doing it with intent. So it’s reinforcing many, many alternative programs throughout the sport, and it’s not simply stopping by a physique of water.”
