In Fallout 76, Reclamation Day marks the event in 2103 the place Vault Dwellers go away Vault 76 and begin their journey in Appalachia. In the actual world, Fallout Day is a celebration of the Fallout franchise, set on the identical date as Reclamation Day. For the 2024 celebration, Bethesda held a Fallout Day broadcast, displaying a number of the subsequent updates coming to the sport. This contains pets, a fishing minigame, and an end-game raid that caps off with a large, terrifying snake boss.
The Fallout Day video confirmed a number of Bethesda builders speaking about their day-to-day work, sharing real recollections of excellent cheer within the wasteland, and tongue-in-cheek complaints about how a lot of a ache it’s to work with a ghoul colleague. The spotlight is the brand new end-game raid, which takes heavy inspiration from MMO-style dungeons, and is supposed to be a severe problem for devoted gamers. Groups will delve underground, survive being hunted by an infuriated mole miner, and finally face the Ultracite Terror — a giant, scary snake initially impressed by a coal miner.
We additionally discovered extra about what enjoying a ghoul might be like in sport. Bethesda first revealed again in June that gamers may grow to be ghouls, however with this video, the developer confirmed off a number of the results that alternative may have on gameplay. For one, as an alternative of starvation or thirst, ghouls might want to fear a couple of “feral” meter. Going feral gives some advantages in fight, however because the Fallout present on Amazon depicts, nobody desires to go too feral. Ghouls will even have distinctive skills to select from, and so they’re completely resistant to rads — actually, radiation will heal them. Nonetheless, some factions, just like the Brotherhood of Metal, deal with ghoul gamers with derision and hostility, until you craft a intelligent disguise. If the ghoul life is simply an excessive amount of, gamers can decide out completely and return to being human.
Bethesda additionally confirmed off the 2 new pets gamers will have the ability to unlock for his or her bases — a canine and a cat, with extra to return in future updates. Personally, I’m intrigued by the plain trace at a fishing minigame. I hope I can catch a three-eyed fish and prepare dinner it up for dinner with minimal danger of mutation. No Man’s Sky not too long ago added a fishing minigame that was very well-received. Maybe players merely yearn for the standard lifetime of a fisher.
