Fallout 76 Release Date Announced

By Marty Sliva and Alex Osborn

Fallout 76 will be released on November 14. This news came during Bethesda’s E3 2018 showcase.

Prior to launch, Bethesda will hold a beta (aka Break-it Early Test Application). A launch date for the beta has yet to be announced, but preordering the game is required to participate.

Additionally, Bethesda pulled back the curtain on the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition. This special edition includes a wearable T-51b helmet, glow-in-the-dark terrain map, 24 figurines, canvas West Tek duffel bag, and more.
