Bethesda Lays Out 2019 For ‘Fallout 76’

Published

on

Since it bears repeating, Fallout 76 has had a rough go since its release. Bethesda knows it, and appears to have addressed it with their newly-unveiled Roadmap for 2019.

Broken into seasons, the first update for this year begins with “Wild Appalachia” (which includes the previously-announced Survival Mode) coming in March on a rolling schedule. High-level Vault raids and a new game mode called “Nuclear Winter” will arrive this summer, and “Wastelanders”, which will include a whole new main quest, comes this Fall.

March 12 will bring brewing and distilling into the game, where you can cook up your own booze and drinks in your camp. March 19th will bring a new time-limited event called Fasnacht Parade that allows you to earn unique rewards in the form of festive masks. Finally, Survival Mode will arrive on March 26th.

Things continue on April 9th with a new series of quests called Shear Terror, and player vending, which allows players to place vending machines at their camps to sell items to other players. April 16 will introduce a camera as an in-game item, and May 7th introduces customizable backpacks and a bunch of new quests in Ever Upwards!, which allows you to earn ranks in the Pioneer Scouts.

“Wild Appalachia” closes out on May 23rd with the Legendary vendor known as the Purveyor, which allows you to swap or scrap your legendary items and acquire new ones.

As we pointed out in our review of Fallout 76, the game has a lot of potential, but as we’ve seen, it also still has a bit of work to do in order to really get itself up to the quality Fallout fans expect.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
