Brotherhood of Steel Officially Arrives in Latest ‘Fallout 76’ Trailer For “Steel Dawn” Expansion
Good things come to those who wait, and those Fallout 76 players wanting to get their hands on the Brotherhood of Steel will have their chance next month when the “Steel Dawn” expansion arrives. In the meantime, you can psyche yourself up with the latest trailer for the expansion, showing the technology zealots themselves stomping around West Virginia.
The trailer also shows off the new NPCs that will be available in the game, which stay true to the Brotherhood’s no-nonsense approach to life. And it’s also great to see the classic Power Armor back in action. Along with the Brotherhood of Steel, the “Steel Dawn” expansion will feature camp shelters for you to build and decorate as you see fit, as well as two new “lite” allies you can add to your camp when you rank up to level 25 and 50.
“Steel Dawn” arrives on December 1 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Bloober Returns to ‘Star Trek’ With Psychological Thriller ‘Star Trek: Shadow Frontier’ [Trailer]
Bloober Team weren’t done dropping news this week. After surprising everyone with SAW: Genesis at Summer Game Fest yesterday, they’ve now announced a new horror-slanted Star Trek title with Paramount Games Studio in Star Trek: Shadow Frontier. This is the second Star Trek title Bloober has developed, having released the VR body horror title Star Trek: Infection earlier this year.
“We’ve long admired the way Bloober Team crafts deeply immersive, atmospheric experiences that keep players on the edge of their seats,” said Paramount Games Studio senior vice president and head of creative and production Shawn Kittelsen. “For Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, it was essential to partner with a studio that could both honor that legacy and push it forward. We have full confidence in Bloober’s ability to deliver a game that does justice to the ‘Star Trek’ name while bringing something bold and new to the beloved franchise.”
Launching for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam in 2027, Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is a story-driven action-adventure that sees players step into the role of former Lieutenant Ro Laren (voiced by Michelle Forbes). After crashing onto a distant planet overtaken by a strange consciousness, Ro Laren must survive in an environment that is as breathtaking as it is lethal. Ro’s mission is driven by duty and purpose. But here, discovery comes at a terrible cost. The more she uncovers, the deeper she is pulled into a corrupted labyrinth where her memories twist and the planet threatens to sever her connection to reality.
The hostile ecosystem of the planet poses a constant threat to Ro’s existence. It seeks to absorb Ro’s consciousness, burrowing deep into her mind and plaguing her with haunting visions. Environmental hazards and obstacles lurk around every corner. Exploration is both your only path to salvation and your potential undoing. Players will be able to use their Tricorder to scan and analyze items, and of course rely on their Phaser to solve puzzles and fend off enemies.
