‘Fallout 76’ Devs Reveal New Quests, New Features, and More Coming Soon With New Road Map

Bethesda has talked about new features on the horizon for a while now regarding their online title Fallout 76, and though we’re still waiting for things like private servers and mod support the team did reveal their upcoming plans for a ton of new features on the way – including new quest lines.

The team took to the game’s official website to share what’s new coming to the Appalachia mountains this year. Spring looks to be jammed back with new content, detailing what’s on the way beginning in March all the way until May. Bethesda also teased what’s beyond the first wave of content drops, even hinting at what’s on the way for Summer and Fall.

“A mythical beast, a lost generation of scouts, and the strongest brew this side of the wasteland,” reads the most recent blog post. “Welcome to Wild Appalachia – a series of new quests, features, events, crafting systems and more starting on March 12 and appearing over several weeks.”

• New Quests: Shear Terror! – Uncover the ‘encryptid’ secrets of Appalachia in a new series of quests and encounters to separate monsters from myths.

The vending machines do all the work, you just need to count the caps.
