Bethesda Game Studios just shared the 2022 roadmap for what fans can expect in Fallout 76. We've got content revealed for every season in the year, including that damned Summer season what with its hot weather and mowing of lawns.
The seasonal content throughout 2022 may seem a little familiar to those that have played previous Fallout titles. There's a season focusing on aliens and a season focusing on a little place called The Pitt. Both of these seasons seem to take some inspiration from the Fallout 3 expansions of Mothership Zeta and The Pitt. Though I admit that the Mothership Zeta tie-in is merely a flimsy guess on my part.
In the Winter, you will get to experience the road show for Nuka-World, based off of the Nuka-World DLC for Fallout 4.
Not going to lie here: I'm not sure what previous Fallout DLC the Summer "Test Your Metal" content is based off of.
There's a lot to look forward to throughout 2022. Without further ado, here is a quick rundown of what Bethesda is working on for each season.
Spring
Our next patch will be here soon with an all-new seasonal event, Invaders From Beyond. In this map-wide event, players encounter UFO appearances and aliens. Defeat the invaders and destroy their deployed Brainwave Siphons before they complete their â€researchâ€. This patch also brings improvements and changes to Fallout Worlds, including the ability to earn S.C.O.R.E. on daily and weekly challenges, new settings for C.A.M.P. buildings, PvP settings, disabling VATS, and Legendary Perks.
Summer
The Test Your Metal update comes with three new public events: Test Your Metal, Eviction Notice, and Moonshine Jamboree. Fallout 1st members can expect scoreboard improvements like exclusive challenges, increased S.C.O.R.E. earn rate, and exclusive board ranks.
Fall
Expeditions: The Pitt arrives and introduces a whole new way to play Fallout 76. Accessed by a new hub in Whitespring, players will venture outside of Appalachia for the first time in the game. This update introduces repeatable off-site Missions where players will earn new rewards, meet new NPCs with quests and dialogue trees, and reintroduces the Trogs, an enemy first seen in Fallout 3‘s The Pitt.
Winter
An entrepreneur of the wasteland has kicked the tires and uncapped the pre-war Nuka-World on Tour travelling roadshow. The roadshow has set its sights on the Ash Heap region of Appalachia. Players can anticipate new Public Events with this update including a new Region Boss Public Event. Earn loot, explore the grounds, and interact with new NPCs to learn more about the show.
