Fallout 76 is set to be one of the big releases of the year and it will be the first online multiplayer game that Bethesda has produced.
Game review: Fist Of The North Star: Lost Paradise is a very odd mash-up
All characters in the game will be actual players and it will be set in an open world version of West Virginia.
It is a narrative prequel to the previous games in the series and it is set in an alternate version of history.
Each player will be able to create their own character using the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system that has become a regular feature in the Fallout games, and it will be possible to play the game solo or with friends.
When is the Fallout 76 release date?
Fallout 76 will be released worldwide on Wednesday 14 November 2018.
Fans of the game can get access to a beta version of the game if they pre-order their copy.
