Hope In Appalachia

This update has being a long time coming, Fallout 76 players have being screaming out for additional content for a while now and it looks like Bethesda have listened. Fallout 76 promised a lot prior to release but many players felt let down when the it finally launched.

Unfortunately, Fallout 76 was riddled with bugs and many complained that there wasn’t enough there to keep players grinding and entertained. Bethesda, with the volume of content being added here, will hope to get players back to Appalachia. Hopefully it’s not to late, Fallout 76 has had its fair share of bad press since release but the game and its dedicated player base deserves more. This might be the update that all Fallout 76 fans have being waiting for.
