Australian gamers have been able to sink their teeth into the much anticipated new Fallout game ahead of their global counterparts.
Fallout 76 was marked for release at midnight on November 14 and thanks to an international rollout, Aussies are among the first in the world to explore the dystopian new world when servers went live about 10 hours ago.
The game hasn’t officially launched in every region and is supposed to go live at midnight, local time, in each country.
Fallout 76 started life as the multiplayer mode for Fallout 4, but three years after that game’s release, the multiplayer version has been built into its own stand-alone game.
Game developer Bethesda unveiled the title earlier this year and promises a rather different experience to what series fans are used to.
Set in a retro-futuristic world inspired by the 1950s, Fallout 76 casts the player as a resident of a huge fallout vault where they have been living since WWIII nuked the world. In 2076, on the tricentennial of the founding of the USA, they emerge from the vault with their fellow residents tasked with rebuilding society.
It’s the first online role-playing game set in the Fallout universe and all the humans you encounter are other players.
