Fallout 76 multiplayer is a "scary" start of the series

Fallout 76 the first multiplayer game of the series, it's also the first multiplayer game from Bethesda Game Studios. Pete Hines, Vice President of Marketing, acknowledges that the new title is a "scary" departure from the series because it is very different from the developer.

In an interview with GameSpot, Hines said that Fallout 76 looks like the games of the past, but there are aspects that will feel different.

For example, the tone, atmosphere, appearance and feel of the world can give you a sense of familiarity and allow you to understand things well. It's still a Fallout world, even though these things are different. But yes, it's a really scary and different thing. We are fully aware of it. We are making changes and putting in place a different type of game, but we are looking forward to seeing what it can become.

Hines added that the next title will be able to accomplish things that previous games have not been able to accomplish. For example, players could not experience the game with their friends or ask for help if they were stuck. They will now be able to "improve" their experiences and share them with their friends.

"Yes, it's a departure, and it's new and scary," Hines said. "But it's an opportunity to share with people the experiences they've always wanted but never had before."

Fallout 76 will be released November 14, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. A beta test will be posted on the PS4 on October 30th.
