Fallout 76 does not allow you to get a companion (at least not at launch)

One of the most famous dogs in the video game, Dogmeat of the Fallout franchise, will apparently not appear in the new version of Fallout 76 that is expected next month. Today, in Melbourne, at a panel hosted by PAX Australia, Bethesda's director of marketing, Pete Hines, confirmed that it was impossible to acquire a canine companion in Fallout 76.

The audience booed loudly. Seeing the play backfire, Hines then explained that if the players really Bethesda Game Studios, developer, wants to add a dog to Fallout 76 and add it to its list of features to consider for the game after its launch. The audience applauded that. However, it remains to be seen whether Bethesda would add Dogmeat or a different dog to Fallout 76.

Hines also explained how Fallout 76, which is a multiplayer and still online game, unlike the previous entries in the series, will use the game model as a service. He defended this model, claiming that games as a service could be beneficial for a game like Fallout 76, as they allowed Bethesda to listen to fan comments and add new content and features to the game. game over time.

Fallout 76 will be released Nov. 14 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. An exclusive pre-order beta is currently running on Xbox One, and will be available on PS4 and PC starting October 30th.
