Players of Fallout 76 might soon be trekking outside the mountainous terrain of West Virginia’s Appalachia, or so hints the game’s lead designer, Ferret Baudoin. The game developers recently did an AMA on Fallout 76’s subreddit to celebrate the release of the game’s newest DLC, Wastelanders.
Fallout 76 got off to a rocky start when it initially launched in 2018, getting slammed for its many bugs, glitches and lack of human NPC’s. But with Wastelanders, Bethesda is trying to rectify that.
In the AMA, Baudoin was asked in a question that has since been deleted, “Are there any plans for us to explore somewhere beyond Appalachia?” Thanks to WCCFTech getting to the answer before it was deleted, we know the lead designer replied by cryptically saying, “We are talking about ways to do just this. Stay tuned.”
In an even more cryptic fashion, Baudion deleted the comment some time after. Why would he do this? Was it because Bethesda is actually planning to add a feature allowing players to leave Appalachia and they want to keep it hush-hush? Or was it because that feature is definitely not coming and Bethesda didn’t want to get people excited for something that’s not happening? Could be either of the two. Either way, it’s all just speculation.
The AMA was home to other news about Fallout 76, such as the possibility of adding pets, their future focus on replayable content, and the “looking for group” tool that’s coming to the game soon.
