Fallout 76 is an online action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, set in a massive open world within the post-apocalyptic universe of the Fallout series. The game takes place in Appalachia, a region that covers parts of West Virginia, shortly after a nuclear war has devastated the Earth. As one of the "Vault Dwellers" emerging from Vault 76, players must explore, survive, and rebuild in this expansive wasteland, filled with mutated creatures, hostile factions, and valuable resources.
Unlike previous entries in the series, Fallout 76 features an entirely online multiplayer experience where players can team up with friends or encounter other players as they traverse the world. The game emphasizes exploration, base-building with the C.A.M.P. (Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform) system, and dynamic quests that change the landscape of the game world. With ongoing updates, new content, and seasonal events, Fallout 76 has continued to evolve, offering a blend of classic Fallout storytelling and open-world survival elements in a living, ever-changing online environment.
