Fallout 76, there is no doubt that no game in recent memory received that has received as much disdain from gaming culture as a whole. From Bethesda’s infamous mistakes in communication and blunders in regards to the collector’s edition of Fallout 76 all the way to broken servers and a massive amount of bugs and glitch galore. It is safe to say, the game has taken a massive amount of deserved criticism. However, it appears that Bethesda is nowhere near ready to give up on Fallout 76. In celebration of 100 days since the launch of Fallout 76, Bethesda revealed a roadmap of content for the game for the remainder of 2019. To say the scope of the content is impressive is an absolute understatement. In a blog post, Bethesda outlined 3 major expansions that will be coming to Fallout 76 throughout 2019. These 3 expansions are Wild Appalachia, Nuclear Winter, and Wastelanders. Bethesda goes into detail within the post about what sort of content players will have access to in these expansions.
