After months of fan concern over Fallout 76 and its approach to player versus player combat, it seems as though Bethesda has failed to really get one important detail across: you can disable player versus player combat in the settings menu. A small detail in Eurogamer's preview of the game, the publication writes: "The game disables PvP...
News Fallout 76's Map Revealed, Four Times Larger Than Fallout 4's
Welcome to West Virginia
Bethesda has made some amazing open worlds in the past, with massive maps just begging to be explored, and hopefully Fallout 76 is no different.

A new home
We're always happy to give these comical Fallout trailers a watch, and the latest video fresh from Gamescom 2018 is a good laugh. It goes over the importance of crafting and building a place that you can call home in Fallout 76.

The studio's grown
Following on from the huge success of Fallout 3 back in 2008, Bethesda looked to capitalise on the series' rebirth with Fallout: New Vegas, which launched around two years later.

News Fallout 76's Beta Will Brave the PS4 After the Xbox One
Staying in the Vault
Even the most optimistic among you will probably expect Fallout 76 to launch in a less than desirable state when it arrives on 14th November, so it’s probably not worth panicking over the title’s beta being delayed on the PlayStation 4. This seems like it’s down to some sort of marketing arrangement, as PC players will...

News Fallout 76 Is Going All-Out at E3 2018
Bethesda gets the big one
Every year, one of E3's biggest games gets pasted across the towers of The Hotel Figueroa in Los Angeles.
