Hands-on with Fallout 76’s next expansion: Yep, it has Walton Goggins
Like anybody, I have a few controversial gaming opinions and tastes. One of the most controversial is that Fallout 76 -the multiplayer take on Bethesda's rethink of a beloved '90s open-world computer roleplaying game-has been my favorite online multiplayer game since its launch.
As much as I like the game, though, I've been surprised that it has actually grown over the past seven years. I'm not saying it's seen a full, No Man's Sky-like redemption story, though. It's still not for everyone, and in some ways, it has fallen behind the times since 2018.
Nevertheless, the success of the streaming TV show based on the game franchise has attracted new playersand given the developers a chance to seize the moment and attempt to complete a partial redemption story. To help make that happen, the game's developers will soon release an expansion fully capitalizing on that TV series for the first time, and I got to spend a few hours playing that update to see if it's any fun.
