As part of its long-term plans for the franchise, Bethesda confirmed that Fallout 76 will receive a major expansion next year called Raven Rock. According to the studio, the expansion serves as a prequel story to Fallout 3, giving players a chance to explore one of the series’ most recognizable locations before the events of the 2008 RPG.

Bethesda also reiterated that Fallout 76 remains an important part of its strategy, noting that millions of players are still exploring Appalachia together.

Fallout 76 continues to be home to millions of players exploring Appalachia together. With nearly 70 free updates released to date, the journey is far from over. In fact, we have a major Fallout 76 expansion planned for next year: Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3.

While the developer stopped short of revealing gameplay details, a release window beyond next year, or exactly how the expansion connects to Fallout 3, the announcement confirms that Bethesda still has significant plans for its online RPG.

With Raven Rock now officially announced, Fallout 76 players can look forward to another major adventure while Bethesda continues to work for the next generation of Fallout games.
