Rumor: Fallout 76 Potentially Gearing Up To Go Free-To-Play
It’s only been a couple of months since Bethesda’s latest release, Fallout 76, and already we’ve seen the game reach incredible discounts up to 50% off the retails price. However, it seems a recent rumor regarding multiple EB Games stores in Australia have been pulling new copies of the game off shelves; leaving some to think Bethesda is gearing up for a free-to-play model for the multiplayer Fallout title.
In a video from popular Youtube channel, The Quartering, the curious action of removing the game from the shelves is highlighted and leaves many interested in the future of Fallout 76. While it’s only been a couple of mouths breathing this rumor about the popular video game store chain shedding its Fallout 76 copies, other online marketplaces have also mysteriously found themselves running low on stock.
Fallout 76 is the series’ first endeavor into the online multiplayer world, allowing players the chance to jump into the largest map ever created in a Fallout game. The expansive world of West Virginia in Fallout 76 didn’t release to the same positive attention as the other titles in the franchise, as many critics diced the game for broken gameplay, lack of single player direction, boring and repetitive objectives, and a world that seemed lifeless, albeit, a little tiresome in the middle of the post-apocalyptic playground.
Bethesda has acknowledged many of the issues with the game early on and consistently provides free updates to the game’s ongoing structure problem. Could going free-to-play fix the lack of player base that plagues the game, or will it just create more problems for Bethesda by peeving off the thousands of players who paid for the game only two short months ago.
Whatever may be the case, the idea of Fallout 76 going free-to-play should be taken with a grain of salt as no reputable sources have yet to come forward with any more information. If you were considering picking up Fallout 76, however, it might be worth it to hold off a little bit longer to see how this all plays out.
Sonic Frontier’s third and final free DLC update, The Final Horizon, is frustrating some players with its difficulty. Some say it’s Sonic’s hardest gameplay ever.
Many players complained about this unexpected difficulty spike in a 12-page GameFaqs forum post called “This DLC is way too hard” (thanks VGC). One of the main complaints about Sonic Frontiers was that it was too easy, and Team Sonic overcorrected, which makes it surprising.
Final Horizon, the last free update, let players play as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy and complete a variety of optional challenges, which is the challenge. Many are breaking down after a vertigo-inducing tower that requires pixel-perfect platforming without checkpoints, apparently inspired by viral Twitch hit Only Up!
Have you tried Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC? Is it really that hard, or has Sonic always been the Dark Souls of mascot platformers?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s cinematic trailer appeared suddenly as the wait seemed endless. It shows us that together, we can overcome anything.
The scene is surprisingly sad, with flashbacks to each Spider-Man’s tragic past. As property damages mount, Peter and Miles have emotional internal monologues while fighting Venom.
Venom appears to be about to lose when he realizes they can be stronger together before the scene fades to black. We won’t know how this story ends until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on October 20.
Do you think teamwork makes the dream work? Should you see more of Insomniac’s latest or are you sold?
A new trailer featuring Aleks Le’s fearless protagonist S.E.E.S makes Persona 3 Reload more real. Atlus promises weekly character tributes, so get excited. Our stoic protagonist, who will be playable on PS5 and PS4 when this remade RPG releases on February 2, is introduced well.
We’ve accepted playing without our favorite character and are starting to like Reload. The setting, story, and cast have always been great, and the more we learn about the proposed changes, the more we want to return to Tartarus.
With Persona 3 Reload, where are you? Did you play the game before or is this your first time?
