Fallout 76 blev afsløret for nylig, og kort efter svirrede der flere rygter, der påstår at spillet fokuserer på online-funktionalitet og basebyggeri. Det har gjort rigtig mange skuffede, og vrede over den retning Bethesda er ved at tage serien, men personen det første gang hentydede til dette skift siger nu, at fans ikke bør bekymre sig alt for meget.
Kotakus Jason Schreier har nemlig taget en tur på Reddit for at forsikre om, at Fallout 76 sætter et lige så stort fokus på historiefortælling som andre Bethesda-spil.
"I've seen a lot of rage and confusion (and denial) on this subreddit so I just wanted to chime in to say a couple of things. One is that, after publishing my story, I heard from a few other sources (in addition to the three mentioned in the article) corroborating that Fallout 76 is an online game. If you're really still in denial, I guess you can wait until June 10, but hey, don't say I didn't tell you."
"The second thing is that I'm very optimistic about this game. The buzz I'm hearing (both first- and second-hand) is that it's really cool, interesting, and just as story-focused as any other Bethesda Game Studios game. It might have multiplayer and base-building, but hey, it's still a Fallout game. I don't want to drive hype for a game I haven't seen or played, but I also don't want people to be so closed-minded that they spend the next nine days freaking out every day on Reddit because this game isn't going to be like the last three. I mean, how many of you remember when hardcore Fallout fans flipped a shit because Bethesda was making a first-person shooter?"
