The yesterday's teaser Publisher Bethesda officially announced 'Fallout 76' today, and the first short teaser trailer is now available. However, we'll have to wait a little longer for more information about the game.
The announcement commented the publisher simply with the words:
"Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning developer of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4, welcomes you to Fallout 76. Watch the Fallout 76 teaser trailer below. Further insights will be revealed at this year's Bethesda Showcase at E3 in Los Angeles, taking place on June 11 at 03:30 AM CEST."
Whether it's a direct sequel to the Fallout series or a completely new story remains to be seen. The title is being developed by studios in Maryland and Austin and will likely incorporate some online elements.
Further speculation suggests that the number '76' refers to Vault 76, which opened in 2076 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the United States. This would mean the story revolves around the fate of Vault 76's inhabitants, who were already mentioned in the prologue of Fallout 4, which takes place a year later in the timeline.
We'll keep you updated.
