Todd Howard: Fallout 76 is our top focus, and fans of the Prime TV show should check it out.

As we dive into the holiday season, there’s nothing quite like a captivating RPG to help us escape from family drama and questionable potluck dishes. Todd Howard, executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios, has just the title in mind: Fallout 76.

In a recent chat at an event, Howard highlighted Fallout 76 as the perfect entry point for newcomers, especially those drawn in by Amazon’s TV adaptation.

“Right now, Fallout 76 is the game we’re focusing on the most. The Burning Springs update just launched, and the ghoul is now part of the game. If you’re enjoying the show and thinking, ‘I want to dive into that world,’ 76 is fantastic right now, and you’ll get to connect with other players in the community.”

While it’s easy to read into casual remarks made during a public event, it’s noteworthy that Howard emphasized Fallout 76 as the title receiving the most attention from Bethesda at this moment, especially with Elder Scrolls 6 looming on the horizon as one of the most anticipated releases. Just last month, Howard hinted that Elder Scrolls 6 was actually the project consuming the most resources at Bethesda, so take his latest comments with a grain of skepticism.

Nonetheless, Howard was excited to share that Walton Goggins returned to voice the Ghoul in Fallout 76, marking a significant moment for the franchise.
