Bethesda has announced that the much-awaited update for Fallout 4 will be released next week and can be purchased for just $5 before then. This update is expected to revamp the game and offer users a new gaming experience. The arrival of the update is considered to be the closest thing to a new installment in the Fallout series, with the next official release, Fallout 5, not expected for another decade.
Despite this, there has been a resurgence of interest in Fallout, especially after the release of Fallout 76, which many fans were not satisfied with. There has been a renewed appreciation for the earlier games in the series and the upcoming update for Fallout 4 is expected to attract both new and old fans to the game. The $4.99 price offer applies to both the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game and buying it now ensures that users will receive the current-gen update on April 25.
The rekindled interest in Fallout has also led to an increase in the player counts for Fallout 76, despite its initial negative reception. The game has undergone significant improvements since its launch in 2018, leading to a resurgence in interest. The focus on Fallout 4 is likely to continue until the release of Fallout 5, as Bethesda’s priority is currently on The Elder Scrolls 6.
Overall, this means that the release of a new Fallout game is still far in the future.
