Scheduled for spring 2024, the Atlantic City Update introduces players to the iconic city of New Jersey, where the Fallout team promises a rich and diverse environment to explore.

Among the new content, Fallout 76 will release additional features and improvements that cater to both dedicated builders and adventurous players.
Fallout 76 Season 15: The Big Score Running from December to March
While specific details about the 2024 expansion remain undisclosed, the announcement assures fans of ongoing content releases. Alongside the massive update, Fallout 76 Season 15 will take place from December 2023 to March 2024, and will feature the Holiday Scorched Event, Burning Love Challenge Event, and more.
Fallout 76 Reaches 17M Players
The game initially faced criticism for its rocky launch in 2018 but has since then undergone significant improvements and content updates over the past five years.
Since the Wastelanders update in 2020, Fallout 76 has seen a positive transformation, earning a 'mostly positive' user review rating on Steam. Bethesda reports that over 17 million players have engaged with the game.
Bethesda art director Jon Rush writes in the announcement:
"As we look ahead to another exciting year in Appalachia, we can’t help but feel a warm glow (or perhaps that’s radiation?) emanating from the amazing community of players in Fallout 76. Just last month, we celebrated our fifth anniversary, and we’ve come a long way since we first stepped out of the Vault into the wastelands of Appalachia.
Together, 17 million players have experienced new Fallout tales and characters with Wastelanders. You’ve made major choices affecting the area’s outcome in Steel Reign and Steel Dawn. You’ve even ventured beyond Appalachia’s borders with The Pitt and now Atlantic City. You’ve seen traveling carnivals, unlocked tons of content with Fallout Seasons, fought Spooky Scorched, set foot on New Jersey’s glamorous post-nuclear boardwalk and much more."
Fallout TV Series Coming to Amazon Prime in Spring 2024
On top of the new content coming to the game, Rush reminds fans of more new content crossovering to the medium of TV & film. Rush writes, "And we can’t forget the premiere of the highly anticipated Fallout TV series, coming to Amazon Prime this spring."
The episodic TV series is set to provide an expanded look at the Fallout universe and is produced in collaboration between Bethesda Games Studios and Kilter Films.
