The most prevalent speculation surrounding Fasllout 76 in the build-up to E3 had been that it would be Bethesda’s very own take on the shared-world approach, that it’d be an online survival game in vein of something like Rust. Bethesda’s Todd Howard took the stage late in the show to confirm that that is indeed true. In his own words, Fallout 76 is “entirely online”. However, per every server of the game, there are only going to be a few dozen players, not hundreds or thousands. As Todd said, “it’s an apocalyptic wasteland, not an amusement park”.
