Announced during the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase, the next major expansion for Fallout 76 is called Expeditions - The Pitt, which will see players travelling beyond the borders of Appalachia on an expedition to the ruined remains of Pittsburgh (a location which will be familiar to players of Fallout 3's second DLC, also called The Pitt).
In the meantime, though, Fallout 76 players will have plenty to keep them busy. Season 9 of the liveservice aspect of the game begins today, 14 June, and a breadth of new content will be introduced as part of the Test Your Metal update, which brings with it new quests, activities, season rewards, and more.

Fallout76 expansion = LoLLL
@PlatinumPlaystation yeah, I kinda feel since Bethesdas next games are Xbox only they’re trying to milk $ from PS users as long as they can.
Bethesda: fans want to get New Vegas 2 and remakes the first two installments.
Fans: Yeah, guys, we want.
Bethesda: it’s time released the new expansion to Fallout 76. It’s a perfect idea!
Fans: oh, ***** *angry
The fact that there are people supporting this game is sad.
I can't be the only one that got the LOST reference in that subheading.
Is this game actually worth playing now as mostly single player story driven experience?
How is this steaming pile of dog turd still going? Even Konami gave up with Metal Gear Survive.
@Gloamin You can only make one first impression so its up to Bethesda to make that a good. Its not the bandwagon its just right also tons of crunch in the gamedevelopment.
Im not waiting years to play a game untill its good thats also on Bethesda. You want nonsense Spiderman puddlegate.
Guildwars on PC played it from day one several years played more 1000 hours it got expansions every time and it ran out of the box on day perfectly without a subscription.
I had some fun with 76, especially after Wastelanders. I've been meaning to try and finish the Platinum for the game but a couple of tge trophies I need are kill other players and revive other players, which are annoying to get without friends.
I've been waiting for The Pitt - it was my favorite DLC from Fallout 3 - so maybe this is the time to go back.
I love fallout but 76 isn’t even fallout to me. It’s just garbage
@elvisfan1 don’t tell me what I can’t do!
Think I'll download this on Game Pass because, well, why not?
And still no native PS5 version with 60fps.
I'm one of those people turned off too badly by first impression. I paid full price at launch, played about an hour on launch night and it was so bad I've never launched it again. I know people tell me it's popular now, it's better now, and it's a real game now. But that was such a terrible experience that I just haven't touched it at all.
Bethesda's version of Fallout never worked for me as a fan of the dark comedy originals (torch carried by Outer Worlds.) But 76 at least at launch went so stone-cold serious/survival/horror I didn't even recognize the brand.
@ChrisDeku I would say you're better off playing 4 (or 3 or NV) if you're looking for a story driven experience. While the story is better now than when it first released, it's definitely the weakest of any Bethesda Fallout. Plus since it's a live service game, you can actually approach the story with a new character in a jumbled out of order mess (i.e. they still have the story quests where there are no NPC, while a ton of NPC's are walking around you, which you can do at the same time as the NPC's have returned quests). You'd probably appreciate the story more had you been playing since the beginning which would've forced things to be in an order and presented in a way that makes sense.
@Nepp67 I also consider cosmetic DLC as unnecessary for not affecting the game, but so many games have them there must be people out there who enjoy and buy them. It's pretty rude of you to call those people sad though.
All I wish is fallout 4 60fps patch.
@Gloamin Watch the last Jimquisition and tell why its a few companies that always get named when its about abuse.
I bought FO76 for $9.99 when it was a giant dumpster fire. Now it's less of that but more like just a flaming bag of poo.
I've DL'd some updates and I still find it annoying and irritating to play. It's not Fallout to me. It looks like a "reasonable facsimile thereof", but that's about it.
Makes me wonder if Starfield will be more FO4 or more FO76. I can get it for my PC when it comes out, but I'm not really interested. I think FO76 simply turned me off of future Bethesda games. That's quite a legacy.
No thanks, wake me up when Fallout 5 is legit announced.
