When it comes to online games, the question always is: for how long will the game get an active support in the form of bug fixes, updates and DLC? Judging by comments made by Bethesda's Pete Hines, Fallout 76 will be supported for a very long time.
In an interview with Metro, Hines says the plan is to support the game "forever".
"I'm not being ironic. Like, forever. Because other people have said, 'Is your timeline two years or five years?' And I said, 'Well, they're still playing Morrowind and you go online and look at how many people are playing Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Those games have been out for four and seven years, and there are literally hundreds of thousands of people playing those games every single day, every single month."
Bethesda's upcoming online survival RPG Fallout 76 will be released on November 14 and you can read our preview while you wait for that day to come.
Forever is a very long time, realistically we'll only see major updates and DLC for as long as the game is profitable and it remains to be seen how long that is. It's good to know that Bethesda are planning for the longterm though... What do you think?
