Fallout 76 is proving to be one mess after another. First, the bugs and the broken state the game launched in left some players regretting their purchase, and then there was even more disappointment surrounding one of pack-in items that shipped with the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition. Instead of the canvas bag that was seen in pre-release advertising materials, buyers received a cheap nylon bag, which certainly made the Power Armor Edition's $200 price tag less palatable.

Back at E3 2018, Bethesda made something of a surprise announcement by revealing The Elder Scrolls: Blades. The announcement was a surprise, in part, because we weren't exactly expecting an Elder Scrolls announcement, much less one for an Elder Scrolls mobile game. Regardless, Blades is what we got, and Bethesda said at the time that it would be out sometime this autumn.

The fan reaction to Fallout 76 keeps getting worse and worse. Not only has the game been subject to poor-to-middling reviews from critics, but now players who shelled out a lot of cash for the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition are upset. Those Armored Edition owners aren't pleased with what Bethesda has offered as an apology either, adding further to the company's problems.

Fallout 76's first post-launch update is here, and it's absolutely massive. The patch weighs in at a whopping 47GB, which is nearly as big as the game itself. Currently, Fallout 76 is down for maintenance as the update is applied, with no word on when the game will come back up just yet.

Bethesda is taking a rather interesting approach to its Fallout 76 beta. Instead of keeping the beta up 24/7 during its duration and letting players access it whenever they want, it's instead only sending the beta live for a few hours at a time. These periods of beta uptime aren't even happening every day, so players need to be on the lookout for start and end times if they really want to spend some time with the game.

Today is a big day for Fallout fans and Bethesda alike, as the beta for Fallout 76 begins on Xbox One. Fallout 76 is a pretty big release for Bethesda, as it ventures into what is uncharted territory for the company: multiplayer. Bethesda's biggest franchises, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, have traditionally been single player ones, but Fallout 76 turns all of that on its head by being a multiplayer-only game.

One of the most interesting launches of the year is likely going to be Fallout 76. This new game represents a big move for the Fallout franchise and for Bethesda in general, and it's a multiplayer game in a traditionally single player series. There are definitely a lot of people curious to see if the Fallout formula can work in a multiplayer game, and those people don't necessarily need to wait until the game launches to find out.

Sony's aversion to allowing cross-platform compatibility in games that release for the PS4 has been a source of frustration for a lot of gamers, but now one publisher is laying down an ultimatum. Bethesda is gearing up to launch its free-to-play card game, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, on console, and it seems to be saying that a PS4 release won't happen if Sony doesn't start playing nice with other platforms.

At E3 last June, Bethesda dropped multiple bombshells, many of which still have to actually land in players’ hands. One of the most anticipated but also most doubted of the pack is Fallout 76, an online survival version of the widely popular franchise. The skepticism and concern mostly come from the Herculean task of bringing elements that made Fallout a hit to an online setting without also bringing the most hated elements of online games. And at QuakeCon, Bethesda revealed exactly how it plans to do that.

At QuakeCon earlier today, Bethesda announced that Quake Champions, the game it launched as an early access title last year, is now available for free. The game will remain free for the entirety of its existence, giving everyone the chance to play the latest evolution of Quake, the hit shooting game originally launched in 1996.

QuakeCon 2018 is officially underway, and perhaps the biggest part of Bethesda's keynote address was the reveal of DOOM Eternal gameplay. We were first introduced to the game back at E3 2018, but what was announced then amounted to nothing more than a teaser. Today, however, we received our first real look at the game, and it's looking just as gruesome and action-packed as the game that preceded it.
