Atlantic City Date Announcement
In case you missed it, last week at the Tokyo Game Show we announced the date for Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise! Cash in your chips, the casino opens on **December 5th!** Atlantic City brings with it new locations, factions, quests, enemies, rewards, and more!
There is a lot to talk about when it comes to Atlantic City, so much in fact that we broke this update into two separate releases, and this first release on December 5 into two separate Developer Deep Dives. For those who are subscribed to our YouTube channel, you can expect these videos on October 2 and October 5.
Alternatively, you can keep this article bookmarked, which will be updated with the videos as they are published.
Playtest Atlantic City Early!
Eager travelers don't have to wait long to experience what the Boardwalk has to offer! Starting October 3, the first release of Atlantic City content will be available to play on our Public Test Server.
There is more to our December update than Atlantic City. We've continued to improve upon the early game experience for new players and want to hear your feedback on the changes! Starting September 28th, our Public Test Server will open to all PC players who own a copy of Fallout 76 on steam.
This iteration of the PTS will not have any character imports initially. Getting your feedback on a fresh character waking up in the Vault is what we are focused on here.
"But what about Atlantic City?" You ask. On October 3rd, we will update the PTS build to include not only Atlantic City content for our December update, _but also the ability to change the weather in your C.A.M.P!_ For now, you will have two different weather settings to play around with... for now.
