Upcoming Update For Fallout 76 Let’s You Play As A Ghoul, Coming This Month

The past roadmap of major updates for Fallout 76 has remained to be fulfilling for avid players for the live-service. Over a year ago, the latest expedition for Fallout 76 introduced a new setting in Atlantic City as well as new adversaries to the universe. And this past summer also welcomed the first map expansion to the Appalachian Wasteland in Skyline Valley for Fallout 76.

Overall, the game also faced new heights in terms of engagement with the Fallout show that release on Amazon Prime last spring. At its height, over one million concurrent players were actively on Fallout 76. And for lifetime users, Bethesda announced that Fallout 76 did also make a new milestone with 20 million players as well.

Originally teased in Skyline Valley, the new feature to enable playing as a Ghoul is officially coming to Fallout 76 as part of Season 20: Glow of the Ghoul on March 18th. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

According to a showcase video from Fallout 76 creator T0nik, the ability to transform into a Ghoul will be available at level 50 where a quest will be unlocked, ‘Leap of Faith’. Choosing to abandon your smooth skin will also unlock new traits to accompany your new look. It is said that features including the Glow System & Feral Meter will both be available to use as new abilities for the change of appearance. Unique Perk Cards are also included.

However, there is prejudice to radiated beings in the wasteland and select factions will not welcome you to interact or do quests with. So, disguising yourself is a must to continue your activities. Overall offering a new approach to Fallout 76, players can decide to switch back in the main menu if they miss the skin they were born with.
