Double Eleven, the crew behind Rust, will work with Bethesda Game Studios to produce brand-new content for Fallout 76. This news follows in the wake of Design Director Mark Tucker recently teasing Bethesda's five-year roadmap for Fallout 76, which is not yet fully formed. According to what Tucker told AusGamers, at least three years of the five-year plan look solid at present. The remaining two years on the roadmap appear much fuzzier, but Bethesda has no intention of giving up on the online experience just yet.

Fallout 76 launched as an online-only title nearly four years ago in late 2018. To the chagrin of franchise faithful, most of Fallout's usual trappings were absent at launch, including human NPCs and story-driven quests. Bethesda rectified many of these issues upon launching the Wastelanders expansion in April 2020. As the title's biggest update at the time, the Wastelanders content for Fallout 76 proved transformative, so much so that lapsed players eagerly flocked back to the experience. Bethesda has since deployed a few other noteworthy updates, such as the Steel Reign update that concluded the Brotherhood of Steel saga last summer. Evidently, the developer has even bigger plans in place for the future of its once beleaguered multiplayer adventure.

Rust developer Double Eleven (via Push Square) recently shared a blog post noting that it's been in talks with Bethesda Game Studios since late 2020. Since then, the two entities have worked towards developing brand-new Fallout 76 content that will go live on an unspecified date later this year. Double Elven CEO Lee Hutchinson called the opportunity a "dream come true," but stopped short of detailing what players should expect from the team's efforts.

Double Eleven could be working on any number of conent releases for Fallout 76, from a full expansion to smaller in-game activities. The possibilities seem limitless. And whatever knowledge the crew brings from Rust to Fallout could very well greatly enhance the latter experience. Since the new content is slated for a late 2022 release, the wait to learn more should come to an end sooner rather than later.

Bethesda Game Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks shipped Fallout 76 in a rough state nearly four years ago; however, the title has since received drastic improvements. Many thousands of players now jump into the survival title on a regular basis, eager to see what wild adventure awaits in Appalachia. No doubt countless users will be eager to see what the Rust developer brings to the RPG later this year.
