Fallout 76 Atlantic City DLC Release Date Speculation

During the Xbox Extended Showcase, an updated release window for the Atlantic City expansion in Fallout 76 was revealed.

Based on the timing of the announcement, it is likely to be early next year, possibly the beginning of 2024.

The exact scale of the expansion is uncertain, but it is expected to be similar in scope to the Fallout 76: The Pitt Expedition update.

Fallout 76 Atlantic City DLC - Content and Features

For those who are not familiar, Expeditions in Fallout 76 are story-based missions that are randomized and can be repeated. According to Bethesda, these missions are usually as extensive as the end-of-line quests. The Pitt was the first Expedition added into the game, and transported players to a post-nuclear Pittsburgh, away from Appalachia.

The brief trailer for the upcoming Fallout Expedition reveals limited information, but there are some intriguing details related to the lore of Atlantic City in the Fallout universe. According to the story, Atlantic City is currently controlled by The Five Families, a raider group competing for dominance over the area. This narrative element may potentially be explored further in The Expedition when it is released. 

In terms of backstory, Atlantic City presents a more captivating premise compared to The Pitt, which was a revisited location from a Fallout 3 DLC. Unlike The Pitt, Atlantic City has not been featured in any previous Fallout game. While the trailer did not provide extensive insights into the city itself, it appears that players will be able to access the area through an Expedition similar to The Pitt. Despite the post-apocalyptic setting, Atlantic City still retains its gambling elements, and there is even a rebuilt aquarium. 

So there you have it, everything you need to know about the upcoming expansion for Fallout 76, the Atlantic City Expedition DLC.
