Unlike previous titles of this franchise, Fallout 76 will not have traditional NPCs. Instead, the game will always be online, and every character (not counting the robot) that the player encounters will be controlled by another player who is also exploring the world just like you. However, while Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout 76 will be multiplayer only, new information indicates that the game won’t be as multiplayer as you might think.
In the latest Noclip documentary about the game, Fallout 76 project manager Jeff Gardiner said that the game’s current site supports between 24 and 32 players per server. The developer also confirmed that players can see the locations of other players on the map.
After Gardiner’s comment, a Fallout 76 fan on Reddit quickly calculated how often players meet in the game. If Fallout 76 map is 4 times larger than Fallout 4 and Fallout 4 has an area of approximately 87km², that means Fallout 76 map will be 350km² wide. According to this calculation, if you play Fortnite (100 players in the map) you are 56 times more likely to encounter another player than in Fallout 76. However, this calculation does not take into account that the Fortnite map gradually gets smaller as the match progresses. continue to go on.
But on the other hand, Fallout fans hoping to make more friends will be disappointed to learn that the server size isn’t that big. As Todd Howard of Bethesda said that the game has no NPCs, fans thought the game would be as big as an MMO. But that doesn’t mean the game will lose its essence, let’s wait and see what Bethesda will do to keep Fallout fans.
Fallout 76 will launch on November 14, 2018 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
