The amazing Fallout 76 isn't slowing down anytime soon, as Bethesda has announced today that it's getting its largest update since 2020 this December in the form of something called "Burning Springs".
Burning Springs is a free update that'll allow players to "explore post-nuclear Ohio, meet new characters and factions, and take on all-new Bounty Hunting missions" - with those missions being hosted by Walton Goggins who plays The Ghoul in the Amazon Prime Fallout TV series.
The map will require you to "journey across a war-torn desert landscape", and here's a bit more about it:
"Fallout 76’s largest update since 2020, Burning Springs introduces players to an arid and charred region of post-nuclear Ohio, complete with new factions, challenges, unique weapons and gear, and even new fish to catch. This map includes new characters like the Rust King, an intelligent Super Mutant who players will need to work with across Burning Springs, as well as locations, public events, workshops, and even a wild local menace called the Rad Hog, which can become a C.A.M.P. Pet for those brave enough to tame it. This update features something for every type of player, from new mechanics for seasoned survivors, easier entry points for fresh-faced newcomers, and exciting events for all."
As for those Bounty Hunting missions, it's said that they'll be located all throughout Burning Springs and constantly be rolling in, and you'll be able to accept them by checking in with The Ghoul in Highway Town.
There's no definitive release date for Fallout 76's free Burning Springs update just yet, but we know it's definitely landing at some point in December 2025 for all platforms including Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
