As we wait for potential news on remasters of Fallout 3, 4 or New Vegas, Fallout 76 is absorbing some fanfare on the back of Amazon's Fallout TV show. It's a good thing Bethesda's put a lot of energy into improving the RPG over the years – and according to the lead devs, more depth is on the way.

"We have had a couple of successful literal expansions of the map, you know, making the play space bigger," Jon Rush, creative director on Fallout 76, told PCGamesN. "For this next year, I really want our gaze to shift from the outskirts to inwards - make the game thicker."
