Fallout 76 players are currently diving deep and enjoying the Gleaming Depths. The raid, designed for the highest-level and experienced wasteland adventurers, is an MMO-style dungeon challenge that teams up to 4 players to take on some intense encounters in the Enclave Research Lab.
But that’s not all Bethesda has planned. The future of Fallout 76 is about to get… ghoulish. March 2025 will see the long-awaited update that lets players experience the game through the irradiated eyes of a Ghoul. I’m calling it the 'Ghoulification of Appalachia', and after getting hands-on with this update during a special preview at Bethesda headquarters, I can confidently say it will shake up the wasteland in all the right ways.
Playing as a Ghoul is every bit as fun as it sounds. From unique abilities to surprising interactions with the world and its inhabitants, the update adds an entirely new dimension to Fallout 76’s gameplay. In fact, I’d be surprised if there are any smoothskins left wandering Appalachia after this update rolls out. Like Diablo 4 being overrun with the new Spiritborn class, it will be Season of the Ghoul in Fallout 76 in the spring.
So, without further ado, let’s dig into everything I learned about how to be cool as a Ghoul.
