"Not much has been done in that region in Fallout lore… So why not?": Fallout 76 is heading to Ohio for its biggest expansion in 5 years, and it's bringing Walton Goggins' The Ghoul along

Fallout 76 is releasing its largest update in five years this December with Fallout 76: Burning Springs, a chunky free update from developer Bethesda Game Studios that tasks players with exploring a new region – post-nuclear Ohio – with new characters and factions. But most importantly, Burning Springs also comes with the addition of one (1) Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, reprising his role from Amazon's Fallout TV series on Prime Video.

Alongside The Ghoul, Fallout 76: Burning Springs introduces an intelligent Super Mutant called the Rust King for players to work with in Ohio in addition to all sorts of new locations, events, challenges, and gear. There's even a "local menace," the Rad Hog, that can become a pet.
