E3 2019: Fallout 76 Has A Battle Royale Mode Called "Nuclear Winter," And It Starts Today

Fallout 76 is the latest game to jump on the battle royale train. During Bethesda's E3 2019 briefing, the company announced Nuclear Winter, a free, 52-player battle royale mode for the online RPG--and you'll be able to try it out for yourself this week.

"F**k yeah we put a battle royale in Fallout 76," co-studio director Tom Mustain said during the press conference. Nuclear Winter will be available through a "sneak peek" event happening June 10-17. That is also when Fallout 76 will have a free trial available.

Fallout 76's Nuclear Winter is a 52-player battle royale mode in which players will battle until only one remains standing. In true Fallout fashion, it'll also feature nukes. You can check out a dev diary for Fallout 76's Nuclear Winter mode in the video below.
