Bethesda Releases New Hotfix Update for Fallout 76
Bethesda, the world-renowned game development studio behind the Fallout franchise, rolled out a new hotfix patch for the multiplayer action role-playing game Fallout 76. This release came just days after the previous Fallout 76 update and is aimed at rectifying some significant issues to enhance the gaming experience.

The update tasked players with aiding Mayor Timothy Lane in dealing with an invasion of Overgrown in post-apocalyptic New Jersey. Furthermore, a new questline involving the Russo Family was included, immersing players in a «deadly plot» across various missions. Significant changes were made to Fallout 76's Seasons system, with Scoreboards being replaced by a new Seasons menu.
