Bethesda Outlines their 2019 Plans for Fallout 76

Fallout 76 might be a bit of a disaster, but Bethesda isn't giving up on the open world multiplayer game just yet. The company announced their 2019 roadmap today, which includes information on three major update seasons: Wild Appalachia, Nuclear Winter, and Wastelanders. Starting on March 12, 2019 Wild Appalachia will add new quests, events, crafting updates during its run. The season will end sometime in May.

As for what to expect from the Wild Appalachia updates, Bethesda offered the following details:

• New Quests: Shear Terror! – Uncover the 'encryptid' secrets of Appalachia in a new series of quests and encounters to separate monsters from myths.
• New Quests: Ever Upwards – Journey to the deepest reaches of the woods with new stories for the legendary Pioneer Scouts. Earn merit badges, climb the ranks, and earn a customizable backpack for increased utility.
• New Features: Legendary Vendor and Scrapping – Locate the mysterious Purveyor to exchange and scrap your unwanted legendary items for new legendary gear. For every star rating on a legendary item you scrap, increase your chances to get the legendary weapon or armor of your dreams.
• New Features: C.A.M.P. Decorating, Player Vending, Functional Camera – Use items from your stash to decorate your C.A.M.P. Build vending machines and flag items for sale. Simply set your prices and walk away to continue your adventures in Appalachia, being sure to capture all your favorite memories using the new functional camera. The vending machines do all the work, you just need to count the caps.
• New Features: Brewing and Distilling – Go on a new quest to discover the secrets of the forbidden brew Nukashine and bring the party back to your C.A.M.P with new brewing and distilling systems and recipes.
• New Seasonal Event: Fasnacht Parade – Chase away Old Man Winter and quicken the coming of spring with the ancient festival of Fasnacht! Join the celebration and complete this new limited-time event to earn unique rewards in the form of festive Fasnacht Masks.
• New Game Mode: Survival – This all-new game mode brings a higher-stakes PvP experience with fewer restrictions, increased rewards, and new challenges plus all the original content of Adventure Mode.

Once Wild Appalachia wraps, the Nuclear Winter update series will start in summer 2019. Details on the Nuclear Winter season are a bit more scarce than Wild Appalachia, but it just might change Fallout 76's gameplay for the better:

• New Game Mode: Nuclear Winter – An entirely new way to play Fallout 76, completely changing the rules of the Wasteland.
• New Vault Raids: Vaults 96 and 94 Opening – For our most seasoned players, test your strength in all new high-level group Vault Raids.
• New Feature: Legendary Players – An all-new prestige system will allow players above level 50 to become Legendary, resetting their characters with all new more powerful abilities.

The final content update planned for 2019 is Wastelanders which will include new quests and features. Specifics are unkown at this time.
