Nothing yet, but I will be absolutely shocked if Bethesda doesn't announce the release date during their press conference that starts here in 30 minutes. I've seen leak images supposedly showing a release date of July 31st, 2018.

Here's the image that has been floating around for a week or so. It's also the exact same date Amazon accidentally had listed at first before changing it to a generic December 31st, 2019 release date. So I will not be the least bit surprised if they announce it for release in a month and a half.

Also would be smart on their part, get some separation from the loaded release schedule in October and November, which can do nothing but help sales since they won't be directly competing with Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty, Battlefield V and others.

Wait, 2018? July as in, next month?

Yep! No granted, there's a much more realistic possibility that it won't be released until November 2018, much like how Fallout 4 played out, announced at E3 in June 2015 and released November 10, 2015. But it wouldn't be the first time Bethesda has released a game shortly after announcing it.

If I had to guess, I'm putting my money on either July 31st, November 6th or November 13th, 2018 for the release date for Fallout 76.

I'm rooting for a July surprise, because I hate how many games just drop in the late fall that I can't ever play due to time.

Entirely online...eff off. I'm done. Ruined.

November 14, 2018. Release date.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised they're releasing on November 14th, being that it's a Wednesday. Tuesday is the release day for 90% of games with the other 10% being released on Fridays usually. Wednesday seems like a very odd choice.
