During the Tokyo Game Show, Bethesda Game Studios took up a segment of the Xbox presentation to talk about Fallout 76. After praising the growth of the game in the region and celebrating some fantastic C.A.M.P. creations, Jon Rush, the game’s creative director, announced that pets are finally coming to the game.
This long-awaited addition means that players will soon be able to have cats and dogs around their C.A.M.P.s, doing the things that cute animals do, like lounging around and digging up holes in your backyard.
It Took Them Long Enough
Fallout 76’s players have been waiting so long to have pets in their C.A.M.P.s. For the longest time, they’ve been able to tame creatures from across the Appalachian wasteland, but it hasn’t really been a feature that has amounted to much.
During the Tokyo Game Show, Bethesda showcased a brief snippet of the pets coming to Fallout 76 soon. We saw a basket fit for a cat and a doghouse fit for… Well, a dog. In the next few moments, we saw the animals exploring, interacting with their environment, and being customised by the player.
Jon Rush said during the stream:
Speaking about the future, we’d like to confirm some exciting news. Cat and dog people rejoice – we’re excited to tell you that CAMP pets are finally coming to Fallout 76 at the end of this year.
I assume that they’ll be restricted to the C.A.M.P. setting and they won’t be joining players on their adventures across the West Virginian wasteland, but you never know – that might come next.
