Bethesda’s annual convention; QuakeCon is just a few weeks away. In a recent tweet, the company confirmed some of their headline presentations. The studio mentioned Rage 2 and Doom Eternal’s gameplay reveal. However, they also stated that there would be a “deeper dive” Fallout 76 QuakeCon presentation.
The Fallout 76 QuakeCon Presentation

Fans can watch the panel on Saturday the 11th of August. It will begin at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. Todd Howard and other Bethesda developers will comprise the event’s panel, and will be discussing the upcoming post-apocalyptic title. Bethesda described the event as; “a deeper dive into the character system and Perks coming in Fallout 76”. Although Bethesda has already given fans a glimpse of the new Perk Card system in Fallout 76, a full explanation has yet to be provided. The panel, and its subsequent Q&A session will be live-streamed on Bethesda’s Twitch and Mixer channels.
Although any information given by Bethesda about the Perk Card system is likely to be interesting, it may be a lesser priority issue for most fans. Indeed, it seems likely that the Q&A session will be dominated by questions about the game’s multiplayer functionality. Since the announcement that the game would feature multiplayer, that has become the predominant issue for fans. Fans have plenty of questions about how multiplayer works in Fallout 76; thus far, Bethesda has only shown brief glimpses of multiplayer gameplay. Fans’ first experience with the Fallout 76 multiplayer is likely to be with the public beta in October. However, it’s unknown whether Bethesda plans to release any gameplay trailers or additional information prior to that; aimed at addressing fans’ concerns over the inclusion of multiplayer in one of Bethesda’s core RPG titles.
