Now we know what the next update will be, thanks to a teaser from Bethesda. The Brotherhood of Steel are returning in Fallout 76’s “Steel Dawn” update, a free update that will add a ton of new content to the slowly-maturing game. There’s even a nice new teaser trailer for it.

Steel Dawn will add a new questline for the Brotherhood of Steel, new settlements and NPC’s, powerful gear and weapons, and more. It’s also a completely free update for all players, and will be dropping later this year, sometime in December. There’s not much more we know about the update right now, but we’re certain to learn more as we head closer to launch.
