The Gleaming Depths Release Notes

Fallout 76's Gleaming Depths are meant to be "challenging," so don't go in alone

After much waiting and several weeks on the public test server, the Fallout 76 Gleaming Depths raid is finally upon us. The challenging endgame dungeon winds through the depths of an abandoned Enclave research lab, and is home to numerous difficult encounters and boss fights that require careful teamwork to overcome. Ahead of its release, I sat down with Fallout 76 lead producer Bill LaCoste to discuss the mode, which also sets a new record for the series.

We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you how far we’ve come since Fallout 76 launched in 2018 and just how S.P.E.C.I.A.L. you all are. Our key focus over these six years has been to build up this amazing community and to evolve our game to continuously meet their needs through more than 50 free updates. Along the way, our game has grown – and so has our community of players. Since launch we’ve welcomed over 21 million Vault-dwellers to Appalachia!

At Bethesda Game Studios, we are passionate about bringing you the best experience. We read all the feedback that you send us from Reddit to Discord. In addition, we invite you to try out new content regularly ahead of updates in the Player Test Server so you can provide actionable feedback.

We continue to make tweaks to game systems, through updates such as player loadouts--introduced in the Locked & Loaded update--introducing a level 20 start for new players, and the introduction of the Legendary Crafting system in Milepost Zero.

On December 3, we’re bringing you Gleaming Depths, which will introduce a new raid, C.A.M.P. pets, Four-Star Legendaries, and Player Titles and other improvements. We could not be more excited for you to get your hands on it.

Throughout these six years, the community has always been at the forefront of our mind when implementing changes and introducing new content. We cannot thank you enough for your contributions and support! We look forward to how the Fallout 76 community will contribute to the game in the years to come.

Fallout 76 unveils packed roadmap up to March's playable ghouls update

Fallout 76 is in a fantastic spot these days. It's tough to define it as the best RPG in the long-running series, between the narrative chops of New Vegas, the vast breadth of Fallout 4, and the mechanical spectacle of the original Interplay games. But put aside the more serious undertones and it might be the most fun Fallout game - and almost certainly my favorite. Having come a long, long way since its rocky launch, Bethesda now unveils its next chapter in full, and we're in for quite possibly the most exciting new season we've ever seen.

Season 19 and Gleaming Depths coming December 3, 2024!

Season 19: The Scientific Forge begins December 3, releasing alongside the Gleaming Depths update.

The Scientific Forge is themed around the para-military organization the Enclave, once known as a deep-state faction of the United States government, comprised mostly of our favorite artificially intelligent supercomputer, M.O.D.U.S. The Enclave’s mission? The revitalization of America through the power of science!
