Fallout 76 is going to be incredibly important for Bethesda's future if the probable development timeline for Fallout 5 holds up. The Fallout series is one of Bethesda's biggest properties, alongside The Elder Scrolls, so the bar for Fallout 76 to impress is already high based on that alone. The game's place in the series could grow even more important in the near future. Fallout 5 is a title that has been subject to many rumors, and that will likely continue until its actual release. However, it is Fallout 76 that is currently positioned to make the most impact.
