As Bethesda continues to expand Fallout 76, the denizens of Appalachia have been able to explore every nook and corner of this post-apocalyptic corner of West Virginia. However, previous games have shown just how vast the irradiated world of Fallout is and various factions fighting for control in their corners of the world. Bethesda will take players to one of these corners with its first expedition update, but not to Washington DC like the original leaks teased, instead sending brave Wastelanders to The Pitt.

Bethesda unveiled its Fallout 76 update during the Xbox and Bethesda Games E3 2021 Showcase. While light on details, the expansion will take Wastelanders to the irradiated ruins of Pittsburgh, known simply as The Pitt. Players will get to explore The Pitt in repeatable, story-driven missions, which Bethesda says will be the driving focus behind expeditions updates.

As Fallout 76 is set 25 years after the war that left the U.S. an irradiated wasteland, The Pitt may not be the one longtime Fallout fans remember visiting in Fallout 3. Bethesda teased as much in its E3 trailer, showing a Pittsburgh still largely in ruin in the wake of the nuclear war. It's a far cry from what fans may remember from the Fallout 3 DLC and instead may give players a glimpse at the first steps taken to rebuild the city into what it would become.

Fallout 76 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Expeditions: The Pitt is currently scheduled for a 2022 release.
