- ↑ Fallout 76 season 16 community calendar (March - June 2024)
- ↑ Fallout 76 November 2023 developer AMA:
Flakles: "I'm sure you guys must see players in the community constantly asking if we can get a more open world, traditional fallout DLC experience from expeditions, something like Far Harbor being the constantly echoed request. And I'm sure you guys must've at least experimented with it already - My question is, what sort of things would hold a choice like that back?
Maybe definitively providing a 'why not' will put the matter to rest among the community."
Joshua Moretto: "Hi, Flakles. While we continue to expand the places players can visit outside our map, the focus of Fallout 76 is and remains Appalachia. That said, players will be able to visit Atlantic City for traditional story quests and exploration outside of Expeditions in Patch 50."
