Skyline Valley (update)

Skyline Valley is the nineteenth major update for Fallout 76. It released on June 12, 2024.^[1] It was preceded by America's Playground as part of Expeditions: Atlantic City,^[2] and will be followed by Milepost Zero.

The update included a map expansion, introducing a new southern region known as Skyline Valley.

Features[]

• Season 17: Pioneer Scouts: Skyline Valley
• A new southward expansion of the Appalachia game world, including a new region, Skyline Valley.
• A new main quest line focused on Skyline Valley and Vault 63, including eleven new main quests.
• Two new public events: Dangerous Pastimes and Neurological Warfare, the latter of which being a new region boss for Skyline Valley.
• Two new Daily Ops locations and associated enemy groups: Fanatics at The Foundry and Overgrown at Aquarium of the Atlantic. Note, these are the only enemy types that will spawn in these locations, and these enemies will not spawn in any of the other Daily Op locations.
• New rewards for Fasnacht Day, Daily Ops and Holiday Scorched.
• The ability to read the text of notes in a separate prompt with accessible formatting, independent of the font and appearance of the note itself.

Development[]

A map expansion into Shenandoah was first teased in a letter to players from director Jonathan Rush in December 2023.^[3] Lead designer Carl McKevitt took a research trip to the real-life Skyline Drive in 2023, and teased its eventual appearance in-game on Twitter after Rush's letter was published.^[4] Skyline Valley was announced on the Duel with the Devil community calendar, revealing its name and stating that it would release alongside season 17.^[2]

The Public Test Server for the update first opened on April 18, 2024, implementing the region itself, as well as the events Dangerous Pastimes and Neurological Warfare. Story quests were added to the Public Test Server in another update on May 2, 2024. Testing concluded on June 11, 2024. Although the release of the Public Test Server was staggered, Skyline Valley launched as one complete update on the live game on June 12, 2024.^[1][5]
