October 23rd is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing – a Fallout version of May Fourth. It’s the anniversary of the fateful day in 2077 when the world of the franchise was atomically transformed, and for the first time, Bethesda is marking the occasion with a broadcast featuring both developers and community members.
While this date has long been a time for Fallout fans to post cool content and do some “wink, wink, nudge, nudge, have you checked your calendar?” It makes sense that Fallout would have an even bigger impact this year, considering how much of its image it boosted after the TV show aired.

“Fallout Day is coming up on October 23rd, and we’ll be hosting our first ever #FalloutDay broadcast,” Bethesda said in its celebration announcement. The event looks to be live on Bethesda’s official YouTube and Twitch channels out, with the original developers working on it. Portions of the show will also be released on Facebook and Steam.
“Join Jon Rush and Bill Lacoste as you get a glimpse of the work we’re working on on Fallout 76,” Bethesda continued. “Parties will continue to be hosted with our friends at Fallout for Hope Community Parade. See you soon!”

In another tweet, the studio confirmed that in addition to October 23rd 8pm BST / 3pm EST / 12pm PSTit will be doing a lot of things in 76 to celebrate the day – and Halloween it seems – with in-game events like Ghost Burn and Trick-or-Treating taking place from October 22 to November 5 Various points dropped by Twitch, some double XP, and an anniversary camp competition in November.
It’s great to see FalloutforHope being a part of some official celebrations, FalloutforHope is a community-run charity that has previously hosted events around modding and more, and founder Ken Vigue shared exactly what this means to him in a great tweet and what it means to his team.
