Fallout 76 fishing update gets a release date, and it's just around the corner

Fishing is a truly beautiful pastime. The ripples on the water, the hypnotic bobbing of your float, and the sounds of nature around you all bring your heart rate down - only for a bite to get your pulse racing once again. It’s also become one of those must-have mechanics in the videogame world. It’s so popular, it’s almost an expectation these days that triple-A RPGs and MMOs should have some kind of fishing minigame. Recognizing this, Fallout 76 is finally casting its line out into the irradiated waters of the wasteland. Gone Fission, the update that will bring Fallout 76 fishing to players after more than six years of waiting, is just around the corner.
