Summary
2025 is shaping up to be a good year forFallout 76fans. Bethesda has been busy rolling out updates to keep things interesting for new and veteran players. The recent release of theGleaming Depths updatehas introduced a whole new game mode that is specifically aimed at high-level players.
As for this year, Bethesda plans to introduce a handful of new features, with one of the most highly anticipated ones being the release of a playable Ghoul character. While things are subject to change, Bethesda has announced a few things that will be coming/returning to the game in 2025.
1Murmrgh’s Special Pick
Risk Some Scrip For The Chance At Something Great
Due to all the changes around legendary items, it’s strange to see that Murmrgh is still offering her special pick to players. That said, players who enjoy testing their luck might want tostop by the Rusty Pickand grab a few boxes in the hopes of netting something top-tier.
There will be two helpings of this event in the first quarter of this year, soplayers will have plenty of time to save up enough Scrip to invest in some of Murmrgh’s legendary goods. The dates mentioned above aren’t the only times she’ll be offering her special pick to players. They are just the only dates that have been confirmed by Bethesda.
2Invaders From Beyond
Fight The Zetans Again
Invaders From Beyond is set to return twice in 2025. Players should be able to take on the Zetans at some point in April and then again during September. This event takes place at the top of every hour, and there are a few locations where this event can take place.
This is one of the more challenging seasonal events as it requires players to take down several waves of alien invaders pretty quickly. That said, the rewards are usually more than worth it, especially if Bethesda introduces a handful of new items to the loot pool for 2025.
3Meat Week
Help Grahm During His Cook-Out
Grahm is a familiar face for many players. He spends most of his time wandering around the wasteland with Chally The Moo Moo, selling his wares to passing players. However, for a few weeks each year,Grahm takes time out of his busy schedule to host a cookout.
This is one of the more comedic limited-time events inFallout 76as it involves players helping a friendly Super Mutant cook up some delicious treats. Players will need to scoop up stinky piles, harvest plants, and deposit Prime Meats to make Grahm’s cookout a success.
4Fishing In Fallout
A New Way To Make Food
A post released late last year onBethesda’s official websitetalks abouta new fishing feature that will be coming toFallout 76in 2025. While not much is known about how it will work, it looks like there will be new food items and recipes for players to make and unlock.
A new merchant will be introduced to the game. It will be through this merchant that players will be able to purchase all the items they’ll need in order to start fishing.
5Mischief Night Returns, Again
Earn New Rewards With Mischief Night
Mischief Night is a limited-time event that was in the game for a short period. Unfortunately, due to bugs and other issues, this special Halloween event was removed. It was supposed to come back in 2024, but there were issues surrounding its release.
However,the developers are planning to bring Mischief Night back for 2025. Players can expect to earn a plethora of new rewards for taking part in this event. Toquote the article on Bethesda’s website: “Mischief Night also offers a huge assortment of rewards for your characters and your C.A.M.P.s.”
6Become A Ghoul
A Highly Anticipated Feature
Since Bethesda announced they were working on a playable Ghoul character, fans have been eagerly awaiting its release. While not allFallout 76fans are interested in living life as a Ghoul, the overwhelming majority seem to be quite excited.
Fortunately, players won’t need to start a new character to play as a Ghoul.This feature will work for both new and existing characters. It will also be reversible, so players with high-level characters won’t need to worry about permanently committing to living life as a Ghoul. This update will also bring in a new storyline, new locations, new perk cards, and more.
7The Big Bloom
A One-Time Challenge With Some Unique Rewards
Every year, Bethesda usually releases a one-time event that spans over two weeks. This year is no different. While the rewards are yet to be confirmed, since the name of the event is The Big Bloom, players can expect to receive rewards that are centered around plantlife.
These events are usually split into two main challenges,with half of the challenges being released on the first week and the rest of them coming out on the second week. That said, things are subject to change.
8The Fasnacht Event Returns
One Of The Most Popular Seasonal Events In Fallout 76
The Fasnacht eventis one of the most popular events in the game. Players grind this event in the hopes of getting their hands on a couple of hyper-rare Fasnacht masks.This event will run for two weeks, meaning there is plenty of time for players to hop on and join in the festivities.
According to a handful of dataminers, there are going to be a few new masks coming to the game for this year’s Fasnacht event. While nothing has been confirmed by Bethesda, there are usually new masks released each year.
