Bunker-dwellers have something to celebrate later in the week, as Bethesda is promising a dedicated broadcast event to clue us into its plans forFallout 76.

“Fallout Day is coming on October 23,where we will be hosting our first ever #FalloutDay Broadcast,” the developer shared on itsTwitterpage. “Join Jon Rush and Bill LaCoste as they give you a glimpse at what we’ve been working on in Fallout 76.” The Tweet goes on to link out to@FalloutforHope, a charity initiative championing a Community Parade as part of this year’s Fallout Day, while a promotional Tweet from the offical FalloutTwitteraccount promises “developer interviews” and more.

For those not yet in the know, Fallout Day is an annual “holiday” commemorating the start of the Great War in Bethesda’s Fallout universe. Not dissimilar toBioWare’s N7 Day for Mass Effect fans, or The Last of Us' Outbreak Day, Fallout Day gives franchise superfans space to talk about their favorite game with fellow die-hards – only now, it seems we’ll be getting brand new information on the future of Fallout 76 as Bethesda steps up to take part for the first time, too.

You’ll be able to play as a ghoul in Fallout 76 early next year and channel your inner Walton Goggins from the Fallout TV show.
