Fallout 76 2021 Roadmap Outlined

Spring will bring players new C.A.M.P. slots and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. loadouts, summer is scheduled to include new storylines as part of the Brotherhood of Steel narrative, fall will bring us “the next evolution” of private servers, and winter will bring us Tales from the Stars, which will feature new seasonal events and daily ops “surprises.” Check out more by clicking on the link below.

Rainbow Six Parasite Gameplay Leaked, Ubisoft Responds
Rainbow Six Quarantine is being renamed, with Rainbow Six Parasite apparently being a tentative title, and over an hour of its gameplay leaked online. In fact, Ubisoft acknowledged the leaked footage, telling Eurogamer, “We can confirm this is a glimpse of our upcoming Rainbow Six game. Recently, we ran an internal test for the game and unfortunately some of the details became public. This clip is a work-in-progress gameplay footage. We’ll share more details about the game later this year.”
You’ll notice the developer did not mention the game by the Parasite moniker, meaning it could be called something entirely different. We’ll find out more about it later this year.
