Fallout 4 comes from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, who describe it as their most ambitious game yet and the next generation of open-world gaming. You play the sole survivor of Vault 111, emerging into a world ravaged by nuclear war where every second is a fight for survival and every choice is yours. Only you can rebuild and decide the fate of the Wasteland.
Freedom sits at the core of the experience. A massive open world holds hundreds of locations, characters, and quests, and you can join factions competing for power or strike out on your own. The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. character system lets you become whoever you want, whether a Power Armored soldier or a charismatic smooth talker, with hundreds of Perks to shape your personal playstyle.
The presentation and combat received major upgrades too. A next-generation graphics and lighting engine brings the world to life, from the forests of the Commonwealth to the ruins of Boston, each packed with dynamic detail. Combat plays out in first or third person and can be slowed with the dynamic V.A.T.S. targeting system for cinematic carnage, while robust collecting and building let you upgrade and craft thousands of items. As an expansive RPG, Fallout 4 offers survival, choice, and creativity across its post-apocalyptic world on PC.
