Fallout 76 is a hotly anticipated game that's set to release on November 14. Like other games in the Fallout series, Fallout 76 takes place in a post-nuclear apocalypse. This time that wasteland is future West Virginia.

The West Virginia government is excited about their state's inclusion in the game. Governor Justice said in the press release that "It's finally time the rest of the world sees what a gem West Virginia is," adding, "For years, I've been saying we have it all: beautiful scenery, the best people you could ask for and more. And now, we get to share a piece of that with people all over the world through the unique lens of this video game."
