The Ghoul from Amazon’s Fallout TV series is set to appear in the new region coming to Fallout 76, as played by Walton Goggins.
Burning Springs will be the largest (and free!) update to the MMORPG since 2020, and will include all-new Bounty Hunting missions hosted by The Ghoul and voiced by Goggins.
Goggins’ character proved popular in the TV series, as one of three lead characters alongside Ella Purnell’s vault dweller Lucy and Aaron Moten’s Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus.
The Burning Springs update adds an arid and charred region to post-nuclear Ohio, and will include new factions, challenges, and unique weapons, gear, and fish, alongside those Bounty Hunting missions.
There’s also an intelligent Super Mutant called the Rust King, as well as a “wild local menace” called the Rad Hog you can tame and keep as a pet.
The Ghoul will be located at The Last Resort in Highway Town, but won’t be a playable character or companion.

Still, it’s a nice nod to the TV series in the main game series. It proved especially popular, watched by 65 million people in its first two weeks.
Besides contributing to a bump in popularity for the games too, a third season of Fallout has already been announced before the second has even been released.
