Pets are coming to Fallout 76, Bethesda has said.

Project lead Jeff Gardiner and lead designer Ferret Baudoin held a Reddit AMA yesterday, and in it revealed some new features coming to the post-apocalyptic MMO.

“Edible ones?” Gardiner joked when asked if pets were coming to the game. “I kid. Now that we have our companions system in the game, we are looking to add pets as well.”

The recent Wastelanders update added a raft of companions to the game, some of whom can be romanced. And the Fallout series has a history of pets as companions, with Dogmeat being a particular favourite. I expect dogs will be top of the list when pets arrive in Fallout 76.
