Steel Reign

Steel Reign is the eighth major update for Fallout 76. It features the conclusion to the Brotherhood of Steel storyline introduced in Steel Dawn, as well as a system of crafting legendary items and the introduction of legendary power armor. It follows Locked & Loaded and was followed by Fallout Worlds.

To prepare for the arrival of Steel Reign, The Coming Storm community event began shortly before its launch.

Plot
Directly following the events of Steel Dawn, tensions between Paladin Rahmani and Knight Shin have reached their limits. Super mutants have also begun kidnapping swaths of people in Appalachia and the leadership of the Brotherhood is split on how to address the issue and stop more people from going missing.

Behind the scenes
The Steel Reign reveal trailer appears to have a throwback gag to the Steel Dawn reveal trailer. In the Steel Dawn trailer, a power armor user falls out of the sky. It occurs again in the Steel Reign trailer where a power armor user falls from the sky during a conversation between Shin and Rahmani. They also both occur in the middle of both trailers.
