Fallout 76 Season 24 Brings Retro Alien Invasions and Cryptids
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fallout 76 is launching Season 24, Rip Daring and the Cryptids from Beyond the Cosmos, on March 3, bringing retro alien invasion themes, new CAMP weather stations, and themed battle pass rewards.
Fallout 76 is leaving behind the rough edges of its current season and leaning hard into B-movie sci-fi. According to a recent reveal by Bethesda Softworks and reported by Polygon, the upcoming Season 24 is titled Rip Daring and the Cryptids from Beyond the Cosmos. The new season kicks off on March 3 alongside Update 66, bringing a full-scale UFO invasion aesthetic to the Wasteland. Fans of the fictional in-world hero Rip Daring, who first appeared back in Season 11, will find plenty of gear tailored to retro government conspiracies and vintage alien flicks.
The seasonal battle pass tracks are packed with rewards split between free tiers and the premium Fallout 1st subscription. Standout cosmetic and CAMP items include a Pip-Boy display stand, a Starlight Drive-In marquee, a bloody space suit, and a healing arch. For players who love customizing their home bases, the real highlight is the new Alien Invasion weather control station. This subscriber reward casts a perpetual UFO-invaded glow over your entire CAMP, replacing previous weather effects like the hazy Mothman purple with pure flying saucer chaos.
Live service games thrive when they embrace their weirdest creative impulses, and this update hits that exact tone. While seasonal grinds and battle passes are standard mechanics across modern multiplayer titles, themed drops that genuinely shake up visual styles and player expression always land well with the community. If you are looking to deck out your character in vintage space gear and turn your homestead into a sci-fi warzone, the countdown to March 3 is officially on.
