As seen in the tweet below, Bethesda will put the Fallout 76 cover of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” on iTunes starting on July 4, 2018, with every single purchase of the song going to funding the efforts of Habitat for Humanity. For those unaware, Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit that focuses on producing affordable housing for all 50 states within the United States, as well as within other countries.
Surely, many will see Bethesda’s decision to provide a donation of 100% of its proceeds for the “Take Me Home, Country Roads” cover to Habitat for Humanity as a great way for the publisher and developer to help out, and it might even cause some to pledge money of their own to the nonprofit. What’s more is that it will definitely raise an additional amount of visibility for Fallout 76 as the weeks move closer to its release date.
While Fallout 76’s version of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is a solid cover, it makes one wonder whether or not Bethesda will add any more songs from the 70s that attempt to evoke the Appalachian spirit of West Virginia. Previous entries in the post-apocalyptic RPG franchise have seen the studio provide a decent, if not slight soundtrack of classic tunes that reflect the game’s tone, but we will simply have to wait and see if Bethesda will stock players’ Pip-Boys with a radio station that has a steady stream of music reminiscent of the era.
Fallout 76 is currently scheduled to launch on November 14, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
