World Pets launches Tuesday, December 1. Bethesda confirmed the day three weeks after its broader roadmap placed the companion update in December without a date.

Dogs, cats, radhogs and deathclaws can now travel beyond the player's camp. Owners choose a name and look, then issue attack, defense or follow orders. Perks tied to a build become available as the companion develops.

According to Massively Overpowered, species have equal combat power but different passive effects. Further progression increases carry weight and opens collars, bandanas and armor.

Skyline Valley receives revised lighting and terrain. A board provides bounty missions, while the next season adds Vault-Tec cosmetics and more items for camps and companions.

Bethesda also thanked the 25 million people who have entered Vault 76 since release.

An update reminder is available on the game page.
