Not only was the teaser posted on Instagram and Twitter, but Bethesda also went live on Twitch playing "IRL". Initially, the livestream seemed similarly devoid of any clues, but a Reddit user, PM_ME_CODES_4_STEAM, logged all of the little events that occurred, posting clips of each one.

Bethesda finally put us out of our misery by releasing a teaser trailer for Fallout 76.

The date seen on the Pip-Boy in the trailer, 27 October 2102, seems to suggest the game might be a prequel, as other entries in the Fallout series all take place much later.
​
The music played over the trailer - Take Me Home, Country Roads - could also suggest a Virginia setting for the game.

According to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, Fallout 76 could feature some sort of online functionality.​

From what I've heard, Fallout: 76 is an online game of some sort. Developed by BGS in both Maryland and Austin (formerly Battlecry) https://t.co/gUmNYtDXDS

Recently, Bethesda's Pete Hines teased that this could be the team's biggest E3 showcase to date, so it's definitely one to watch.
