New Fallout 3 DLC Announced

randal · 19 May 2009 at 17:15

In addition, a new update will be released for PS3 that will allow users to download and play the new DLC. The release date for that update will be announced at a later date.
There are also two new DLCs planned for all three platforms:

Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content.

Mothership Zeta – The aliens have returned, and they're ****ed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you're tough enough to survive.

Point Lookout will be available in late June for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Point Lookout will be available on PS3 after the first three DLCs have been released.
Mothership Zeta is scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Mothership Zeta will be available on PS3 after Point Lookout.
Finally, new Fallout 3 products will be available at retail this year.
Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 includes The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC on May 26.
The Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #2 includes Broken Steel and Point Lookout on a disc and will be available for Xbox 360 and PC in August.
Retail versions of the game add-on packs for PS3 are not possible and the DLC will only be available for download online via PlayStation Network.
A Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will be available in October. It will include the original game plus all five add-ons for $59.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and $49.99 for PC.

I reckon this spells the last of the DLC for Fallout 3, which IMO is a good thing. They need to knock the DLC on the head as it's not really taken the story any further, BS started to do this but fell short in my opinion.

That said I am looking forward to exploding a few more heads in VATS with the Terrible Shotgun.

I'll buy both like I did the other 3 DLC packs. All add something new to the Fallout 3 experience and extend it by at least another 20 hours gametime.

After these they will move on to a proper Fallout sequel I hope!!

Sounds good. Though the alien one sounds like it could be as bad as Operation Anchorage

No that's not created inhouse (external company and different game set in the fallout universe which has been in production for a while now) by Bethesda I mean the inhouse Fallout 4 which has not yet been announced but we know they are working on it as this game sold around 6M copies on all platforms so far!!
