They're coming back... and they are pissed.
Bethesda, developers of the best damn game of 2008, Fallout 3, today announced that their up to now PC/Xbox360 exclusive downloadable content will be making it’s way to Playstation 3 owners beginning with Operation: Anchorage this June. The Pitt and Broken Steel will follow 4-6 weeks apart.
That’s not all. Two new pieces of DLC were also announced, debuting first on Microsoft’s console, and following shortly after Broken Steel on the PSN:
Point Lookout: An all new region of swampland, described by Todd Howard of Bethesda as “huge!” Details are sketchy at this point, but the size of the region is supposed to be pretty substantial, and will feature a main questline and several side quests. Howard elaborated in an interview with IGN, stating that the area is based on Point Lookout State Park in Maryland, and states: “picture backwoods Maryland, where the bombs didn’t actually fall, but the world has left it behind.”
Mothership Zeta: Those who were lucky enough to stumble across the Alien distress beacon in Fallout 3 will get to witness the response in Mothership Zeta. This one promies to be a retro alien-abduction story drenched in 50′s pastiche, but with that biting edge typical of the Fallout franchise. Howard promises a pretty stark change of scenery with this one, as the Fallout 3 team has had to generate a lot of new artwork and assets.
But wait… theres MORE…
PC and Xbox360 owners will be able to purchase the add-ons on physical media starting the end of this month! The first disc, containing Operation: Anchroage and The Pitt will go on sale on May 26th. The second will come in August, and will contain Broken Steel and Point Lookout.
PS3 owners will get their shot at a collection of all of the addpons in October when the Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition drops for the PS3, 360, and PC, including all 5 add-on packs.
Howard claims this is it for now, as if it weren’t enough, but he doesn’t say no to more possible add-ons in the near future.
