Two new Fallout 3 DLCs coming this summer

Two new Fallout 3 DLCs coming this summer

Bethesda released a bunch of information on future DLC plans for Fallout 3, today.

First up, two new (and perhaps final) DLC packs are coming for the popular wasteland RPG. The first is called Point Lookout, and is coming in late June for the PC and Xbox 360 versions. So far, this is all Bethesda is saying on the matter: "Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content."

The second DLC is called Mothership Zeta, and it is coming sometime in July (PC, Xbox 360). The focus of this DLC is on aliens, of all things. It appears that you will be actually on a alien spacecraft, experiencing "an alien abduction first hand." Interesting!

The next bit of Fallout 3 DLC news is on the PS3 situation. Apparently it was not as easy to bring the DLC to the PS3, but Bethesda has now worked it out. They will be releasing an update/patch for Fallout 3 PS3 that will enable use of the DLC, starting with Operation: Anchorage in late June, then The Pitt and Broken Steel next, after about 4-6 weeks between releases.

And that's not all -- a Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack #1 will be released in the first half of June in retail stores, and will include The Pitt and Operation Anchorage on DVD. Game Add-on Pack #2 will follow with Broken Steel and The Pitt. It seems however that these two products will only be available in Europe however, and only for the Xbox 360 and PC.

And finally -- as you probably guessed it would -- Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition will be coming for October. It will pair the original game with 5 DLC packs, and will no doubt be a big seller for Bethesda.
