Bethesda has announced that it will begin rolling out downloadable content for the critically acclaimed Fallout 4 in March 2016.
The first DLC pack will be known as Automatron and will retail for £7.99. Bethesda’s also provided a detailed description of what to expect, and we’ve included it below.
“The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices!”
Next up is Wasteland Workshop, which launches in April 2016 and will set you back just £3.99.
“With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!”
Far Harbor will follow in May 2016 and is the most expensive of the initial DLC landslide, retailing for £19.99.
“A new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we’ve ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.”
That’s not all though, as the company is also promising more content throughout 2016—£45 worth of extra content, to be exact. As a result of the content plans however, the price of the Season Pass for Fallout 4 will rise from £24.99 to £39.99 on March 1, 2016. Those of you who already purchased it won’t have to worry about the price hike, though.
In addition, Bethesda confirmed plans to run beta testing for each DLC pack for consoles and PC. Those of you who are interesting in getting your hands on the new content early simpy have to sign-up to Bethesda.net and make an account, with the studio picking applicants in the coming weeks. You’ll then receive a code to redeem the content if you’re chosen for the beta.
