Bethesda Details The First Set Of ‘Fallout 4’ DLC!
Briefly: I’m not nearly as far into Fallout 4 as I’d wanted to be at this point (being an adult stinks), and I’m not even close to being ready to play any DLC for the beloved title.
Bethesda has just announced the very first details for some of the game’s upcoming DLC on its official blog, and after reading what we’re in store for, I need to make my time in Boston more of a priority.
The company notes that fans have made Fallout 4 their ‘most successful title ever’ before going on to detail the game’s first set of add-ons: Automatron, Wasteland Workshop and Far Harbor.
First up is Automatron, which is slated to release this March:
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!
Automatron will cost a cool $9.99US.
April will see the release of the Wasteland Workshop, and it sounds freaking addicting already:
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 nixie tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!
Wasteland Workshop will cost just $4.99 US.
Finally, May will see the release of a big one: Far Harbor.
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.
Far Harbor will net you $24.99 US.
These look gorgeous right down to that amazing cover art.
Planning on picking up any of this DLC? You’ll probably want to pick up the Season Pass ASAP, as Bethesda has expanded DLC plans for the title, and will be raising the pricing off the pass from $30 to $50US on March 1st. Here are the official details:
And more important, that this is only the beginning. We have plans for more. More than $60 worth of new Fallout adventures and features throughout 2016.
Given the expanded DLC plan, the price of the season pass will increase from the current $29.99 to $49.99 USD (£24.99 to £39.99 GBP; $49.95 to $79.95 AUD) on March 1, 2016. However, if you already purchased the season pass for $29.99, nothing changes – you still get everything at no additional cost— the full $60 offering of add-on content for the original price of $29.99. In addition, if you didn’t buy the season pass yet, there is still time: anyone who buys the Season Pass for $29.99 before March 1st will get all $60 worth of content. This is our way of saying thanks to all our loyal fans who have believed in us and supported us over the years.
That leaves you two weeks to get the Season Pass at the current rate.
