'Fallout 4' DLC release date, rumors: Bethesda reveals the launch date and market region price for the three upcoming DLCs
The release date for the much awaited downloadable contents for Bethesda's critically acclaimed open-world game, "Fallout 4," was revealed through the company's blog post late last month.
According to the game developer, starting March 2016, players of "Fallout 4" will receive a monthly installment of DLCs for the IP. The first one that is set to come out is the robot hunting and building expansion, "Automatron," which will be sold for $9.99 for the United States market, £7.99 in U.K., and $14.95 for the Australian region.
"The first one 'Automatron' has a little quest line and this 'Pokémon'-esque 'kill robots, get their parts, build your own' [gameplay]," Bethesda's game director, Todd Howard, said regarding the minor details of the first DLC. "The robot building is really deep. It's great."
Next up is the "Wasteland Workshop" DLC, which will come out sometime in April 2016 and will be priced at $4.99 in the U.S., £3.99 in the U.K., and $6.95 in Australia. As for its contents, the "Wasteland Workshop" will mostly come with cosmetics to the game, specifically for the building aspect where players will be allowed to build their own arena, and add challenges where they can capture enemies like Deathclaws or Raiders and pit them against other settlement dwellers.
The last "Fallout 4" DLC on Bethesda's list, and probably the biggest one, is "Far Harbor." It is set to come out in May 2016 with a price tag of $24.00 in the U.S., £19.99 in the U.K., and $29.95 in Australia.
"A new case from Valentine's Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths," Bethesda wrote for its description. "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."
This third DLC for "Fallout 4" will feature the "largest landmass" the company has ever created for a game expansion. It will introduce new quests to the players, settlements, creatures to slay, and dungeons to explore.
However, if fans think that this is it for "Fallout 4," Bethesda has announced that these three DLCs are just the beginning and more updates, and probably expansions, will come to the game throughout 2016.
