Fallout 4 DLC update: Bethesda confirm expansion release date for 2016

Fallout 4's DLC will be out in early 2016

FALLOUT 4 is set to get new DLC content from Bethesda in early 2016, the studio has confirmed in a new update.

 

Fallout 3 had five expansion packs released with it, while Fallout: New Vegas had four accompanied by several smaller weapons packs.

So it comes as no surprise that Bethesda are planning fresh story content for the November 10 release title.

A new statement from the studio today confirmed that a Season Pass for the game would cost $30, the UK pricing has yet to be confirmed.

Bethesda have also pledged that the new DLC offering will be worth at least $40, in line with the same claims made about  Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim expansions.

The studio statement explains: "We've always done a lot of DLC for our games. We love making them and you always ask us for more.

"To reward our most loyal fans, this time we’ll be offering a Season Pass that will get you all of the Fallout 4 DLC we ever do for just $30. Since we’re still hard at work on the game, we don’t know what the actual DLC will be yet, but it will start coming early next year. Based on what we did for Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, we know that it will be worth at least $40, and if we do more, you'll get it all with the Season Pass.

"Thanks again to all of you! The support and excitement you’ve given Fallout 4 has blown us away.

"It’s energized us even more to do everything we can in these final months to make this our best game yet. We absolutely can't wait for you to play it, and share your adventures with us and each other."

Fallout 4 will also be regularly updated with new features and fixes in the same way Skyrim saw the release of legendary mode.

"It's during this stage of development that we start thinking about how we'll support Fallout 4 after launch," the Bethesda statement adds.

"We wanted to give you a taste of what we plan on doing.

"We'll be doing regular free updates to the game, and like Skyrim, these will come with not just fixes, but new features.

"For Skyrim we added things like mounted combat, legendary mode, kill cams, visual enhancements and more. We’ll work with all of you to figure out what new things you’d love to see added to Fallout 4, whether they are small tweaks or new features."
