Fallout 4 news: Bethesda give update on expanding the series

Fallout 4 news on the new Collector's Edition

BETHESDA have given an update on how they plan to expand the Fallout 4 series ahead of its launch on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

 

Having been revealed earlier this month, new details have been released on the launch of a Fallout-themed Monopoly edition.

Costing $40, UK price not confirmed, Monopoly: Fallout Collector’s Edition is now available to pre-order via the official Bethesda Store.

The game has seen a full revamp, with houses and hotels now called Shacks and Vaults, although Bottlecaps are not being used as the game's currency.

Instead, gamers will use official custom Fallout money, while the game board features locations from all four Fallout video games.

The official description reads: "Greetings Vault Dwellers! Play MONOPOLY: Fallout Collector's Edition and rebuild civilization as you buy, sell, and trade your way through the Fallout Wasteland. Featuring iconic property locations from all four Fallout games, players can fortify their properties with Vault-Tec approved Shacks (Houses) and Vaults (Hotels).

"Feel S.P.E.C.I.A.L. with collectible Wasteland-inspired, distressed finish tokens and plan for the future with custom Fallout money imprinted with the Nuka-Cola bottle caps. MONOPOLY: Fallout Collector's Edition is a perfect collectible item for the Fallout fan."

The Collector's Edition includes: 

• Six collectible tokens with a wasteland inspired distressed finish: 10mm Pistol, MiniNuke, Nuka-Cola Bottle, Power Armor Helmet, Vault Boy, and Vault 111
• Custom game board features locations from all four Fallout video games
• Houses and Hotels renamed Shacks and Vaults
• Vault Dweller's Survival Guide and You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L. cards replace Chance & Community Chest Cards
• Custom Fallout Money
• Instructions

It follows the news that Bethesda will be releasing Fallout 4's first DLC content and Mod Creation Kit in early 2016.

"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," Bethesda revealed.

"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."
