BETHESDA SOFTWORKS ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR
FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS ADD-ON GAME CONTENT
First Fallout: New Vegas Downloadable Content
Exclusive to Xbox LIVE
October 18, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced plans to develop add-on content for Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to the 2008 Game of the Year, Fallout 3. The first downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas will be available this holiday season through Xbox LIVE for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
“We’re excited to continue the partnership between Bethesda and Microsoft, and build on the success of the game add-ons released for Fallout 3 on Xbox LIVE,” said Pete Hines, VP of Marketing and PR of Bethesda Softworks. “Fans will once again be able to continue their experience in the Fallout universe with the add-on packs planned for after the launch of the game.”
Fallout: New Vegas brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.
“Bethesda set a high bar with the quality of the Fallout game add-ons,” said Matt Barlow, General Manager, IEB Product Marketing for Microsoft. “We have no doubt that gamers will be thrilled with seeing a new add-on pack extend their adventures with Fallout: New Vegas on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE.”
At this time there is no mention on actual content or pricing for the DLC, nor whether or not the DLC will add new acheivements to the game. So the question remains, will this be a one and done type thing or will DLC start to become exclusive for specific consoles? I sense another of my rants coming on.....
For those living under a rock Fallout: New Vegas will be out for the PC, 360 and PS3 (in North America) on the 19th of October.
