Two New DLC Packs for Fallout 3 Announced

Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta DLC for Fallout 3 announced; previous DLC hitting PlayStation 3.

In a severe case of "we told you so" Bethesda has today announced that it will release two all-new downloadable content packs for Fallout 3. The two new packs are called Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta and will be released at an unspecified time in the future.

Other great news for PlayStation 3 Fallout fans comes in the same announcement with Bethesda confirming that the three original pieces of DLC will launch on the PlayStation 3 starting with Operation: Anchorage in late June, followed by The Pitt and Broken Steel staggered by 4-6 week intervals. The newly announced DLC will also be coming to PS3.

Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content.
Mothership Zeta – The aliens have returned, and they're pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you're tough enough to survive.

Point Lookout will be available in late June for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Point Lookout will be available on PS3 after the first three DLCs have been released.

Mothership Zeta is scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 points or $9.99. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live and through token cards available at retail. Mothership Zeta will be available on PS3 after Point Lookout.

More news arrives with the first details of a new Fallout 3 product which will see retail discs release featuring The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage as the first release and Broken Steel and Point Lookout as the second.

These new retail add-on packs will only be available for Xbox 360 and PC users. Finally, a Game of the Year Edition of Fallout 3 will ship to stores in October for all three platforms and will feature all five DLC packs as well as the original game.

Bryn says: OK, so we got the name of Point Lookout a bit wrong (we called it Point Look) but hey, whaddya want?! As predicted, the money-train that is Fallout 3 will continue to release new content... let's just hope that between both Bethesda and Microsoft, these new additions can enjoy flawless DLC launches.
