Bethesda has revealed the first details of three Fallout 3 DLC packs scheduled for next year, and of the PC content editor due for release next month.
The first of the bundles, which will only be coming to Xbox 360 and PC, is entitled Operation Anchorage. Billed as “a military simulation,” the add-on will allow players to fight for the liberation of Anchorage, following an invasion by Chinese Communists. Expect this to be available in January.
A second pack, due the following month, is named “The Pitt,” and will allow players to explore an industrial raider town in the ruins of Pittsburgh. Finally, March will see the release of “Broken Steel” – an add-on that follows the Brotherhood of Steel’s continued fight against The Enclave, following the conclusion of Fallout 3’s storyline.
In the meantime, next month should see the release of a full-set of Fallout 3 modding tools, christened “The G.E.C.K” after the game’s important quest item.
“The release of the G.E.C.K. provides the community with tools that will allow players to expand the game any way they wish,” reads the Bethesda press release. “Users can create, modify, and edit any data for use with Fallout 3, from building landscapes, towns, and locations to writing dialogue, creating characters, weapons, creatures, and more,” explained Bethesda.
Given that people are still making mods and patches for the first two Fallout games, some ten years after their release, it will be interesting to see what people do with the new tools.
