Bethesda Details Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta

The first screen shots and hard details concerning the final planned installment of DLC for Fallout 3 have been released by Bethesda Softworks.

The add-on will be released on August 3 ^rd and will take players aboard an alien ship orbiting high above the Capital Wasteland. In addition, players will be able to get their hands on some serious alien tech – weapons such as the Disintegrator and the Atomizer.

Now, we know this is supposed to be the last DLC, but with weapons this cool sounding, we’ve got a feeling a few more chapters of the game are still in store. Below you’ll find the presser released via the game’s official website.

Press Release:

Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction – outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens’ clutches. To do so, you’ll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor.

Story:

A strange Alien signal is being broadcast throughout the Capital Wasteland, originating from a crashed UFO. Is it a distress call, or something far more sinister? That question is answered when you find yourself beamed aboard an enormous Alien spacecraft, with only one alternative – to fight your way to the bridge of the ship and secure your escape.

Key Features:

• Find and exploit new and destructive alien technology, like the Alien Atomizer and Drone Cannon.
• Explore the vast Mothership and learn the secrets of the Aliens’ master plan.
• Thwart the Aliens’ attempt to stop your escape, and take over the Alien ship before it wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting Earth below.
• Fight against the Alien Invaders, their robot drones, and turn their own horrible experiments against them.
• Ally yourself with an unexpected array of characters, both from the Capital Wasteland and from Earth’s past.
