Fallout 3 DLC for PS3 Delayed Further; Release Details Fleshed out

Fallout 3 DLC for PS3 Delayed Further; Release Details Fleshed out

None

Ashley Cheng, a producer at Bethesda Game Studios, posted on the official PlayStation Blog that DLC for Fallout 3 will be further delayed:

“Unfortunately, the content is going to be releasing later than originally expected.” He continued, “We are knee deep in testing at the moment, and we’re hoping to have the first DLC out by the end of September.”

Apparently, the reason for the longer than expected delay has to do with arduous testing the game is currently going through. “Keep in mind that not only do we need to test each DLC on PS3, we also need to test each DLC when used in conjunction with each of the other DLC, as well as all of them together, along with the entire original game.”

Thankfully, not all the news is bad. Broken Steel DLC, the add-on that raises the level cap and changes the ending will be released first, as it is generally considered to be the meatiest offering. Speaking on this issue, Cheng stated, “We have decided that Broken Steel will be the first release since it is easily the most requested DLC from our fans. Broken Steel allows you to continue playing the game after completing the Main Quest, raises the level cap to 30, and includes 4-6 hours of additional gameplay.”

Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt will follow “shortly thereafter.” The team at BGS will subsequently have Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta “available as soon as we can.” As such, look for more delays PS3 owners. However, expect full-fledged support to continue to back the title.
