News has just broken out that Bethesda is planning on releasing the once-Xbox 360-exclusive Fallout 3 DLC to the PlayStation 3.
Apparently, Bethesda has been working on the coding for some time now. PlayStation 3 owners can expect Operation: Anchorage to release sometime in June, with The Pitt and Broken Steel releasing 4-6 weeks apart. As of yet, solid release dates are not set in stone. To make the DLC playable, a support patch will be released in the coming weeks.
Not only that, but Bethesda has announced 2 new pieces of DLC for PC, Xbox360 and PS3! Dubbed “Point Lookout” and “Mothership Zeta”, these new packs will put your Fallout 3 skills to the test!
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 Microsoft Points. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live. 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 Microsoft Points. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live. Mothership Zeta will be available on PS3 after Point Lookout.
