Fallout 3 DLC releases January 27, patch out now

by Sam Naylor on January 13, 2009 at 9:36 am

Shacknews reports that Fallout 3’s first downloadable content pack will be available on 27 January. Operation: Anchorage (the name of the pack) will allow players to liberate Anchorage from China, and you can play in the snow it will take about 4-5 hours to complete. The pack costs 800 MS points on 360 and PC, and nothing on the PS3. Seems like a good deal, but when you factor in that Microsoft’s exclusivity arrangement, your $0 will get you nothing. Still no love for PS3 owners, I suppose. The next packs are coming in February and March, if you’re not a snow fan.

[Update] Patch details after the jump, comes with free PC download link.

    I only got the haircut problem. I’m looking forward to the DLC though. Going to be buying a few Microsoft points this month…

    Oh, so now I can finally build the robots for Big Town? Awesome! Bethesda are the man!

    I would be so pissed at you if I was a PS3 owner for building up my hopes and then crushing them a second later! But, I don’t own a PS3, so that was kind of funny.

    Can’t wait for this DLC. I am not a huge RPG fan, actually this is the first RPG I have ever played but I had to check it out with all the hype surrounding it. It has not let me down at all, in fact it has exceeded my expectations.

    Keep the goodies coming Bethesda!

    Oh, and John,
    You were right on. The game is a 10!
