The developer has announced three pieces of DLC coming to Xbox 360 and PC as well as modding tools for the community. A game patch is in the works also.
The tools will be for free next month while the DLC will be made available from January for an unspecified amount at the moment, they will arrive monthly.
”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,” revealed Bethesda, speaking on the G.E.C.K. modding tools for PC gamers.
There are three different DLC pieces Bethesda are working on at the moment, the dev team has offered the following descriptions:
Operation: Anchorage
Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe - the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.
The Pitt
Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your side. Scheduled for release in February.
Broken Steel
Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.
Again there is no price point available at the moment, but more importantly for some Fallout 3 gamers the developer is toiling away on patches for all platforms to address numerous issues and other niggles.
”It’s fun to create your own character, but it can be equally fun to create your own adventures. We can’t wait to see what the community does with the G.E.C.K.,” said Todd Howard, game director for Fallout 3.
