Fallout 3 PS3 DLC Re-dated, Reordered



£34.99

Bethesda has announced that the PS3 versions of the Fallout 3 DLC won't be out for quite some time.

The news comes from the US PlayStation Blog, with Ashley Cheng, a producer at Bethesda, stating the changes.

It looks like PS3 owners are going to have to wait awhile before getting to grips with more of the wasteland, as the DLC has been delayed until September despite having been originally scheduled for last month. "That long?" rhetorically asks Cheng. "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."

And the good news? "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," writes Cheng.

"After Broken Steel, we'll be releasing Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt shortly thereafter, probably at the same time - just to get them out to you as soon as we can. After that we'll have Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta available as soon as we can, so that the wait between DLC is as short as possible." More information is promised once Broken Steel comes out.

We doubt that'll be much consolation to beleaguered PS3 fans, but at least it's something. Let's just hope that these DLC packs actually work out of the gate.
