Fallout 4 Expansions Announced, Season Pass Price Increasing to $50
After last week's tease, Bethesda has now officially announced the first details for Fallout 4's expansions. At least three are in the works, called Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, and Far Harbor. Additionally, Bethesda has announced that the price of the Fallout 4 expansion pass is rising from $30 to $50.
Automatron kicks things off when it launches in March, priced at $10. This expansion sees the Mechanist character releasing a "horde of evil robots" into post-apocalyptic Boston, one of which is the "devious Robobrain." Players will track them down and use their parts to build their own robot.
"Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun," Bethesda said. "Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices."
Coming in April is Wasteland Workshop, which carries a price tag of $5.
"With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures--from raiders to Deathclaws," reads a line from its official description. "Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy, and more."
Far Harbor rounds out the three when it launches in May. This is the most expensive of the bunch, priced at $25. In it, you take on a mission from the Valentine's Detective Agency to find a young woman and a "secret colony of synths." Far Harbor--the largest piece of content in terms of landmass that Bethesda has ever created for an expansion--is set off the coast of Maine. Given the name, we'd imagine it will be a post-apocalyptic version of Maine's popular tourist location Bar Harbor.
"Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world," Bethesda said. "Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we've ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours."
Beyond these three expansions, which Bethesda labeled the "first series of add-ons," there will be even more content coming that will be announced later. Bethesda said it will deliver "more than $60 worth of new Fallout adventures and features" in 2016.
Additionally, Bethesda has announced that, "given the expanded DLC plan," it's raising the price of the Fallout 4 DLC pass from $30 to $50. This price change will kick in on March 1. Everyone who already bought the DLC pass, or buys it before March 1, won't be asked to pay more.
