Three new Fallout: New Vegas DLC packs revealed

Bethesda has announced three new DLC packs for their post apocalyptic RPG Fallout: New Vegas, which will be released in the coming months.

Entitled Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road, the new downloadable content will see the light of day in May, June and July respectively.

Honest Hearts

Take an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah's Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when your caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As you try to find a way back to the Mojave you become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man. The decisions you make will determine the fate of Zion.

Price: 800 MS Points. Release Date: 17 May.

Old World Blues

Discover how some of the Mojave’s mutated monsters came to be when you unwittingly become a lab rat in a science experiment gone awry. You’ll need to scour the Pre-War research centres of the Big Empty in search of technology to turn the tables on your kidnappers or join forces with them against an even greater threat.

Price: 800 MS Points. Release Date: June.

Lonesome Road

Lonesome Road brings the courier's story full circle when you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job –a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.

Price: 800 MS Points. Release Date: July.

All three packs promise to further expand on the New Vegas story as well as, once again, raise the stakes.
