Bethesda dates Fallout 3: The Pitt

Confirmed for late March release.

Bethesda Softworks has announced that The Pitt, the second downloadable expansion for the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout 3, will be released on 24th March.

As previously announced, The Pitt will share the same price point as January's Operation: Anchorage: 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

For those who haven't been keeping up, The Pitt takes you outside the Capital Wasteland into Pittsburgh, where you become embroiled in a dispute between slaves and their owners, and has more in common with general Fallout 3 gameplay than the combat-heavy Anchorage instalment.

You can read more about it in today's Fallout 3: The Pitt hands-on preview. We also have three new shots in a Fallout 3: The Pitt screenshot gallery.

Look out for our review on or around release.
