Fallout 3: Broken Steel dated for May

Raises level cap, re-opens campaign.

Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout 3: Broken Steel will available on 5th May.

Exclusive to Xbox 360 and PC, this third batch of downloadable content raises the level cap from 20 to 30 and opens play past the conclusion of the main campaign.

On top of that are lots more toys to collect, Tesla Cannons to frazzle baddies with, new super mutants to run away from and much, much more.

And we cobbled all that together in a freshly-published Broken Steel preview after Bethesda obligingly whisked us through the content earlier this week.

Broken Steel - like The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage before it - costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) on Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live.

    really can't wait - but i really hope that it isn't plagued by the same gamestopping bugs that The Pitt had... I couldnt play that for nearly 2 weeks after i bought it...

    Wasn't expecting this early in May, result! A day after my student loan come in too.

  • menage #3 3 years ago

    Yay, sold!

    Agreed Zuluhero though. I'll probably wait a few days to see if there's backlash.

  • kinky_mong #4 3 years ago

    Sweet! This should be perfectly timed for when I might possibly get a bit of Left 4 Dead fatigue and need a change. Held out on getting the Pitt so that will be purchased too.

  • schnide #5 3 years ago

    Agreed with the initial comments - it had better bloody work Bethesda. If my save games get ruined, there'll be.. probably not much hell to pay, me being a bit sad and then going to have a hand shandy instead. And you don't want that on your conscience.

  • mega7ech #6 3 years ago

    Cant wait for this, I'll be downloading all three dlc's on the 5th of may then! My data transfer cable should of arrived by then also so I can play all this dlc on my spanking new limited edition red elite! :)))

    Oh and @Pastici

    Why waste your student loan on games when there's booze, cigarettes and prophylactics to be bought?
