UPDATED - New Fallout 3 DLC Title Leaked?

Retailers Jump the Gun

by Veggie Jackson

UPDATE - Bethesda's Vice President, Pete Hines, has responded to our request with the following email:

"We have said there will be three DLCs for Fallout 3, for PC and 360. We’ve released two, and the third, Broken Steel, is scheduled for release Tuesday, May 5th. Beyond that we have no announced plans for additional DLC."

"No announced plans" doesn't mean "no plans," so it's not quite a denial, more of a "no comment."  I have a strong feeling that we'll be hearing a lot more about this next month at E3.

With the third DLC pack for Fallout 3, Broken Steel, only days away, Bethesda is likely gearing up to announce a fourth expansion to the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the critically acclaimed first-person RPG.  They may have been scooped, though, by a few impatient online retailers.

Three separate retailers, eStarland, MSN Shopping, and Bountii, are showing listings for pre-ordering an expansion pack that includes Broken Steel and something called “Point Lookout” or “Point Look.”  eStarland and MSN list it as “Point Look,” Bountii lists it as “Point Lookout,” which makes more sense, as it is the name of a state park in Bethesda’s home state of Delaware.


We are in the process of contacting Bethesda for comment, and we’ll update this story as soon as they get back to us.

    They are all just Fallout 3: Empty Your Wallet to me.

    Once BS hits, I will buy every single expansion they put out. I just want to get some levels during that shit, rather than waste all that sweet, succulent XP.

    I currently have a reserve of 4000 points that is only allowed to be spent after my last exam. Once that shit's done it's back to the Wastes for me!

    One correction: Bethesda's home, and the state park in question, are both in Maryland, not Delaware. That said, I would love to see some DLC set in Point Lookout State Park. I've never been there, but reading the description of the park on its wikipedia page, I can imagine some great scenarios, given the lighthouse and Fort Lincoln, plus all the various waterways and marshland... New creatures, maybe?
