Fallout 3 PS3 DLC .. in September?!?

I’m not as outraged as the title might lead you to believe about this, but then again, I’m not playing Fallout 3 on the PlayStation 3. According to a blog post by Ashley Cheng, a producer at Bethesda Game Studios, the first downloadable content won’t be out until sometime in September. Today sure is shaping up to be a series of disappointments for gamers.

“So when can you expect Fallout 3 DLC? We are knee deep in testing at the moment, and we’re hoping to have the first DLC out by the end of September. That long? Keep in mind that not only do we need to test each DLC on PS3, we also need to test each DLC when used in conjunction with each of the other DLC, as well as all of them together, along with the entire original game.”

The good news for PS3 Fallout owners is that they may get the DLC in the order they want it. For instance, Broken Steel, which Bethesda says is the most requested of the pack, will be the first one to be released. Broken Steel requires players to finish the main storyline and raises the level cap considerably, so it makes sense to release it first. After Broken Steel, Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt will be released “shortly thereafter” with Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta coming “as soon as they can.”
