Bethesda marketing executive Pete Hines has confirmed that August's Nuka-World expansion is the "last one," and fans should not expect any more.

Fallout 4's DLC so far has included Automatron (March 2016), Wasteland Workshop (April 2016), Far Harbor (May 2016), and Contraptions Workshop (June 2016). All of that, as well as Vault-Tec Workshop and Nuka-World, is included with the $50 Fallout 4 DLC Pass.

This was originally offered for $30, at which time it only included the first three add-ons. However. Bethesda later expanded its DLC plans and raised the price, though people who bought the pass for $35 were not asked to pay more.

People payed $50 for the season pass. :lol

Season passes: not even once

cancerdancer · (07-05-2016, 10:57 PM)

What a joke lineup of DLC. Luckily I got the season pass before they hiked it.

DR2K · (07-05-2016, 10:58 PM)

So are these expansions combined the size of the original game?

Bethesda season pass lmao.

Garrett Hawke · (07-05-2016, 10:58 PM)

That's quite disappointing. Glad I got the season pass before it went up in price.

Kathian · (07-05-2016, 10:58 PM)

I don't want to upset anyone but if anyone buys season passes (these aren't preorders either folks) you either need to know what your buying or your a fool. Fools gold literally.

Bethesda price rise oh the face of it was not very nice. But there's a reason some people keep getting burned by these things and other people look on bemused.

Tagyhag · (07-05-2016, 10:58 PM)

So basically, 3 big DLC's for $50.

That seems like a bit much.

This expansion has to be BIG.

NMFried · (07-05-2016, 10:58 PM)

Well, that's not much content. Hmmm.

I guess I'll never understand the point of season passes for the consumer.

Wouldn't you want to see what the DLC is before you buy it?

Salty Catfish · (07-05-2016, 10:59 PM)

Wow, that's awful. Glad I passed on the season pass. I was expecting at least one or two more Far Harbor-sized expansions for the $50 price.

Complistic · (07-05-2016, 10:59 PM)

I'm offended they think that's worth $50

J_Viper · (07-05-2016, 10:59 PM)

If this is as good as Far Harbor, I'll be more than satisfied with my 30 dollar purchase

Kyari · (07-05-2016, 10:59 PM)

I thought Nuka World was going to be another large sized DLC piece like Far Harbour at least?

Not many probably. Started at $30 and GMG at least put it on sale for that price again (and I used a coupon code to drag it further down.)

I don't regret at about $20, but for $50 it'd be damn lame.

Especially with Bethesda games, it pays to wait until (most) bugs are fixed.

Saucycarpdog · (07-05-2016, 10:59 PM)

The Nuka World DLC is really going to decide whether the price hike was worth it.

The argument is that you're paying less than if you would have bought everything separately.

But of course you're taking a risk because the DLC might not actually be good.

It's much cheaper to just wait for the GOTY version but gamers are so impatient nowadays.

Vincent4756 · (07-05-2016, 11:00 PM)

Man my opinion of Bethesda just gets lower and lower.

I guess I really can't complain as I essentially got the game and season pass for 30 from best buy.

But still.

WHEN mods come out, if they ever do, for ps4 maybe the game will get the breath of life it needs.

Lakitu · (07-05-2016, 11:01 PM)

They should have been straight up to begin with. I don't think many were expecting that 4 of the DLCs were just workshop DLCs and not story ones.

Isn't that only $25? Which makes this even more insulting.

Not mad that I spent $24 on this, but I'm not happy about it either.

They announced the FIFTY DOLLAR season pass with *No DLC* planned. All they said is "we don't know what we're making, but trust us it'll be worth it."

If you bought that then you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Ok, this situation is bullshit but don't spread lies.

Oh yes, you're right.

Wow. Two great expansions that add 30+ hours to the game for half the price. Lol Bethesda.

SirNinja · (07-05-2016, 11:03 PM)

Very glad I got the pass for ~$24 way back when. That still seems like the right price for the content on offer.

MrFixIt · (07-05-2016, 11:05 PM)

I enjoyed the story DLC so far, but all those workshop packs just aren't for me. I just don't see the appeal in creating things in that buggy engine, especially on consoles. I'm glad I bought the pass at the old price; otherwise I'd be pissed.

JaseC · 11:38 PM

Did Bethesda ever offer a reason as to why the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC isn't included? The quote in the OP says otherwise, but Bethesda removed it from the Season Pass sub on Steam three weeks ago now.

Edit: It's definitely not included.

Walt Disney World (or something based on it) could be excellent for that sort of thing: Not only do you have multiple theme parks, you have the hotels, a large sports area, forested regions, shopping areas.

Just as I was thinking that, another thought hit me: A Fallout could be fantastic in such a region. The Cult Of The Three Circles around the Magic Kingdom? Deathclaws lurking in the forests of Fort Wilderness? Ragtag bunches of survivors in Pleasure Island? Insane scientists who believe that Blizzard Beach is a naturally-occurring phenomenon and strive to mimic it?

To buy all DLC's at once and sometimes with a discount.

I think Season passes are great, you don't have to buy them, you can always wait until all the DLC is out. Most season passes aren't worth it but the concept behind a SP is really good imo

Banjo-Kazooie · (07-05-2016, 11:08 PM)

What wasted opportunity making workshop DLCs that mods could have solved.

Shame after the stellar DLC support for the previous Fallouts.

Two large, open-world WRPGs released mere months from each other, both with a season pass? expansion in the case of W3, but, semantics I'm shocked that people would compare the two :P

ChoklitCow · (07-05-2016, 11:09 PM)

Wait. Did they announce they were going to raise the price because of additional content just to generate hype then?

Not trying to tinfoil hat anything here, but this doesn't seem like anything changed (unlike something like Dying Light). If so, kudos on the trick. I fell for it.

LelouchZero · 11:12 PM

The DLC offerings in Fallout 3 were better, that game had some amazing DLC!

I got the Season Pass for £20 so it was well worth the price for me.

Nah, they announced the 30$ pass without telling anything at all. We got some vague info with the 50$ hike. Still fucking stupid.

Kadin · (07-05-2016, 11:10 PM)

So is it fair to assume that FO4 did a lot worse than many would imagine or are they simply moving on to other things? Seems a short period of time has passed to announce the last of any potential DLC. They seem to be abandoning ship unless this was always the plan from the start.

wesleyshark · (07-05-2016, 11:11 PM)

The addition of console mods is also a huge bonus.

on xbox

Lucky Seven · (07-05-2016, 11:12 PM)

Disappointed. Especially when compared to NV DLC. Had I known this would happen, I would've just bought Far Harbor and Nuka World.

I assume support is shifting to the Skyrim remaster and whatever else they have in the pipeline.

Panda Rin · (07-05-2016, 11:13 PM)

Well, I'm glad I didn't pick up the season pass, even when it was cheaper. Would have only wanted it for Far Harbor.

Ushay · (07-05-2016, 11:14 PM)

Glad I got the pass before it went up because that much content is worth £20 .. it is NOT worth more. Bethesda passes are usually a mixed bag, some of the content is awesome, others .. meh.

That's not what he's talking about. We didn't get word on what the DLC would actually be until Feb. He's talking about this: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/10...re-content.htm

The Season Pass was originally slated to just have three DLC releases. That number has increased to five, but I have a bridge to sell anyone who doesn't believe that Far Harbor and Nuka-World -- the two pieces of DLC you could label expansions -- were planned from the start. Basically, Bethesda later decided that the price was too low and threw in a couple of smaller DLC releases in order to increase the value proposition. "Five pieces of DLC for $50" seems like good value on the face of it.

Pretty sure 4 sold gangbusters.

Mechanized · (07-05-2016, 11:15 PM)

Uhhh. What are people mad about exactly? The Mechanist was fun, Far Harbor was awesome, Nuka World looks to be the size of Far Harbor or bigger. Seems worth it to me.

HoodWinked · (07-05-2016, 11:15 PM)

cashing in on that fallout 3 good will.

Of course they were. They likely planned to have those three story DLCs for the "season pass" (Mechanist, Far Harbor, Nuka World) and decided they could hike both Far Harbor and Nuka World up in price an extra $5 each and release filler crappy workshop content to "justify" the difference. Sad and disappointing really. If it was Mechanist (which was crap), Far Harbor and Nuka World for the original $30 I can at least justify that...but an extra $30 for workshop content is stupid, especially after coming off of the amazing content of New Vegas, and to a lesser extent, Fallout 3.

matrixman92 · (07-05-2016, 11:18 PM)

Far Harbor was small as hell when it came to content. Hope this one is more substantial

funkystudent · (07-05-2016, 11:18 PM)

Yeah. It was pretty obvious they where pulling a fast one with that Season Pass price hike once the DLC actually started hitting.

Seemed like it sold well but didnt exactly hang around like Skyrim or F3 did
