Few games have managed to meet the prevailing standards of DLC quite like New Vegas did. Released in an era where post-release game content was seen mostly as a shameless money grab, it masterfully wove the story’s arc into the base game’s framework in a way that was both intriguing and non-invasive, evoking curiosity with a tension and attention to detail that suggested the writers were deeply invested in the Fallout universe lore.


The four part DLC arc spanning Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and The Lonesome Road stands out as some of the best writing in the entire series. The DLC will be just another backdrop for bangy shooty murder antics that don’t inspire much thought.īut for those of us who enjoyed the series for its horror sci-fi infused criticism of jingoism and post war domestic idealism, it may come as the final chapter in a book filled with disappointment.įallout 4 had some big shoes to fill following Fallout: New Vegas. If you’ve resigned yourself to Fallout’s goofy fate as Saints Row 5: Nuclear Wasteland, Nuka World, with its kitschy robot mascots, wacky weapon mods, and derelict carnival rides, will not bother you. Hyperbolic headline and hysterics aside, Nuka World is a fitting end to post-release Fallout 4 content. Centered on a Nuka Cola theme park, players will encounter new enemies, weapon mods, and challenges, all carnival themed, while rising up the ranks of a Raider faction to ultimately become their leader.

This week Bethesda officially announced Nuka World, a final piece of Fallout 4 DLC arriving to the game at the end of this month.
