First Fallout 3 DLC goes live
January 27th, 2009 |
Fallout 3’s first downloadable content (DLC) pack went live this morning on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Operation: Anchorage takes players into a combat simulator, allowing them to escape the inhospitable environment of the Capital Wasteland and enter the inhospitable environment of Alaska. The game allows players to experience one of the Fallout universe’s most important military battles between the Americans and the Chinese in Alaska.

This download pack will contain a more linear story than in the rest of the Fallout 3 experience. Jeff Gardiner, who produced the DLC, explains on the company’s blog:
Operation: Anchorage is a more linear experience. However, there are decisions to be made within the scope of the content itself. The player has the choice on how to outfit their strike team. They also get to decide how to approach and subdue the Chinese Stronghold, as well as how and if they’ll help the Brotherhood Outcasts. Subsequent DLC, The Pitt and Broken Steel, will contain more open-world gameplay.
The DLC is available on Xbox Live for 800 Microsoft points.
