14 DAY TRIAL // Video game publisher Bethesda and developer Obsidian have announced that the planned Lonesome Road downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas has been delayed into the month of September.
The company said that the move was due to a number of “circumstances outside our control”, which suggests that it might have something to do with the review process that all content needs to go through before being launched on the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
At first Lonesome Road was supposed to be launched during July and now both companies in charge of it are saying that it will be launched as soon as possible, although no clear date was suggested for the September launch window.
Lonesome Road is set to allow the player to contact Courier Six, who is also referenced towards the beginning of the game and might know something about the past of the main characters.
The DLC will take the player into the Divide and will explore the background of the player character and expand the game world.
Lonesome Road is set to cost 10 dollars when it is launched.
Bethesda and Obsidian have not said whether they plan to create and launch more DLC for Fallout: New Vegas in the coming months or whether another project in the series is being created.
New Vegas took the structure of Fallout 3 and expanded it from a narrative standpoint, with the developers at Obsidian creating some truly wonderful and weird stories set around the City of Sin.
The game had some problems when it launched, including some bugs that made it unplayable for a minority of gamers, but since then Obsidian has patched out almost all the issues.
Bethesda is set to publish RAGE, the shooter from id Software, this fall and the action and role playing mix The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will follow in November.
