Fallout: New Vegas, the latest installment in the post apocalyptic role playing game saga has been released recently and, despite numerous bugs and glitches, has become extremely popular, fact which Bethesda, its publisher, wants to maintain through the release of downloadable content and a great marketing campaign.
Fallout: New Vegas has been released for a couple of weeks and, despite
lots of glitches and bugs, even game-ending ones for some players, is dominating sales charts on all three platforms, the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, all around the world.
According to Bethesda, the game's publisher, this will continue, just like it did with New Vegas' predecessor, Fallout 3.
For those not familiar with the previous game, Fallout 3 received five add-ons, in the form of Operation Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta, all adding new locations, quests and adventures for owners of the game.
Such a strategy is also planned for Fallout: Vew Vegas, as revealed by Bethesda's European marketing and PR director Sarah Seaby.
“We believe that through a combination of DLC, our strong marketing and PR and by managing our lifecycle properly, that we’ll see a long burn of sales in a similar way to Fallout 3,” revealed Seaby.
Fallout: New Vegas is already scheduled to received its first piece of downloadable content this December, but, sadly,
it will be exclusive to Xbox 360 owners, so PC and PlayStation 3 gamers will have to be content with going through the Mojave Wasteland without any new quests for the time being.
Meanwhile, until Obsidian, the game's developer, will release new DLC, rest assured that
patches for the many bugs and glitches from the game will continue be released, in order to finally make it a decent experience, especially for console owners that are stuck with some serious problems.
