BethesdaGameStudios tweets that they should be ready to offer a beta version
of the survival mode overhaul for
Fallout 4 next week, saying "#Fallout4
Survival mode overhaul should be in Steam beta next week. #PleaseStandBy"
(thanks
GameSpot). More immediately,
Bethesda also announces the release of the
Automatron expansion for the post-apocalyptic RPG sequel. All you need to know about this is on the
Fallout website, and
this recent trailer
shows off the pack. Here's word:
In Automatron, the mysterious Mechanist
has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the
devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your
own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armour,
abilities, and weapons such as the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customise
their paint schemes and choose their voices! (For characters level 15 or
higher.)
Automatron marks the first add-on release for Fallout 4. In April, we’re
expanding the capabilities of settlements with Wasteland Workshop, and in May,
travel beyond the Commonwealth to Maine for Far Harbor – the largest landmass
Bethesda Game Studios has ever created for post-release content. And, that’s
just the beginning, with even more add-ons to be released in 2016. Stay tuned
for more details on free updates like Survival Mode and the Creation Kit, which
will allow you to create mods on the PC and then share and play them across all
platforms, including consoles.
