Fallout 4‘s next piece of downloadable content is coming tomorrow in the form of Far Harbor – a major piece of content that takes players to Maine. The new locale and story is looked at more deeply in new footage released by Bethesda that previews the game’s first giant piece of downloadable content. You can watch the footage above, but be warned: there are obviously spoilers for Far Harbor.
The conflict in Far Harbor centers around the townspeople, the Children of Atom and the Synths. The Children of Atom have not really been prevalent in Fallout 4 until now, with the exception of some story beats that had players crossing paths with the religious group. The trailer showcases why the Children of Atom may be more prevalent because of the environment’s largely inhospitable area, where the inhabitants only really exist on the borders of the island.
The footage also highlights some new weapons like meat hooks for melee, a harpoon gun that will definitely ruin someone’s day, and a lever action rifle that will likely be effective in combat scenarios. Add to that Marine Combat Armor, which according to Bethesda in the video, is “the best armor you can get, short of wearing the power armor.” You’ll definitely need it as this piece of downloadable content has far more hazardous enemies, including new types that look extremely disgusting.
Fallout 4‘s Far Harbor DLC will be released tomorrow for $24.99 USD, or is included in the season pass.
