Coming this Tuesday, June 23rd, to Xbox Live and expanding on the already immense world of Fallout 3 is the 4th DLC pack in the series, Point Lookout.

Before we get into the new Point Lookout DLC, though, a brief history of the DLCs that have come out so far for Fallout 3.

The game starts in the Capital Wasteland, better known as Washington D.C. After bringing possible salvation to the Wasteland’s denizens, the first DLC, Operation: Anchorage, throws you into one of the most pivotal conflicts of the Fallout universe, the liberation of Alaska from the Chinese. The Operation: Anchorage DLC was released in January.

In the next DLC, we explored more of the expansive Fallout universe by traveling to a raider town that was once known as the Steel City of Pittsburgh. The Pitt DLC came out in March.

It wouldn’t be long before we headed back to the Capital Wasteland as part of Broken Steel where you join up with the Brotherhood of Steel to take on the remnants of the Enclave back in May and would begin a series of monthly downloads for Fallout 3.

Now, on June 23rd, Point Lookout will add to the mythology of the Fallout universe by exploring what was once Point Lookout State Park in Maryland, near the Capital Wasteland. What was once a coastal resort area has now been turned into a mutated swampland after the war. With this being the first truly rural environment to be explored in the Fallout universe, you can expect new, challenging enemies, and many new quests and achievements to keep your Xbox 360 warm at night.

If you are a Fallout junkie you will also be pleased to know it is the same price as the other DLC at 800 Microsoft points (roughly $10 American dollars) and that the monthly DLC releases will continue with next month’s Mothership Zeta DLC which will involve the Alien Crash Site and some not so friendly extra-terrestrials. More details as they are beamed up.
