Bethesda isn’t done with Fallout, announces ‘Fallout 4’ DLC and ‘Fallout Shelter’ for PC

Following the releases of AutomatronWasteland Workshop, and Far Harbor, Bethesda hopes to sweeten the upcoming summer months with additional Fallout 4 downloadable content packs.

Beginning with Contraptions WorkshopFallout 4‘s fourth add-on will include the ability to create elevators, armor and weapon racks, track kits, sorting machines, and conveyor belts. Contraptions Workshop will be available for download next week.

Moving on to Vault-Tec Workshop, this DLC pack takes a cue from Bethesda’s Fallout Shelter mobile title by letting players create their own Vaults. As you create your Vault, however, you are bound to come across enemies in your way, so you will need to keep an eye out for any nasty surprises. In addition, you can also experiment on dwellers, which should make for some comical videos. Vault-Tec Workshop will be available for download sometime in July.

Thirdly, the Nuka-World DLC will take place in the iconic soft drink’s themed pre-war amusement park. According to Bethesda’s Todd Howard, the park has been taken over by bandits, with the DLC pack similar to Far Harbor in that it is filled with story content. Howard also revealed that Nuka-World will be Fallout 4’s last DLC. Nuka-World will be available sometime in August.

On a related note, Bethesda announced an update to Fallout Shelter, available for iOS and Android, which the publisher said was the most-played Bethesda game in the company’s history. The update will include a revamped combat system that will let players drag their finger to the enemies they want to target, as well as additional locales, characters, and enemies. Finally, you will be able to send dwellers to different locales in order to complete quests. The new update will be available sometime in July, with Fallout Shelter making its way to PC that same month.

How to get to Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves
An election poster for guybrush in Sea of Thieves.

Over the course of its many years of updates and expansions, Sea of Thieves has had a few notable crossovers with other pirate franchises. The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover let you team up with the legendary Jack Sparrow, but the Monkey Island content felt like it came out of nowhere. For those unaware, Monkey Island is a series of pirate point-and-click games that were as funny as the puzzles were obscure. Thankfully, you don't have to intuit that you need to combine a cat whisker with a mason jar to bypass a skeleton guard to get to this new content, but it is more challenging than you might think.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.
