Fallout 4 Far Harbor making of video showcases new area, teases story
Listen to the devs discuss making the new DLC, ahead of its release.
Bethesda has released a new making of video for Far Harbor, the Fallout 4 DLC which will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on Thursday, May 19. The video features developers discussing what players can look forward to in the expansion.
According to lead designer Will Shen, Far Harbor will take Fallout 4 players to somewhere with "new stories and new experiences."
"Far Harbor is the largest landmass we've ever made for an add-on," he continued. "It's a high-level area full of mystery, danger, and a new conflict between the townspeople, The Children of Atom, and the Synths."
Along with Shen, lead designer Matt Carofano appears to discuss extending the New England feel of the game to a terrain that's more rugged and harsher. Finally, lead producer Phil Nelson teases the DLC's story. See it all in the video below.
"In Far Harbor, a new case from Valentine's Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths," reads the official description.
"Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost?"
Far Harbor is a post-apocalyptic version of Maine's popular tourist destination, Bar Harbor. It will be available for $25 and is also included with the $50 Fallout 4 DLC pass. The first Fallout 4 add-on was Automatron, which came out in March. This was followed up by Wasteland Workshop in April.
Bethesda has also previously announced plans to increase the amount of Fallout 4 DLC content it is releasing and expand the scope of it. It teased that Fallout 4 fans should "stay tuned" for more information about more add-ons coming later this year. Those that purchased the Fallout 4 DLC pass will also receive those expansions at no extra cost whatever they turn out to be.
Although no further details on future DLC has been revealed, it may be that Bethesda will talk about them at its E3 2016 press conference, though this is not confirmed
