Bethesda has announced some follow-up support for Fallout 4, which comes out on November 10. Fallout 4 will be getting regular new updates, and Bethesda says they’re going to be a pretty big deal.

“Like Skyrim, these will come with not just fixes, but new features,” they announced on the Bethesda blog. It sounds like they’ll also be listening to player feedback to find out what we want from a Fallout game. 

As with other Bethesda games, modding will be fully supported and Bethesda plans to release a Creation Kit for PCs next year.

“This is the same tool we use in the studio,” they said. “We’re especially excited these same mods will then be coming to Xbox One, and then PlayStation 4.”

And then of course there’s the DLC. Bethesda is still working on Fallout 4 and hasn’t announced any specific DLC, but with the $30 Fallout 4 Season Pass you can have access to all future DLC for the game.

“Based on what we did for Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, we know that it will be worth at least $40, and if we do more, you’ll get it all with the Season Pass,” Bethesda said.

Fallout 4 EnvironmentFallout is a series of role-playing games set after a nuclear war which occurred in the year 2077.  Fallout 4 will come out for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. It stars the only surviver of a Vault in which people took shelter from nuclear fallout.

If you want to catch up on the Fallout series before the new game, the Fallout Anthology is being released for PC on October 2. It features the main series Fallout games, plus all their add-ons, with extra space to put your copy of Fallout 4 in the box set as well.

Bethesda publishes the Fallout series as well as the fantasy-based Elder Scrolls series and the Dishonored stealth games. Check back here for more Fallout 4 news as we draw closer to the release.
