Many people predicted it, but only now has Bethesda confirmed the inevitable, announcing that the 3 pieces of Fallout 3 DLC currently available on the other systems will make their way to PS3 from late June.
In addition to these DLC packs, The Pitt, Broken Steel and Operation Anchorage, the PS3 will also be home to some more extra content as the company have announced the next two sets of content to be released. All three platforms will see the Point Lookout (all new area) and the Mothership Zeta (aliens invade the wasteland) later in the year.
With etail versions of all these packs announced too, anyone yet to experience the additional content for one of 2008’s greatest games has no reason to not delve into Fallout 3 again. Hit the jump for the official press release.

In addition, a new update will be released for PS3 that will allow users to download and play the new DLC. The release date for that update will be announced at a later date.
There are also two new DLCs planned for all three platforms:
• Point Lookout – Explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content.
• Mothership Zeta – The aliens have returned, and they’re pissed. Experience an alien abduction first hand and find out if you’re tough enough to survive.
Point Lookout will be available in late June for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 Microsoft Points. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live. Point Lookout will be available on PS3 after the first three DLCs have been released.
Mothership Zeta is scheduled for release in late July for Xbox 360 and PC. Cost will be 800 Microsoft Points. It will be available through Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live. Mothership Zeta will be available on PS3 after Point Lookout.
