Fallout 4's already stuffed with content, boasting one of the most dense game worlds that we've seen in quite some time - and it sounds as though it's about to get a heck of a lot bigger. The game's third piece of downloadable content, titled Far Harbor, is set to be a more traditional expansion, introducing a fresh location that features its own quests, characters, and dungeons.
Bethesda's already stated that it's one of the biggest add-ons that the studio has ever produced in terms of scale, and VP of marketing Pete Hines has shone a little more light on what that means. Replying to a fan on Twitter, Hines says that Far Harbor is "bigger in size" than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion.
For those of you who never visited the Isles, Oblivion's brilliantly made DLC offered up a huge new setting to explore, and easily added another 20 or 30 hours of content to the game. In other words, Far Harbor sounds like it's going to be bloody huge. As far as we're aware, the expansion's still due to release in May, and will be available at no extra cost if you've purchased the title's season pass.
Are you looking forward to Fallout 4's first big add-on? Wash ashore in the comments section below.

I'm seriously looking forward to this. I bought the season pass right off because Bethesda has never skimped out on me with their DLC content.
Push Square gave Automatron a 7/10 if I recall correctly, and having blown through it all yesterday I completely agree with that assessment. Great addon, but not really meaty. What story there was, was a ton of fun, and modding Ada into a killbot was a ton of fun as well. That said, she's now hanging out with the rest of the gang at Red Rocket while I'm out in the Wastes with Dogmeat per usual.
For those about to rock--er, about to head into Automatron--those robot modding stations pop up throughout your missions for a reason--mod the crap out of your bot at each one. You'll have picked up more mods and materials than you thought, and an upgraded bot will make the final spring much easier to get through.

@glassmusic thanks for the advice. Going to head into automatron tomorrow night so nice to know early.
I'm pumped for extra content and a huge expansion. This is the first season pass I've invested in so I'm hoping it really hits the mark.
Awesome.
I will wait for the Game of the Year edition in November. That way it will be like having Fallout 4.5.
Oh and the Oblivion dlc was more like 35hrs.
I've heard this is correct in terms of landmass, but the amount to do within that landmass will be less than Shivering Isles, but more than dawnguard hence the cheaper price than the former. Looking forward to it. Now, survival mode news if you have it please? Rumours are that the beta is out on PC this week!
@WARDIE I don't think the goty will release this November. Especially since bethesda will release a second batch of dlc at the end of this year, and that might not even be all, they had a good reason to higher the price of the season pass so maybe even a third batch of dlc in 2017 (I hope and think so). The goty is a no brainer but expect it somewhere in 2017.
I hope they release at least DLC on disc as they did with Fallout 3. Maybe a first release in summer with the announced DLC and a second with the unknown ones? The EU version in already 45 GB now... When last year I decided to play F3 again on my 360 I just had to install game and dlc discs and it took me an hour...
