During its E3 2016 press conference, Bethesda confirmed the existence of Nuka World, Fallout 4's next big expansion. The add-on, which features a whole new area, new quests, and a Raider-based plot, is due to launch in August, following the release of two smaller downloadable content packs within the next couple of months.
However, after Bethesda head Todd Howard let slip that Nuka World may be the open world title's final expansion during the publisher's E3 livestream, many Fallout fans expressed disappointment. After all, the game has only had one major DLC up to this point, and let's not forget that the title's season pass got a price hike not too long ago.
Unhappy with Howard's indecisive comments on the matter, fans took to Twitter to ask PR boss Pete Hines if Nuka World is indeed Fallout 4's finale. Unfortunately, Hines didn't pull any punches, telling one user that it's the "last DLC". Seems pretty conclusive to us.
Now, while we're looking forward to Nuka World, we're a little disappointed to hear that it's likely to be the game's final add-on. Considering Fallout 3 had five reasonably large expansions and Fallout: New Vegas had four, Fallout 4's post-release offering seems comparatively lacking.
If Nuka World does turn out to be Fallout 4's last hurrah, would you be satisfied? Do you think that the increased price of the season pass has been justified? Escape the apocalypse in the comments section below.

I'm happy I paid €30 for the season pass. But really? I expected atleast 3 major expansions and 6 minor expansions/dlc
up next .fallout 4 game of the year edition
Luckily, thanks to this site I got in before the price hike so I'm satisfied. For people who picked it up post-hike...I do think they should expect a little more bang for their buck.
I had a feeling the DLC would be unable to live up to Fallout 3's epic post expansion lineup. Good thing I didn't take the plunge and got my Fallout fill earning the platinum back in December.
Here's hoping it works
I just don't see why they needed to increase the price if this is all they had to offer? I got the pass before the price went up but feel bad for those that waited.
I love the game and have enjoyed the DLC for the most part but unless Nuka World is massive Bethesda should get ready for some backlash.
Should have took notes from CD Projekt Red.
Seriously Bethesda? After your price hike this is all we get? I expected at least 3 "major" expansions!
I'm actually okay with this - which is easy to say because I haven't played any of the dlc yet. It just means Elder Scrolls 6 can begin full force sooner.
I'm glad I got in before the price hike, like many here. And also like many here, I was hoping for three major chunks of content. Automatron was fun if short, and Far Harbor was ridiculously awesome. Nuka World looks fun, if not huge. Hopefully there are a lot of quests.
I was definitely hoping for at least one more expansion as large as Far Harbor. The little piddly DLCs like the Wasteland Workshop don't do anything for me, and I'm not really interested in the Fallout Shelter add-on dropping next month. I'm not a fan of the mobile game, I doubt I'll enjoy it with framerate issues.
Ah well. It is what it is. Hopefully Nuka World blows our socks off.
If I compare it to what they did for Skyrim it doesn't quite add up to me. Let's say Automatron = Dawnguard. Except it doesn't. The quest is about 1/4 the length without any substantial side quests. All the crafting dlc = Hearthfire. I'd say they're about equal. And lastly Far Harbor = Dragonborn. Without a doubt, hands down Dragonborn takes it. So I hope Nuka-World is a big piece of content and not just another faction quest line.
Half of the dlc has yet to be played and reviewed so a total dlc/season pass grade is not possible. Nuka World could be the best left for last. With that said a good second half is needed to justify the season pass price increase and when the price was increased.
Fallout 3 and NV dlc was interesting in large part from distinctly different new maps and in small part with new attire and weapons. Fallout 4 dlc,while good, has yet to offer that. Far Harbor is a really good dlc, minus frame rates problem, but lacks the distinct map feel. Much like the Broken Steel dlc Far Harbor feels like an extension of the game map instead of a new area like the other 4 Fallout 3 dlc provided.
There are few developers I'd buy a season pass from, these were one (thankfully before the increase) but now? No chance, the content provided is minimal at best, automatron was ok, best thing about it was building your robot which lasted all but 10 minutes when I'd built a juggernaut, far harbour was good, certainly not worth the upped price however, the content Add ons to workshop aren't worth a toss, especially with mods coming in I'm sure plenty of content will arrive that's actually good, Nuka World has to be out this world for me to consider the marked down price worth it let alone the increased price.
That's pretty lame tbh, the other fallout games had great dlc, especially new Vegas.
So glad I didn't buy the game when it first released with the overpriced DLC, will wait for "GOTY" edition.
