Bethesda has officially announced the highly anticipated release of the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, set to launch on November 10. This special edition commemorates the game's 10th anniversary, similar to the successful release strategy employed for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Fans of the franchise can look forward to an enhanced gaming experience that bundles the base game with all previously released expansions.
The Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition encompasses the base game, alongside exciting expansions such as Automatron, Far Harbor, and Nuka-World. Originally launched in 2015, Fallout 4 transports players to the year 2287, a staggering 210 years after the catastrophic Great War. Set in a richly detailed post-apocalyptic world, the game captures the nostalgic aesthetics of the 1940s and 1950s USA.
In this particular installment of the Fallout franchise, players take on the role of the Sole Survivor from Vault 111. After being frozen in a cryogenic pod, the protagonist awakens to find a world forever changed by nuclear devastation. As they navigate this harsh landscape, players are accompanied by a loyal canine companion named Dogmeat, along with six other potential companions. These include the charming robot butler Codsworth, the enigmatic railroad agent Deacon, the charismatic mayor of Goodneighbor named John Hancock, the synth detective Nick Valentine, the intrepid reporter Piper Wright, and the dedicated Minutemen member Preston Garvey.
Beyond the core game and its expansions, the Anniversary Edition introduces an impressive array of additional content. Players can expect to find 150 pieces of content sourced from the Creation Club, an in-game marketplace that allows developers to offer various downloadable content (DLC) such as weapons, skins, and more. Among the exciting free content included in this edition are new breeds for Dogmeat, featuring adorable options like a Husky and a Dalmatian.
The Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition also includes an innovative in-game Creations menu that enables players to effortlessly browse and access downloadable content. This feature enhances gameplay, allowing players to customize their experience further and explore the rich world of Fallout 4 more deeply.
