　　When Bethesda announced Fallout 4's DLC last week, the developer frankly admitted, "We don't know what the actual DLC will be yet." That's because the developer is still heads-down to finish the game.

　　Fallout 4's DLC will be available through the game's $30 DLC pass. In addition to paid DLC, Fallout 4 players can look forward to free updates on a regular basis and mod support--even on consoles.

　　The Fallout 4 release date is set for November 10 across PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
