Space, the final frontier. No voyage here...yet. You're stuck in a mothership hovering above the Capital Wastelands, doing your best to fight your way off before the *gulp* probes.
Well, maybe there isn't really probes in Fallout 3's newest DLC pack, Mothership Zeta. But there is outer space and aliens, and new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon. And get this: there's Samurai Armor. Nice.
Here's how Bethesda paints the picture:
A strange Alien signal is being broadcast throughout the Capital Wasteland, originating from a crashed UFO. Is it a distress call, or something far more sinister? That question is answered when you find yourself beamed aboard an enormous Alien spacecraft, with only one alternative – to fight your way to the bridge of the ship and secure your escape.
Mothership Zeta will launch on August 3rd for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live, priced at 800 Microsoft Points. We have a few hot new (and great-looking) screens from Zeta in our gallery below.
Aliens: you knew they were coming.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Of course, if this was already announced somewhere and I didn't hear it, just ignore my lack of knowledge. I don't remember seeing it said that it was definitely going to be the last one.
I'd probably purchase these "vinette" style DLC episodes for years after even a sequel comes out.
Unless you're into being probed. It is a sandbox type game after all.
*sigh*
I miss the first Fallout's.
PS: But the third is awesome(not as much as the originals of course)
This looks awesome. I'm also REALLY looking forward to getting my hands on some more alien energy cells (though hopefully not too many!), my blaster's running kinda low.
mostly because i read shit like this. this mod is the equivalent of stabbing your son to death, then giving him the heimlich, or whatever you do with people who have beens tabbed to death, and punching him in the face for coming back to life, even if the newly living version of him is full of knife wounds and probably won't survive the blood loss he's experiencing.
aliens? what's the point? i can summon up enough zeal in response to this article to add an exclamation point to the sentiment that 'this mod is fucking retarded!'
@Phantom Spaceman: You didn't like the weapons? I still use the Backwater Rifle and the Double-Barrel Shotgun. The only problem I see is that every time they start to get worn down I have to go back to Point Lookout for parts.
@uepuejq This is the only "silly" DLC. If you want "serious" DLC then obtain the other four and ignore this one. It's not that hard. Stop your bitching.
*Sigh*
