The first DLC pack for Fallout 4, called Automatron, will be priced at $9.99, and is going to be made available in March. According to Bethesda, Automatron features the mysterious Mechanist, who has released an army of evil robots into the Commonwealth.

It becomes your job to hunt down and kill the robots, which will give you powerful parts to craft new upgrades and weapons. There is even the ability to create and mod your own custom robot companion.

The second DLC pack is the Wasteland Workshop pack. This DLC will release in April, and be priced at $4.99. This DLC will give you the ability to design and set cages to trap wildlife. You can even capture and tame a Deathclaw if you are truly crazy.

Along with the animal capturing, Wasteland Workshop will feature many new design options for your settlements. This includes nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more.

The Far Harbor DLC releases in May

Lastly, Bethesda has revealed Far Harbor. This DLC will cost $24.99, and is releasing some time in May. This large story-based DLC revolves around a new detective case for Nick Valentine.

You'll end up travelling to an island off the coast of Maine to an island called Far Harbor. This island has heavy doses of radiation, which has created a more feral world. Expect to be thrown into a conflict between synths, the townsfolk of Far Harbor and the Children of Atom.

Bethesda has claimed that Far Harbor is the largest map of any DLC they have released in the past, with new faction quests, settlements, creatures and dungeons for players to explore.

Even more DLC is planned, and Bethesda says it will all end up being worth more than $60 in the end. Of course, if you want everything, Bethesda is also offering a Season Pass. This pass costs $29.99 currently, but will become $49.99 starting on March 1 to reflect the added content.

If you have purchased the Season Pass before March 1, you will still get everything Bethesda releases for Fallout 4 at no additional cost.

So what do you think? Are you interested in any of the DLC packs mentioned above? Will you be getting the Season Pass? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
