The first DLC dubbed "Automatron" will roll out in March. Based on its backstory, Mechanist released a bunch of evil robots including the Robobrain. The player's task is to hunt these robots down and gather some of their parts in order to build and modify a custom robot companion.

The second DLC is called the "Wasteland Workshop." It is scheduled for an April release and costs $5. The "Wasteland Workshop" will allow players to design and set cages for them to be able to capture some of the game's monsters. Players will have the ability to tame the monsters or release them against other human players. The "Wasteland Workshop" also includes a handful of new settlement design options.

The last, and probably the most important, DLC that Bethesda is planning to release is called the "Far Harbor." The DLC will hit shelves in May and will cost $25. The DLC includes a new plot and storyline.

According to Bethesda's official release notes, "A new case from Valentine's Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world."

While the upcoming "Fallout 4" DLCs might put some gamers on the edge of their seats, the same cannot be said to the game's Season Pass which was received mostly with negative criticisms.

Bethesda is increasing the price of "Fallout 4" Season Pass from $29.99 to $49.99 starting March 1. Bethesda claims that the Season Pass contains at least $60 worth of DLCs, hence the decision to increase its price.
