Minecraft Fallout DLC launches with MASSIVE Xbox One, PS4 UPDATE
BETHESDA and Mojang team up for the Minecraft and Fallout mash-up, complete with new skins, items and lots more.
Fallout and Minecraft have come together for brand new Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, PlayStation Vita and Wii U DLC.
The brand new Minecraft and Fallout mash-up packfeatures 44 skins, which are based on characters like Fawkes, Nick Valentine, Tinker Tom, Paladin Cross, Jangles The Moon Monkey and Vault Boy.
That's on top of a Fallout-inspired UI overhaul, which is based on the Pip Boy device. The soundtrack, meanwhile, features familiar tunes from the Fallout series.
A Mojang spokesperson said: "Working in the depths of their bunker complex, our artists and builders have been busy blasting Minecraft’s glorious overworld into an irradiated wasteland fit for Fallout fans to wander.
"Friendly cows, gently sauteed in the light of a thousand suns, have now sprouted second heads, while the familiar supersized spiders have made way for other overgrown arachnids, who scuttle through the dark wielding brutal stingers.
"These are not the only mobs to get a little bit melty. Lurking in the shadow of the series’ familiar landmarks - like the Capitol building or Tenpenny Tower - are ghouls, mutants and madmen of many kinds. Vault Dwellers beware: you may be S.P.E.C.I.A.L., but the wasteland is a very dangerous place indeed."
The Fallout and Minecraft mash-up pack launches alongside a Christmas update (version 1.39 on PS4), which adds new features like flying to the console versions of the game.
You can check out all of Minecraft's new Fallout skins and items below:
Here’s what's included in the new Minecraft Christmas update:
- Flying is coming to the Console Editions.
- To fly, you need to equip a new item called Elytra.
- You can find the Elytra in “The End” realm.
- Mojang and partner 4J Studios have updated The End with End Cities and End Ships.
- You can craft new potions, like Lingering potions, using Dragon’s Breath.
- Minecraft now has new status effects: Levitation and Luck.
- Amplified Terrain option when starting a new world on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 increases the differences between valleys and mountains. This is for getting the most out of the Elytra.
Fallout 4 Mods allows gamers to create their own content
