Bethesda Softworks has announced three downloadable content packs will be released in the coming months for Fallout: New Vegas. The three packs will be released simultaneously for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.

Available on May 17, Honest Hearts takes players on an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah's Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when the caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As players try to find a way back to the Mojave, they become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man.

In Old World Blues, releasing in June, players will discover how some of the Mojave’s mutated monsters came to be when players unwittingly become a lab rat in a science experiment gone awry. Players will need to scour the Pre-War research centers of the Big Empty in search of technology to turn the tables on your kidnappers or join forces with them against an even greater threat.

Lonesome Road, available in July, brings the courier's story full circle when players are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job – a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms.

All downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas will be available for download on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points, the PlayStation Network for $9.99, and both Steam and Direct2Drive for $9.99.
