Even if the The Pitt, the next DLC for Fallout 3, has been delayed a month, new info has been revealed for this expansion. The Pitt will take gamers to the industrial raider town of the same name, located in the remains of Pittsburgh.
But the latest issue of U.K. Official Xbox 360 Magazine has revealed new details of the location and features of this level. Although Pittsburgh was not hit directly by an atomic bomb, the surrounding water became radiated making the people change in bad ways. As a result, Pittsburgh's industrial district is an abandoned steel yard divided into two major areas: the downtown, occupied by slaves; and the Haven, a zone ruled by their masters. Apparently The Pitt will be accessed via underground railroad.
The magazine also revealed the first info on what will players will have to do in The Pitt. A new major quest will have players taking on the role of a slave who must investigate if rumors of a cure for mutation has been found by no other than the Raiders boss.
One screenshot in the article also revealed the "Auto Axe" weapon, which features circular blades on some sort of motor that you swing. The Pitt will be released in March 2009 on Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live. Check out the first two images of the new DLC below (thanks Assassin10k):
