'Dead Money' Expansion for Fallout: New Vegas Hits LIVE on December 21st

The amazingly huge hit, Fallout: New Vegas has sold over five million copies since it launched last month for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. And now that massive amount of wasteland wanderers will have a new adventure to take on as Bethesda has announced the first in what I assume will be a long line of quality (if Fallout 3 is any indication) DLC,  Dead Money.

As the victim of a raw deal you must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino. In Dead Money, your life hangs in the balance as you face new terrain, foes, and choices. It is up to you how you play your cards in the quest to survive.

Dead Money will be released December 21st for 800mspts, no word yet on  PSN version.

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humour and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.

Reviews of Fallout: New Vegas have called the game as “an utterly essential purchase” (MSN UK) and as “addictively, rambunctiously fun” (Entertainment Weekly). The Associated Press awarded it a 4 out of 4 stars and said “Bottom Line: It’s a Blast”, while GameSpy gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and called Fallout: New Vegas “one of the best games of the year.”

Published by Bethesda Softworks and developed at Obsidian Entertainment, Dead Money will be available for 800 Microsoft points.
