Fallout 4 News and Rumors: Game Expansions May Include 'Nuka World'

Fans of the hugely popular Fallout 4 have stumbled upon an interesting text within the game's files suggesting that the fourth installment of the post-apocalyptic game franchise may include an expansion titled 'Nuka World.' If the uncovered files are of any indication, Bethesda may be developing a Nuka theme park for its upcoming DLC following the release of Far Harbor.

According to a data miner on Reddit, the text code contains the reference 'DLCNukaWorld.esm'- the '.esm' file extension looks quite legit since Bethesda typically uses '.esm' for its main game files suggesting a certain degree of credibility.

So what does this interesting data find suggest?

The seemingly unanimous speculation among fans and observers suggests a Nuka-themed amusement park with striking resemblance to a real-life Hershey Park according to iDigital Times. 'Nuka World' is imagined to feature refreshing Nuka Cola instead of chocolates as the main attraction with Nuka Cola factory where players engage in a challenging quest in search for the lost Nuka Cola recipe. However, these are mere speculations based on the purported name of the DLC so everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

The data miner seemed to have also unearthed two other content add-ons labeled as DLCWorkshop02 and DLCWorkshop03, Tech Spot reported. If rumors prove accurate, the two expansions could be Wasteland Workshop's follow-ups featuring a slew of new items with options for customizations.

If the purported post-launch DLC includes 'Nuka World' following earlier releases of other major expansions such as Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, and Far Harbor, then Bethesda's price increase of its Fallout 4 season pass may have been justified as per Game Rant. The game developer explained last time that with a slight price increase comes with a lot more content for the entire year.

Meanwhile, any official information on the highly speculated 'Nuka World' DLC remains extremely scarce. The best guess is that the company may announce the new expansion at Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference this June.
