Fallout: New Vegas gets wild in Honest Hearts DLC trailer and screenshots

Bethesda offers a glimpse at next week's release

Words: Matt Bradford on May 11, 2011

Man-eating plants, pissed off tribesmen, and a dude that looks like Darkman are just a few of things you're guaranteed to encounter in Fallout: New Vegas' Honest Hearts DLC. Says who? Says our crack-team of analysts and psychics, that's who. Also, Bethesda's marketing team, who were kind enough to drop off new screenshots and a rather revealing trailer:

New Vegas' next chapter takes place within Utah's Zion National Park; a canyonous war zone populated by tribal raiders, mutated creatures and the enigmatic Burned Man. Players will need to run missions for these various factions sides in order to survive the brewing civil war, in the process, decide the fate of Zion.

Honest Hearts is the first of three announced DLC packs coming for Fallout: New Vegas. It will arrive on May 17th for Xbox 360 and PC, and "on the earliest date possible" for PSN. The next two add-ons, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road, are slated for release in June and July, respectively.

Have a gander at where you'll be headed next week in these new screenshots:

It has that tribal thing going on, just like Fallout 2! Sweet.

Are there moccasins in it? I'm always up for more fancy duds for my in-game avatars. That there's a nifty expansion to wear them in is yet another layer to that tasty cake. There had better be tomahawks in there, too. If not, they'd best make up for it with a bow-and-arrow set. The Burned Man had also best be appreciative of the person who turned Caesar into a pile of charred bits and possibly waste matter out there on the wasteland or else he's liable to get even more extra crispy up in that all-you-can-eat restaurant for scavengers. They might just have to send him back and ask for a refund.

Well given how many times New Vegas glitched and crashed on me, I'm afraid that these expansions are just going to have to suck my balls. Which is a shame as these may have been somewhat interesting. But can I really be bothered to replay the same part over and over again because the game didn't like how I walked upnsome stairs and decided to freeze my PS3? No. No I can't.

I bet that the Dark man dude was Caesars right hand man before the first battle for hover dam

I am looking forward to this DLC and I will definately play it as I am enjoying how there are running sub-plots between the main game and all the DLC so I want to find out what happens with those. That said, I'll be putting it on the backburner as L.A. Noire launches that same day and that looks much more interesting.

Looks like Point Lookout, but more Australian.

I thought I was looking forward to more Fallout DLC, but considering the ad for LA Noire came on before the trailer I realised my interest in the game is at an all time low. Doesn't help much that the trailer itself looked pretty uninspiring. Mmm more brown, lovely! Let me guess, you end up getting captured and all your inventory removed, given a catapult and a weak pistol, then it's up to you Courier to save Zion from X.

Is 'canyonous' a word?

@ElwoodFlore Go to Vault 21, and pickpocket the bubblegum in Sarah Weintraub's inventory. Only take the bubblegum, because she has an infinite amount of it. Oh, and you have to take one at a time. You can't just press "take" 50 times. Hope this helps! : )

hm, I'm bored of new vegas, and dead money being terrible didn't help, I haven't got high hopes for it but I'll probably buy it anyway if the price drops.
