One of 2015's most anticipated games, "Fallout 4," isn't due out for another two months, but Bethesda has already announced details regarding the first DLC update.

Bethesda is still working on the actual "Fallout 4" game so there are no specific details about the content or nature of the first DLC yet. The first DLC is expected to arrive sometime in 2016.

The company announced that they will be offering a $30 Season Pass that will give players access to all the upcoming DLC that will be released.

The Season Pass will give players at least $40 worth of game updates, similar to what the company has done with their other games including "Oblivion," "Fallout 3" and "Skyrim."

For "Fallout 3," Bethesda released five DLC expansion updates, including new quests, achievements and items. According to GameSpot, Bethesda is likely to do the same for "Fallout 4."

Aside from paid DLC expansions, Bethesda has announced that there will also be regular free updates to the game. The updates will include not only fixes but also new features. Bethesda also hopes to be able to collaborate with the players of the game. "We'll work with all of you to figure out what new things you'd love to see added to 'Fallout 4,' whether they are small tweaks or new features," according to the game developers.

"Fallout 4" will also remain open and moddable, according to Bethesda. In early 2016, they will release a new "Creation Kit" for the PC. Players will be able to create their own mods and share their creations with other players. After some time, the mods will also become available to Xbox One and PS4 players.

GameSpot also reported that marketing executive, Pete Hines, had revealed that "Fallout 4" has been "basically done" since July, and has spent the past month fixing bugs and polishing the game.

For the next two months, before the release of the game, Bethesda is no longer releasing details about "Fallout 4's" story. "We're going to let everybody experience that in the game as much as possible," Hines told IGN.

Fans will be able to discover everything there is to know about the game come November. "Fallout 4" is set to be released on Nov. 10 to the PC, Xbox One and PS4 consoles.
