Prepare for a religious awakening with Wasteland 3's next update, Cult of the Holt Detonation
During the Xbox Gamescom Showcase, Inxile Entertainment were on hand to show off the next and final content release for Wasteland 3, the Cult of the Holy Detonation, which is set to launch on Xbox, PC and PlayStation on October 5, check out the reveal trailer below.
Set within the bowels of Cheyenne Mountain, the home of the Stargate, mutated cultists worship, what they believe to be an ancient deity, but is in fact a nuclear explosion trapped in stasis. Whether god, science experiment, or accidental miracle, the Detonation's energy could power Colorado Springs for hundreds of years, or level it in an instant. The warring cults have differing opinions on who should be allowed to honor their god, and you’re going to have to muscle your way to the altar.
Cult of the Holy Detonation expands the Wasteland 3 experience with entry into the Cheyenne Mountain complex, crammed with new characters, enemies, challenging combat encounters, and powerful new weapons and armour. Your squad of Rangers will be tested like never before in objective-based encounters that put a creative spin on the already deeply tactical turn-based combat. As they face overwhelming odds, the Rangers will need to shut down reactors, clear ventilation systems, and engage defensive countermeasures to stem an unending tide of dangerous mutants and machines within the dilapidated military bunker.
The update is included in the season pass, which also provides access to The Battle of Steel Town expansion, but if you are coming in fresh then the Wasteland 3 Colorado Collection will be your best bet, as it comes with both expansions and the base game, all for a discounted price.
If you have Xbox Game Pass, the base game is available there, with members then getting a discount on buying the expansions.
