As the launch date for Bethesda's upcoming "Fallout 4" nears, more details and information about the highly anticipated game are expected. It has been reported that more XP levels have been added to the new game, and each will feature a perk.

According to the Official Xbox Magazine, Bethesda's "Fallout 4" will have around 275 XP levels for the players to enjoy. The way players will be able to access this is when they continue playing the game as each perk achieved will contain its own XP level.

"You'll still level up via XP, and each level increase will still give you a point to spend on a perk, but now those perks have varying XP levels of their own," stated a Bethesda spokesperson.

The official added that "should you theoretically play long enough to max out every tier of every single one gaining untold buffs and no doubt all kinds of horrendous real-world illnesses in the process - you'll top off with a total of 275."

This essentially means that "Fallout 4" will have more playing time as opposed to its predecessor as there will be more incentives each time a player levels up, adding more game time.

Aside from the new XP levels, not too many details have been revealed by the developer. Vice president and head for public relations, Pete Hines, has been very secretive when it comes to leaks about the upcoming game.

In fact, Bethesda has been very tight-lipped when it comes to the storyline and other information about the video game and Hines said they intend to keep it that way.

"Fallout 4" was only revealed in June with a launch set in November, unlike other triple AAA games that are usually announced a year or two in advance before its actual release date.

Given how big the title is, "Fallout 4" still fell victim to leaks and two years ago, someone uploaded scripts of the upcoming game's voiceover to the internet. No other leaks have come out about the game since then, except for the incident this year when a gameplay demo was actually uploaded to a porn site.

When asked how Hines and Bethesda address leaks, the PR head's answer was simple. He attributed it to hope that no one will leak their work.

"Hope. There's no special... you tell as few people as possible and you hope nobody says anything. There's no magic formula to avoid anything," Hines told PC Power Play.

"Fallout 4" will be available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on Nov. 10.
