Three packs to round out New Vegas' story over the next couple of months.
UPDATE: Bethesda has confirmed the DLC will not add a Broken Steel-esque post-campaign quest.
"None of the upcoming DLCs will allow you to play beyond the main quest," said the company on its message boards.

With save game funny business reportedly sorted out, those desiring more adventures in the Wasteland can start anticipating three downloadable expansions for Fallout: New Vegas. There are three packs arriving between now and July, one per month: Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road.
The first pack, Honest Hearts, arrives on May 17, and drops Vault Dwellers into a tribal war within Utah's Zion National Park after being raided. You'll also encounter someone named the Burned Man.
In June (Bethesda has not specified a specific release date), Old World Blues pits you and a bunch of pre-war technology against a bunch of Mojave creatures scarred and changed by various experiments.
Finally, Lonesome Road rounds out the world of expandable New Vegas in July. This one will "bring the courier's story full circle," as players are contacted by the original Courier Six, Ulysses, to learn more about the Platinum Chip and why one would decide to refuse delivering it.
There's no indication any expansion will have the same effect as Fallout 3's Broken Steel, which let you continue after the main campaign. As Lonesome Road could possibly fit that profile, I've asked.
All three packs will arrive simultaneously on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Can't argue with large statues of two dudes shaking hands.
@EgoCheck616: Well you did pay for it in November what you get paid once a year?Jaja just kidding most likely it will be big back story and seeing as Obsidian said they wouldn't pull a Broken Steel(letting you play after you beat it)just shows it will be back story as the main Courier's story is already told it's just the other couriers you get to meet.
Please tell me the burned man will be Nicholas Cage's character from Wicker Man, post burning of course. If only so I can have the hope that he will be a companion character who is dressed in a bear suit and be exceptionally good at punching women.
Still not finished this (over 200hours in!) but will get back to it in the summer, I guess, when there is not so much other stuff out. I need another life to play all the stuff i've got at the moment.
Still love the Fallout experience more than any other.
As awesome as those three pieces if DLC sound, I'm looking forward to an announcement of some sort of GOTY version to be honest. After a winter marathon of NV, I'm totally fine with going back to it in a year.
FINALLY we get to meet The Burning Man! That guy got talked about ALL through NV, and you never meet him. I was really hoping they'd correct that in DLC.
@patrickklepek: The Burned Man had some significance in the main story of Fallout: New Vegas. The Burned Man was Caesar's first Legate who messed up the first attack on the Hoover Dam so his prize was to take a trip down a canyon while on fire.
Caesar's known for his sympathy, or so I'm told. Maybe this isn't significant at all, but whatever.
There is absolutely zero chance any of the DLC will allow you to continue post-2nd Battle of Hoover Dam.
The Mojave is so irreparably changed through your actions, or inactions, it would be unfeasible to show some of these. (For example, the Omertas blowing up a significant portion of The Strip)
Can't fucking wait for these! I had a feeling Honest Hearts would be out the 17th. It would be kind of weird for Bethesda to release it on the same day as Brink.
