The long-awaited release of Fallout: London is only a few months away
After much anticipation, a Fallout 4 mod dubbed Fallout: London has a release date. The Fallout franchise is one of the most well-known RPG franchises in the world. The series has been running for decades and has taken us across the United States following the devastation caused by a series of nukes. The series’ aesthetic is timeless, which makes it incredibly exciting to keep playing, especially since Bethesda has made an effort to shake up locations and provide unique perspectives on this post-apocalyptic world.
There’s a long list of locations in the Fallout universe that fans want to see, but with Fallout 5 likely not coming out for another ten years at best, we shouldn’t expect to see the entire United States in the Fallout universe anytime soon.
That being said, modders are assisting in the expansion of the world outside of the United States in significant ways. For quite some time, Team FOLON has been working on Fallout: London, a completely new experience within Fallout 4. Fans have been anticipating its release for quite some time. The team admitted that it needs a little more time to ensure that it’s as good as it can be, but the mod will be released on April 23rd, 2024. A trailer and team statement are available below.
“Despite being content-complete as planned, upon careful consideration, we’ve recognized that our testing process may not be as robust as we desire,” it states. “To be candid, the main factor influencing this decision lies in the composition of our scripting team. A significant portion of our team members come from a region affected by conflict, which has understandably impacted their focus on the mod. As such, it caused us to fall behind schedule.
“Only through a clever reorganization and reskilling of team members have we managed to catch up, but it has come at the cost of testing. Our commitment is to provide you with a polished and as-close-to-a-flawless experience as we can. We only get one chance at a first release. We aim to deliver a memorable Fallout: London experience and wish to avoid any release issues, such as those that have plagued other community or industry projects recently.”
It’s unclear whether any of the official Fallout games will be released outside of the United States. We have no idea where Fallout 5 will take place, but there are plenty of options. Fallout nuked a large portion of the world, so it’s just a matter of which location stands out as the most intriguing to Bethesda.
