Fallout London - Coming soon

[HiddenX]

PC Gamer presents the upcoming Fallout London mod:

One of the biggest Fallout modding projects in years is about to release, and if it goes wrong it could 'kill the Fallout modding scene'

Fallout: London is reaching the end of the line. Mind the gap.

Five years in, and Fallout: London is about ready to drop a bombshell. One of the most ambitious projects in the Fallout modding scene, FOLON (as it's known) is a "DLC-sized" attempt to transplant Fallout's familiar post-apocalypse from American shores to the bustling boroughs of London, complete with ghoul-ified bobbies and King's guards.

We called it the true best announcement of E3 all the way back in 2021, and now its cockney armageddon is so close you can taste the ashes. Its release is scheduled for April 23, after the team's Starfield-induced delay late last year. So, as I'm wont to do, I decided to knock on their door to see what working on the project has been like, and how they were feeling now that a half-decade of their life's work was about ready to bear fruit.

The answer? Nervous, excited, tired, energised. Like any development team on the cusp of releasing their baby out into the world, the FOLON team are stressed and apprehensive about just how fans will take to the project once it's freely available. But the team has an extra weight on its shoulders: If things go badly, this could end up killing the Fallout modding scene for good.

Barring no last minute delays I'll be playing this mod when it's released.

Is it a DLC for Fallout 4? Or kinda new game entirely? (The term DLC-sized confused me)

It's a total conversion mod for Fallout 4. Like Enderal for Skyrim.

This is literally the only way anyone could get me to endure the Fallout four engine again....the lure of London is just too strong for me to ignore.

Neither. It's a mod.

You know that reoccuring dlc vs expansion debate we seem to have every six months? It's telling that when modders announce projects like this, they always refer to it as "DLC sized", and you can be sure they're not telling us that it's going to be horse armor sized.

I probably won't play this myself, but I'll be curious to see what other Watchers think about it.

I'm not generally a fan of total conversion mods. Off the top of my head, the only one I really like is The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos.
