Summary
Falloutas a franchise has been through highs and lows recently, but the resurgence ofFallout 76was and still is an interesting phenomenon, where Bethesda managed to keep the game updated and improve it at every turn to make it the best it’s ever been. WhileFallout 5is most likely very far out, consideringThe Elder Scrolls 6just moved into full production after the release ofStarfield, with it possibly coming closer to 2030, it doesn’t mean there won’t be any juice left forFalloutfans. In fact, April 2024 is looking like a big month forFalloutenjoyers thanks to the Prime Video series debuting early on, but now a recent announcement from a fan-made project is making April 23 a huge date to mark on the calendar.
One of the biggest pros of Bethesda games is that they typically come with mod support, which has increasedSkyrim’s lifespan extensively, with the 2011 title still being played a lot to this day.Fallout 4also received plenty of love via fan-made mods, which essentially act as ongoing support for an otherwise 8-year-old game. Further supporting Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG is theFallout: Londonmod coming in April 2024, possibly one of the largest ever made, including plenty of new features, quests, locations, and companions - and it’s the first ever totakeFalloutoutside of the United States.
What to Expect From Fallout: London in 2024
Why April 23 is a Big Day for Fallout Players
Fallout: Londonis a DLC-sized mod coming from Team FOLON, a group of modders, 3D artists, writers, voice actors, and more. To keep true to the mod’s name,Fallout: Londonallows players to explore Londonand a total of 15 of its boroughs:
Fallout: Londonwill have its own factions and main story, working pretty much like a new game experience where players can expect everything from a typicalFalloutrelease, including new weapons, places to explore, and some post-apocalypse fun. The game mod is set to release with a total of:
Given thatfactions likeFallout: London’s Gentryall have their own in-universe goals, players can expect to make some important choices about who gets to rule the city of London and how the story evolves from there. The mod will also contain brand-new assets to better convey the experience of exploring a futuristic, post-apocalyptic London, also sporting an exclusive soundtrack.
Fallout: Londonis not only about exploration, though, and it features heavy changes to some gameplay aspects of the originalFallout 4, such as a revamped crafting system, a massively changed perk and dialogue system (including skill checks), a new Pip Boy-adjacent system, and new travel options ranging from taxis to boats. Not only that, though, asFallout: Londonalso comes with dynamic weather, new mechanics for swimming, in-game musical instruments that can be played, and more.
In typicalFalloutfashion, players can also expect over 100 new weapons, over 500 clothing options, 29 races, and a plethora of handcrafted assets to make the experience much more immersive, such as graffiti or British architecture. WhileFallout: Londonis releasing on April 23 2024entirely for free, the catch is that Team FOLON is only planning on releasing it on PC for the time being. There is no indication of whether this massive mod will find its way onto consoles, but fans shouldn’t hold their breath about it.
