Summary
Ahead ofFallout 4’s upcoming next-gen update, the highly anticipated modFallout: Londonhas confirmed that it is delaying its April 23 release date. The release of anyFallout 4update has the potential to break mods, and theFallout: Londonteam is just getting ahead of any issues that may occur.
The modding scene forFallout 4is one of the most dedicated for any game. It is extremely similar toSkyrimin this regard, with the modding community keeping the game alive far beyond its initial launch date. Some, likeFallout: London, are incredibly ambitious large-scale mods, often the size of a DLC or bigger. Others are much smaller, adding small details to the world, such as theFallout 4mod that added Lucy’s pistolfrom the popular TV adaptation. Downloading lots of these smaller mods can have a massive impact on the game, even if they’re not too big on their own.
In a video posted to YouTube,Fallout: Londonconfirmed that its previous April 23 release date has now been indefinitely delayed. This is because theupcomingFallout 4next-gen updateis set for release on April 25, and will almost certainly break a bunch of mods needed forFallout: Londonto function correctly. The biggest issue seems to be theFallout 4Script Extender, which is essential for many complex mods for the game to work. ForFallout: London, the Script Extender breaking will result in several UI and dialogue systems needing to be updated immediately, and a delay is better than frustrating players who are playing through the mod.
Fallout: London Delayed Due to Fallout 4’s Next-Gen Update
The developer also stresses that theFallout 4next-gen update is still a good thing for the mod, as it should result in performance increases thatFallout: Londoncan still benefit from, despite the inconvenience. With ambitions to be among thebestFallout 4mods,Fallout: Londonhas decided that a delay is better than sticking to the release date. No specific date has been given for the launch, with the developer confirming that the issues could be fixed on the first day, week, or month. It was also confirmed that the mod won’t be hosted on Nexus Mods due to the file size ofFallout: London, which currently sits at around “30 to 40GB,” according to the developer. Instead, it will be hosted on GOG for gamers who ownFallout 4on PC.
The success of theFalloutTV show has put the series back on the map at the moment. Right now, theentireFalloutseries is getting a big player count boost, with new and returning fans of the franchise jumping back into various titles for another wasteland adventure. While anotherFalloutgame is likely years away at this point, it’s still great to see the series have a resurgence in this way.
