Gamers eagerly awaiting the "Fallout London" mod for "Fallout 4" have to mark a new date in their calendars, as the ambitious fan project is now set to launch in April 2024. This new release schedule comes shortly after the premiere of the "Fallout" show on Prime Video. While Team FOLON, the developers behind the mod, has announced the project as content-complete, additional testing is needed to ensure a high-quality experience at launch. The delay is also partially due to some team members being affected by regional conflict, which highlighted the need for reorganization and reskilling within the team.

The mod intends to take players to a post-apocalyptic London, differentiating itself from the traditional American settings of the "Fallout" series. Despite the next-gen patch for "Fallout 4" expected in 2024, Team FOLON has no immediate plans to release "Fallout London" on the updated version, acknowledging possible unanticipated changes to the game with Bethesda's upcoming patch.

Why was the release of Fallout London delayed?

The release was delayed due to the need for extensive testing to ensure a polished gaming experience and the impact of regional conflict on the development team's productivity, leading to a rescheduling to provide quality assurance and to align with the hype from the upcoming "Fallout" TV series.

"Fallout 4," originally released by Bethesda Game Studios in 2015, is a seminal entry in the open-world RPG genre. Set in a post-nuclear war setting, it allows players to explore and survive in a vast wasteland filled with dangers and stories. "Fallout London" aims to expand this universe by taking the setting across the Atlantic, offering fresh narratives and environments in a franchise known for its rich storytelling and player choice.
