Shocking: Fallout: London Not on Epic Games Store at Launch

Jul 15, 2024 9:49 AM

Fallout: London, an ambitious full conversion mod for Fallout 4, will not be compatible with copies purchased through the Epic Games Store at launch. The mod requires players to downgrade Fallout 4 to a version before the next-gen update, a feature Epic Games Store does not support. The GOG store will offer compatibility due to its rollback feature, and work is underway to offer support for Steam versions. However, compatibility with next-gen versions for Epic purchasers may occur later.

Why won't Fallout: London work with Epic Games Store copies of Fallout 4 at launch?n

Fallout: London requires downgrading Fallout 4 to a pre-next-gen update version, a feature not supported by the Epic Games Store, unlike GOG, which offers a convenient rollback option.

Fallout: London is an eagerly awaited mod for Fallout 4, promising a richly detailed post-apocalyptic London experience with new factions and quests. The team faced setbacks due to Fallout 4's next-gen update but continues to work towards a comprehensive release. GOG and Steam users are advised to keep an eye out for updates on mod compatibility.
