The Long-Awaited Mod is Here!
The highly anticipated mod, Fallout: London, has finally been released. This extensive fan project expands the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4 beyond the confines of America, transporting players to a ravaged version of London. Available for free download on GOG, Fallout: London is also compatible with the Steam version of Fallout 4, albeit with some prerequisites regarding game version compatibility.
So What is Fallout: London?
Fallout: London is a labor of love from Team FOLON, a dedicated group of modders who have been working on this project since 2019. The mod introduces a completely new location and storyline to the Fallout universe, featuring fully voiced characters and over 200 unique quests. Players can expect around 90 hours of gameplay in this ambitious expansion.
The developers describe the mod as follows: “True to its moniker, Fallout: London takes place in London. From stuffy parliamentary aristocrats to a resurrection of the Knights of the Round Table to an uncompromising cult of revolutionaries (and more!), Fallout: London embodies the history and aesthetics of London and puts an unmistakably nuclear spin on the beloved city.”
Fallout PC: Expanding the Franchise
The release of Fallout: London comes at a time when the Fallout franchise is enjoying renewed attention. While Bethesda has yet to announce a new single-player Fallout game, the brand continues to thrive with expansions like Fallout 76’s latest update and the upcoming Shattered Space expansion for Starfield. Additionally, the Fallout series has found success on the small screen with an excellent live-action adaptation on Amazon Prime Video, which has been renewed for a second season.
