Key Highlights:
- Fallout: London mod now available for free on GOG and Steam.
- Mod offers 90 hours of gameplay with 200 quests in a post-apocalyptic London setting.
- Compatibility issues with recent Fallout 4 update require workarounds.
The highly anticipated Fallout: London mod has finally arrived, offering fans a massive expansion to the Fallout 4 universe.
Developed by Team Folon, a collective of hobbyist and professional developers, this free mod is now available for download via GOG and is compatible with both GOG and Steam versions of Fallout 4.
Exploring Post-Apocalyptic London
Fallout: London transports players across the pond to a nuclear-ravaged British capital, promising a unique spin on the beloved post-apocalyptic franchise.
The mod boasts an impressive 90 hours of estimated gameplay, featuring 200 different quests and fully-voiced characters.
Players can expect to encounter a diverse cast including pompous parliamentary aristocrats, a resurrected Knights of the Round Table, and a radical cult of revolutionary idealists.
Team Folon’s official description emphasises the mod’s commitment to capturing London’s history and aesthetics while giving it an unmistakably nuclear twist.
A brand new launch trailer for the release of the game, narrated in Cockney rhyming slang (albeit by someone who sounds more Mancunian than Londoner), showcases the uniquely British take on the Fallout universe.
The trailer has been posted above, and by the end of watching the quick 3 minutes of footage, you should be craving to get this downloaded on your PC.
Launch Challenges: Compatibility Issues and Solutions
However, the launch hasn’t been without hiccups. The current version of Fallout: London is incompatible with the recent major update to Fallout 4.
To address this, GOG is offering a pre-patched version of Fallout 4 (currently at a 60% discount) along with a one-click installer for the mod.
Steam users face a slightly more complicated process. They’ll need to manually downgrade their version of Fallout 4 to play the mod.
Team Folon has provided a step-by-step guide on their website to assist with this process.
The timing of Fallout: London’s release could hardly be better. The recent success of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout TV series has reignited interest in the franchise.
With no new single-player title in the series on the immediate horizon from Bethesda, this expansive mod could help satisfy fans’ appetites for fresh content.
It’s worth noting that the developers are already working on making the mod compatible with the latest version of Fallout 4, though no release date for this update has been announced.
The arrival of Fallout: London marks the culmination of over five years of development.
Originally slated for an April release, the launch was delayed due to Bethesda’s recent patch. Surprisingly, this setback may have inadvertently positioned the mod to capitalise on the surge of interest following the TV show’s debut.
This new title offers an opportunity to experience the franchise through a distinctly British lens. Whether you’re intrigued by the idea of post-nuclear England or simply looking for more Fallout content, this ambitious mod promises a substantial and unique addition to the popular series.
