The highly anticipated Fallout London mod has been indefinitely delayed due to concerns that the upcoming Fallout 4 next-gen update will cause compatibility issues. Bethesda recently announced an April 25 release date for the long-awaited update, just two days after the previously announced April 23 release date for Fallout London. The modding team behind Fallout London expressed their frustration and fear that all their hard work over the past four years could be jeopardized by the upcoming game update.
The Fallout London team is waiting for the creators of the Fallout 4 script extender to issue compatibility fixes before they can release the mod. Without communication with Bethesda, the team was caught off guard by the release date of the next-gen update, leading to the indefinite delay. Despite the setback, project lead Dean Carter remains optimistic, believing that any engine improvements and performance upgrades from the update will benefit the mod in the long run. The mod, set in London, promises a unique exploration of pre-war European history and introduces new elements to the Fallout universe, such as aristocrats, knights, and revolutionaries.
The delay of Fallout London is a disappointment for both the modding team and eager players, who were looking forward to experiencing a different side of the Fallout series. Carter’s reference to the classic Fallout quote, “War never changes,” acknowledges the challenges faced by modders in keeping up with game updates. Despite the setbacks, the Fallout London team remains dedicated to delivering a high-quality experience once compatibility issues are resolved, offering players a unique and immersive journey through post-apocalyptic London.
