Fallout: London, the massive fan-madeFallout 4mod set in Poundland Prime (No Elephants, Some Castles, Canary Wharfare) has finally got a release date. Happy days, it’s actually today, Thursday 25th July. The news comes fromInverse, who’ve sent their dear alsatian companions sniffing around the mod’s Discord. Yesterday, Team FOLON lead Dean Carter shared the song I Just Can’t Wait (For Tomorrow) then, when sniffed at harder, confirmed that the ‘Tomorrow’ part meant tomorrow (as in, today), “Unless nuclear war happens.”

Originally set to releaseback in Aprilafter five years in development, Fallout: London was delayed indefinitely thanks to a chaotic’next-gen' updatethatbroke a lot of modsand generally made people quite unhappy. It is, of course, oh-so-easy to adopt the misinformed stance that that big bad Bethesda clumsily got in the way of people trying to make their game interesting. So, anyway: Bethesda messed everything up for the people trying to make their game interesting, and the team had to delay things so they didn’t break.
More recently, Team Folon senta build to GOGfor testing, and it turned out that they still couldn’t get London and the next-gen update to play nice together. As such, players will need todowngrade their copies of Fallout 4to run the mod. No hassle - London will ship with a custom installer that also does the downgrading for you.
“GOG have been amazing through all of this. To be honest, we’ve been the ones causing them the issue,” Carter told the Discord, viaVG247. “What with us having things break due to the next-gen [update] and then needing the 3rd parties to update, then waiting for them to be fixed, only for the fact that at the 11th hour we’ve discovered that the next-gen [version of Fallout 4], even after updates, isn’t stable enough and thus we are now going out on the old version - [hence] the need for a downgrader.”
Anyways, that’s all in the past now, and Fallout: London looks to be playable and set to arrive just in time for the weekend. You can find the mod on GOGhere. Oh, and if you missed the other good Bethesda news, Bestheda Game Studiosannounced a ‘wall-to-wall’ unionthis week.
