Last year, around this time, I wrote a feature arguing that Starfield, with its perfectly OK, but a bit synthetic and cold universe, was 2023’s actual game of the year.
]]>You know all those games we were talking about potentially being the thing this year around the time that Geoff Keighley was putting on his best corporate forced smile and preparing to take to the stage at The Game Awards?
]]>While some of them have been taking a little longer to arrive than first planned, Fallout: London's post release patches have certainly been delivering plenty of fixes, and the next one, patch 1.03, will be taking things to a whole new level - arriving alongside the massive mod's first bits of DLC.
]]>Fallout: London, the massive Fallout 4 mod that's recently gained some pretty stiff competition in the 'cool radiation-themed things that people love, but suffered from some gnarly launch bugs' department thanks to Stalker 2, featured some really interesting cameos.
]]>Atomfall, the upcoming game from Sniper Elite developer Rebellion that a lot of folks are be looking to for another fix of British post-apocalypse with a radioactive tinge to it that isn't quite an official Fallout take on our sad little island, now has a proper release date. It's arriving on March 25, 2025, as fresh trailer with very English countryside vibes conveys.
]]>It's October 23, aka Fallout Day, and the folks behind massive mod Fallout: London have elected to celebrate in their own special way - by officially revealing that their creation has now been grabbed on GOG/com by over a million players.
]]>The big Fallout: London update that's been brewing for a little while, Patch 1.02, finally arrives today, October 18. It's bringing with it a huge amount of fixes and tweaks as previously teased, and drops around the time the mod's closing in on having been picked up a million times.
]]>It's been a little while since Fallout: London last got a fresh patch, but Team FOLON's now offered an update explaining what it's been working on with regards to Patch 1.02. Long story short, some extra help's been drafted in to help improve how it performs, and you shoudn't have to wait too much longer to check the fixes out in-game.
]]>Team FOLON, Fallout: London’s creators, have long been open about their desire for people to create mods that put fresh twists on or add stuff to their massive mod, and they’ve now done a bit of leading by example in that regard, with a mod that injects some chaos into your playthrough via Baldur's Gate 3-esque dice rolls.
]]>Fallout: London’s massive, but naturally there’s still some stuff that didn’t quite make it into the Fallout 4 mod. For example, in addition to the whole cut Wild Card questline that’ll be arriving in a future update, the team had a go at making rideable horses and bikes.
]]>“Don’t.”
]]>The first big patch for Fallout: London has now arrived and is full of fixes for the various technical teething issues which afflicted the launch version of the mod, just as Team FOLON had said it would be.
]]>Fallout: London has been a big hit with fans, and it sounds like the team that made it wants to stick together to make their own games.
]]>My skeleton has become detached from my body. It looks quite painful. Whenever I crouch, I find myself staring directly into a patch of my own crimson innards. I think it’s my ribcage, and it’s stopping me from being able to see the prison guards I’m trying to stealth kill from the first-person view. It’s not the end of the world. I switch to the third-person view, keep calm, and carry on what’s largely been a wonderful adventure through post-apocalyptic London.
]]>“I studied at University College London where they have the Jeremy Bentham auto-icon and the whole concept of that is weird,” Fallout: London project manager Dean ‘Prilladog’ Carter tells me.
]]>Paying for mods. If you’ve ever said those three words to anyone who plays games or makes mods for them, odds are you got a pretty strongly held opinion in response, or at least an acknowledgment that - as many Facebook relationship statuses say - it’s complicated.
]]>Fallout: London, the DLC-sized mod — which is a complete lie given how gargantuan this mod is — from Team FOLON launched on July 25. Now that the team at VG247 has had enough time to wet their appetites and see what this highly-anticipated mod is all about, we decided to discuss and share a few of our favorite things across post-apocalyptic London.
]]>So you’ve wandered into Fallout: London’s Westminster and found yourself headed for the Palace, only to be turned away until you have a petition full of signatures from London’s wacky array of leaders. You spend your time doing just that, only for it to, well, be for nothing. As you venture down beneath the ‘Palace’, the All to Pot quest begins.
]]>As you finally reach the borough of Westminster in Fallout: London, you’ll find that life there is a little more pleasant than it is across the rest of the city. There are no ghastly mutations around each and every corner, nor are there any hostile factions trying to kill you. Though, there are plenty of posh toffs that’ll comment on how you stink. The folk at Westminster University, however, are quite nice.
]]>This might surprise you, but Fallout: London - the big Fallout 4 mod - is proving pretty popular among Fallout modders who aren’t part of Team FOLON. Some of the bigger New Vegas fans among them have even started bringing that game’s faction rep and disguise systems to Blighty.
]]>As you might be aware, massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London managed to recruit some pretty big names to go alongside its core voice acting pool.
]]>As you progress with the main quest in Fallout: London and eventually wind up in the borough of Westminster, where things are slightly rosier and less ruined than the rest of London, your next goal will be accessing the Palace of Westminster. Of course, these folk aren’t going to let you walk right in, and you will need signatures from the leaders of all four London boroughs to be let inside.
]]>Fallout: London has its fair share of issues, and despite them, the mod — which applies a British overhaul to Fallout 4 — is brilliant fun. As you progress with the main quest and strive to find out who you are and what the hell is going on in post-apocalyptic London, you’ll eventually arrive in Westminster where there’s been another train crash.
]]>If you’ve run into a door you can’t get through while exploring the English capital in massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London, as anyone who’s played more than a few hours almost certainly has, you may well have unknowingly stumbled across a location used by a cut main quest line. The arc in question is a Fallout New Vegas-style Wild Card option, and it’s set to be deployed properly in a future update.
]]>Massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has had a launch filled with plenty of technical teething issues that have impacted a lot of players’ attempts to delve right into Ol’Blighty right out of the gate.
]]>Fallout: London is a wasteland; one that's full of danger and precarious situations. But as you pop out into post-apocalyptic London, you arrive with a bang after your train crashes off its rails somewhere near Greenwich. The crash takes its toll, of course, leaving you with the Railway Spine and Lab Rat afflictions to cure.
]]>In your irradiated adventure across Fallout: London you meet an array of wacky characters and, as you’d be right to expect from any massive RPG, you can recruit a few of them to become your companions. After all, being a lone wanderer can be hard work, so having some company isn’t a bad idea.
]]>As you explore the British wasteland of Fallout: London, you’ll meet plenty of characters to love and loathe. Some of the folk you run into can tag along as your companions too, if you play your cards right, and having a companion is a pretty good idea. They can carry your stuff and take aggro for you, but of course, some of them can be liabilities.
]]>One of the most impressive things about Fallout: London is just how much stuff there is to collect. Before you’ve been exploring long, your pockets are sure to be full to bursting with junk for crafting and shiny equipment.
]]>In the time I've spent with it so far one of my favourite things about massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London are its fun little parodies and jokes about iconic UK brands and staples. However, there's one parody company you'll find throughout post-apocalyptic England that I'd argue doesn't feel like it fits in as well as others, and I'm clearly not alone, as there's already a mod to swap it out.
]]>As you frolic around Fallout: London, seeking out unusual call boxes, dolls, and plenty of strange folk, you can also encounter multiple companions to come on your journey with you. One such companion who doesn’t shut up is Arthur Mountbatten, a smartly-dressed ghoul that has found himself in a bizarre predicament.
]]>Fallout: London has a few companions for you to meet that you certainly won’t forget in a hurry. One that you can find a few hours into the game is Keira. Trapped in the Bank of England’s Vault with some brainless Ghouls for company, Keira is more than happy to invite herself along on our adventure once we rescue her.
]]>As you make your way through the Rads and rubble of post-apocalyptic London, it isn’t too long before you wind up at the Bank of England in Fallout: London. A key location during the Heaven Slayer quest and running rampant with hooligans, it becomes your job to show these folk who is boss while looting gold bars and key cards.
]]>Following its release, those delving into massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London have been faced with a number of teething issues. The good news is that the modders are very much on the case and have been busy prepping fixes, though it's taken an outside modder to help those whose characters can't stop munching on pet food.
]]>As you stumble out of a secret underground bunker at the start of Fallout: London, it doesn’t seem like things can get any worse. But as your first tube ride ends very, very abruptly in a horrifying crash, you’re left debilitated with the “Railway Spine” affliction.
]]>Fallout: London is a full DLC-sized mod, packed with loot to discover and quests to complete. Some of the best parts in official Bethesda RPGs always come from the side quests and Fallout: London is no different, with tons of interesting characters - each with their own backstory - waiting to meet the Lab Rat Wanderer around every corner.
]]>As you step foot in post-apocalyptic London and explore all that Fallout: London has to offer, one thing you certainly do not want to neglect are Perks. These function as additional Skills for your character to unlock, improving their capabilities in combat, chem-consuming, conversation, and much more.
]]>As you wake up in a strange laboratory in Fallout: London, being gawked at by two goggled scientists, you are presented with the option to select some starting Traits for your character. This is where your character’s journey begins and you can start morphing them into an agile brawler, careful assassin, or whatever else your headcanon conjures up.
]]>Archie is one of multiple companions you can recruit and befriend in Fallout: London, and while he can be quite amusing, you’re likely better off with any companion other than this young boy. He does a whole lot of flailing around and screaming, and frankly, the novelty wears off quite quickly. He’s a good lockpick, though!
]]>Fallout: London, a fan-made mod for Fallout 4 that completely overhauls the game, is a huge feat. Of course, with any large project like this, there are going to be issues that the modders will slowly iron out over time, but there’s no denying the achievement that FOLON is.
]]>The Commonwealth had plenty of companions for you to love and loathe, so it comes as no surprise that the gargantuan mod, Fallout: London, offers some brand-new companions for you to befriend or dismiss. One such companion who you can adopt early on is Churchill the dog, who can be incredibly helpful for finding loot and sneaking past enemies.
]]>England’s capital has always been a hotbed of culture, so it’s no surprise that Fallout: London’s nuclear fire only seems to have fanned the flames, with multiple factions based on classic British fashion, history and military units all stalking the streets of the Big Smoke.
]]>Fallout: London is brilliant, representing an authentic slice of post-apocalyptic action made by a dedicated team of talented developers.
]]>Whether you've been looking forward to playing Fallout: London for ages, or just heard about it recently, the good news is that it's finally time to do just that. However, unlike with mainstream releases, there's a bit more of a process involved in getting started this time around - especially if you're playing through Steam. But, if you're wondering how to install Fallout: London and get it set up so that you can play, you're in the right place.
]]>DLC-sized Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has finally dropped today, July 25, and is out now.
]]>A few months ago, when Bethesda suddenly announced that the Fallout 4 next-gen update a lot of players had been waiting for would finally be arriving on April 25, there was one question instantly on a lot of people's lips - what does this mean for Fallout: London.
]]>Massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London's developers have confirmed that their creation is back in their hands and is "no longer down to GOG", but are urging prospective players not to get too excited quite yet.
]]>The project lead of massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has said that the reason its developers haven't revealed its latest release date is due to them having signed non-disclosure agreements.
]]>This is not a drill. UK political memes look set to inflitrate the Fallout universe via Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London. Having already confirmed some pretty huge names voice acting-wise, the mod's Project Lead now looks to be suggesting a former MP known for yelling things is also on that list.
]]>A spokesperson for GOG.com, the PC storefront which is set to distribute massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London, has confirmed to VG247 that it's currently not in line to be playable via Epic Games store-bought copies of the game at launch.
]]>Fallout: London's project lead has confirmed that the massive mod will need to downgrade your copy of Fallout 4 to a version from before the next-gen updates that dropped earlier this year in order for you to be able to play it. The reason cited is that the next-gen version of Bethesda's RPG "isn't stable enough".
]]>Those of you excited for Fallout: London better get yourselves ready, as the mod's devs have shared a promising update.
]]>Fallout: London's developers have locked in a new release date for the game-sized mod, and it'll seemigly be coming up very soon. Yup, while the exact date's been settled, the team has decided not to fully reveal it quite yet, keeping us all on our toes.
]]>After Fallout 4's next-gen update forced its creators to abandon their planned release date of April 23, Fallout: London has been left in what's felt like a bit of a purgatory. Behind the scenes, however, the modders have been working very hard to get it ready to release in a form that'll work with these latest changes to Fallout 4. Thankfully, it sounds like Bethesda's latest tweaks won't cause too much of a hold-up.
]]>Massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London is finally releasing today, July 25, following over five years of development and a number of delays. If you're wondering whether you can play Fallout: London on your Xbox or PlayStation console, then you're very much in the right place.
]]>Today, April 23, was orginally supposed to be the release date of Fallout: London, with the massive mod being pencilled in for St Georges's Day following a delay late last year. However, Fallout 4's long-awaited next-gen update ended up putting pay to that idea, given its potential to break several elements of the mod just two days after its planned release.
]]>So, we finally got news of Fallout 4's long-awaited next-gen update yesterday, following plenty of silence on the subject from Bethesda. Since it's set to drop on April 25, just two days after Fallout: London's release on April 23, one of the big questions right away was how the update might affect the massive mod. Well, the good news is, it looks like Team FOLON already has a plan.
]]>In case you’ve been living under an irradiated rock, there are a lot of Fallouty things happening this month. It’s the kind of geiger counter-triggering atmosphere that can make you want to play - or replay - the latest entry in the series, Fallout 4. So, here’s a quick roundup of where you can get it on different platforms and how much it’ll set you back.
]]>The team behind Fallout: London has put out another update video, and it looks like this could well be the final one we get ahead of the huge mod’s release on April 23. Among the fresh info dropped as part of it was a rundown of some of the mod’s voice cast, which includes a name Baldur's Gate 3 fans will definitely be familiar with.
]]>The team behind Fallout: London has offered some fresh insight on what to expect from it as part of C3, a big Bethesda community modding showcase, and it sounds like it'll feel much more like a new Fallout game than a big Fallout 4 mod.
]]>If you're a Fallout fan, there's a good chance you can't wait to play Fallout: London when it arrives in April. Funnily enough, the modders who've been working on it are in a similar position, and we've spoken to one of them to get a lowdown on which bits of the mod they personally can't wait for players to experience and try out for themselves.
]]>“I remember a time not too long ago when Wanaming0, a modder friend of mine, needed help getting this mask to follow the facial expressions of the NPC wearing it,” recalls modder Neeher, “Well, I had no idea.”
]]>“There is no community quite like the Bethesda games community and I mean that in the best way,” Kenneth Vigue, founder of the charity initiative Fallout For Hope and creator of CHAD: A Fallout 76 Podcast tells me.
]]>Some of the modders behind the massive Fallout: London project will be looking at moving into the world of fully-fledged game development following the mod’s release in April.
]]>Fallout: London fixes and revamps some aspects of the base version of Fallout 4 that players criticised, in order to try and ensure the mod serves as the “icing on the cake” for the game.
]]>Fallout: London, the massive modding project that’s set to let Fallout 4 players explore the ruins of the English capital, has had its release date pushed back to April 2024.
]]>The team behind the massive Fallout: London modding project has released one of the mod’s unique outfits as a standalone work for Fallout 4.

]]>“Hmm. Well, I’ve seen worse scenarios.”
]]>The Fallout: London team has decided not to release the DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4 in September, partly to give players time to play Starfield.
