Fallout: London, the impressive Fallout 4 mod that’s basically a whole new game, has a release date

Over five years in the making

Thegame-sized modspans the capital’s boroughs from Camden to Croydon, Westminster to Hackney, with landmarks including Tower Bridge and Houses of Parliament being appropriately post-apocalyptified for players to explore. All in all, the explorable wasteland is said to be equal in size to Fallout 4’s original Commonwealth and its Far Harbor DLC combined. The world is filled with all the British paraphernalia you’d expect too, from pubs and tube stations to buses and telephone boxes.

“We only get one chance at a first release. We aim to deliver a memorable Fallout: London experience and wish to avoid any release issues, such as those that have plagued other community or industry projects recently,” the team said in a statement posted to TwiXer. “Consequently, we’ve made the decision to exercise prudence and opt for a delay.”

The new release date for Fallout: London will be the rather fitting date of April 24th - St. George’s Day. The team added that the delay will let them finish up testing, and has the added benefit of putting the mod’s launch around thetime of Amazon’s premierefor theFallout TV show.
