Fallout: New California is now one click away and the best New Vegas spin-off you could ask for

Fallout: New Vegas is getting an official remaster, that much we know, but many fans still hope for a full-on sequel one day.

Unfortunately it’s not looking likely. Fallout 5 will presumably be the next mainline entry in the series and any future spin-offs will probably be set in new locations, rather than dredging up places from the past.

At least we’re returning to both Washington D.C and New Vegas in those confirmed Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters though.

Those that want a full-on sequel however have sort of got one already; Fallout- New California.

Fallout- New California is a free expansion mod for Fallout: New Vegas. It’s also the biggest one yet.

It’s a completely new story that’s playable from start to finish, packing almost 25 hours of new content if you want to be a completionist.

New California’s story synopsis reads: “Vault 18 is at the heart of the California Wasteland high in the San Bernardino Mountains, and its legendary Wasteland Scouts have managed to keep its secrets safe for decades despite the wars raging beyond the great door. In their old age, the Scouts have created a new generation to take their place... if their rebellious adopted kids survive the Enclave threat brewing within their own ranks.”

The New California Republic makes a return, and if you’re looking for more NCR-focused quests we’d also recommend checking out the Long 15 expansion mod too.

All of the mod’s quests are fully-voice acted and you’ll even get access to two new radio stations, which is easily one of the best parts of any Fallout game provided the best songs aren’t ripped from the game’s soundtrack.

Previously New California was obtainable via NexusMods, but now it’s made its way to GOG as a one-click installation, provided you’ve got a copy of Fallout: New Vegas of course. If you don’t it’s currently 60% off for those living in the United Kingdom.

GOG’s ‘One-Click Mods’ were introduced back in June 2025, and is a quick-and-simple method of enhancing your games so long as their supported by the platform.

GOG and the future of gaming

Over the past few years GOG has been making some of the best moves in the game industry, and while it’s yet to reach the same heights of success as Steam it’s still a well-respected, and well-trusted, online outlet.

Earlier this year PlayStation announced it’d be ending support of physical media in the year of our Lord 2028, and it kicked up a real fuss about the future of discs.

GOG has an answer to this though as one of its free tools lets you easily burn a copy of your digital game to a disc for future preservation.

It also regularly tracks down and relists games you can’t find on modern platforms, which is great news for retro enthusiasts.
