The DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4 will be the first time the story is set outside of the United States and is set to embody the history and aesthetics of London whilst putting a “nuclear spin” on the beloved city.
“From stuffy parliamentary aristocrats to a resurrection of the Knights of the Round Table to an uncompromising cult of revolutionaries (and more!)”, reads the official synopsis.
Originally planned to be released back on 23 April, it was later delayed due to Bethesda releasing its official next-gen update for Fallout 4. As a result, Team Folon, the brains behind Fallout: London, revealed concerns about potential “complications” and issued a slight delay.
Despite initially planning to work around the next-gen update, Team Folon has now revealed that in order to run Fallout: London, players will have to downgrade their copies of Fallout 4.
"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 - thus the need for a downgrader,” announced project leader Dean Carter.
"It's been an utter frustration and every setback requires the testing process to restart," he continued. "Which is why we've decided to go with the downgrader route and when the 'next-gen' is sorted, update it for that."
Those unsure on how to downgrade need not worry as the official installer for Fallout: London will handle the process for you.
Additionally, there will not be much longer to wait for the new unofficial DLC with a recent update reading, "Once they've [GOG] completed the process of double-checking that Fallout: London and its installer work on all supported machines, we should be good to go."
