Team FOLON have put out a detailed 13 minute video along with a blog post, in which they have presented their vision and progress on Fallout London – an ambitious mod to Fallout 4 which sets up the story outside US for a change – in post apocalyptic London.
The mod was first announced in 2021 and scheduled to launch first in 2023, which has now been postponed to Apr 2024. The team mentioned in the blog that “To be candid, the main factor influencing this decision lies in the composition of our scripting team. A significant portion of our team members come from a region affected by conflict, which has understandably impacted their focus on the mod” They further went to add that ” Our commitment is to provide you with a polished and as close to a flawless experience as we can. We get only 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 scale of the ambition in working and developing the mod is obvious from several points, specifically the fact that the world built is equivalent to the base game Commonwealth and Far Harbor DLC combined. Other key points put in the video are:
- 15 different parts of London with their own set up
- 7 unique settlements to build and customize
- 121 Weapons, 514 Clothes, 29 Races and 64 Foliage, 425 Architecture specific to London, 203 Consumables
- London specific 2D artwork to display in the world and for world-building
- 3 new radio stations
- 53 new main quests 35 side quests, 25 faction quests
- Revamped user interface

It is great to note that the team is committed to putting out a mod at the scale which was promised, and that they are taking the effort to put out a complete and tested version.
