Among the huge number of mods available for Fallout 4, without a doubt Fallout: London has become one of the most interestingand it’s not even available yet. There are several reasons why this unofficial mod has generated so much interest among the community, so in order not to go on forever, we can focus on the three most notable: its own creators are evaluating it, and from what has been reported so far, it seems true that it will be a DLC-sized mod .

To this end, as we read on his website, The team consists of modders, screenwriters, 3D artists, voice actors and other creative profiles, which brings me to the second reason, which is that what they’ve shown so far is more than promising, not just over other mods, but even DLC and developer-made games. It is often said that Bethesda has the biggest and best community moddersand Fallout: London scores quite a bit on that statement.

The third reason is that, as you know, until now all the action of the various parts of Fallout took place on American soil, despite the fact that tradition sagas has a much more global profile and therefore It goes far beyond the 17 Commonwealths that were created in the US in the shadow of the Cold War.. The fact that the action jumps to the other side of the Atlantic means (or can, if its creators seem to have expected it) tradition) a very different, and at the same time very interesting, look at the effects of the global conflict that Vault Tec has (unofficially) unleashed.

Therefore, there are many people who have been counting the days until the arrival of this mod, but unfortunately it seems that the wait will be longer than originally expected because The developers of Fallout: London have announced a delay, currently undetermined, for the launch of the mod. Of course, the indefinite article doesn’t mean it’s necessarily long-term, but at this point they can’t estimate when they’ll be able to release it.

The reason is that Bethesda will release an update for Fallout 4 on April 25th, just two days after Fallout: London’s originally scheduled launch date, and we’re not talking about a minor update as it involves a change to the graphics engine used by the game. Of course, this translates into many improvements, such as better graphics, support for ultra-wide screens and more. Personally, I think it speaks very well of Bethesda, because continuing to update, and in this way, a title released in 2015, is a more than respectable example of commitment.

The problem is that the creators of Fallout: London They are worried that updating the engine will cause the mod to crash, and after years of working on it, they don’t want it to “break” just two days after launch. In this way, they decided to wait for the release of the Fallout 4 update to verify its effects on the mod. And the next thing, of course, will be to solve all the problems found in this evaluation.

So things are We can’t blame Bethesdabecause it aims to improve the gameplay experience of Fallout 4, and not even the creators of Fallout: London, because they act with exactly the same goal. And therefore all we have to do is to take it patiently and, of course, keep our fingers crossed that the problems are minimal, resolved as soon as possible, and therefore the wait is measured in weeks and not months.
