A new view of the post-apocalypse is on the way
Fallout London, a massive “DLC-sized” mod forFallout 4, has a new trailer and a release window. The huge fan-made expansion is set to arrive next year, in 2023.
Thetrailer, which premiered over the weekend, showcases the sights and sounds of London in the post-nuclear apocalypse ofFallout. Though there’s ruins and destruction abound, you’re able to still make out plenty of landmarks and vistas you’d expect to see.
Fallout Londonis billed as a continuation of baseFallout 4. The setting is a pretty drastic jump asFallouthas never really ventured outside the U.S. for its locales. The team says tackling the London setting allows them to explore cultures that have not homogenized with the American wasteland, as well as explore the effects of the Resource Wars on pre-war Britain.
A new wasteland
We’veseen some gameplayof this massive mod before, but it looks like the dev team has at least a decent inkling of whenFallout Londonwill see the light of day. And even thoughFalloutand other Bethesda RPGs have a history of massive mods, this one has some particularly intriguing elements.
The boat and canals look really interesting. The obvious London theming feels like a good, healthy departure and exciting environment to explore. And at one point, at the very end of thetrailer, I swear I saw a battle elephant. An honest-to-goodness,Lord of the Rings-style war elephant. Seems like London getswildin the nuclear future.
Since it seems like it will be avery, very long timebefore Bethesda ever circles back around to theFalloutfranchise,Fallout Londonseems like a decent hope for those looking for a fresh take. The massiveFallout 4mod is planned to arrive sometime in 2023.
