One of the greatest things about PC gaming is the ability to mod games, and one such project - Fallout: London - stands as its zenith.

We've got everything you need to know about the Fallout: London mod release update and gameplay details, as well as some trailers for you to have a perusal of.

As opposed to the former United States, Fallout: London takes place in dear Ol' Blighty's capital city (in case that wasn't obvious) after the Great War of 2077 engulfed the world in flames.

Unfortunately, owing to the Fallout 4 next-gen update, the team has had to delay the DLC-sized mod once more.

The upside, however, is that Fallout 4 will run better, and we've got the new Fallout TV series to keep us busy until developers Team FOLON finally get the project over the finish line.

But alas, let's get to it!

When is the Fallout: London release date?

Fallout: London has been delayed following the announcement of the Fallout 4 next-gen update, but the team plans to release the mod "as soon as we've fixed it".

Team FOLON posted a video to YouTube explaining the situation, which can be viewed below.

Due to not knowing what exactly the next-gen update will do to the game engine, project lead Dean Cartner says that they "won’t give you a fancy release date this time", but it's not all doom and gloom, as they go on to say that this is because they "might get lucky with a day one fix".

Fallout: London was originally slated for release on 23rd April 2024 (after facing a couple of delays) to coincide with St George's Day, which happens to be the starting date of the mod.

Once a solid date is announced, we will update you as soon as possible.

What is the Fallout: London DLC mod?

Fallout: London.

Get ready to thank some super-talented modders, as they are the ones who have brought this to us. And being a mod of an existing game, we will be able to play it for free!

Set in London, the mod has been described as a "DLC-sized" edition to Fallout 4, and while London will not be as big as we know it to be, it will still be a decent size. The developers have indicated it will be around the same scale as the vanilla Commonwealth map.

Here is what has been officially said about the DLC and what to expect.

We have to say, it does sound exciting! If we were not sold already, then we definitely were when we read 'Knights of the Round Table': "Fallout: London stands apart from its contemporaries and offers an entirely new experience: setting a Fallout game outside of the United States. True to its moniker, Fallout: London takes place IN London.

"From stuffy parliamentary aristocrats to a resurrection of the Knights of the Round Table, to an uncompromising cult of revolutionaries (and more!), Fallout: London embodies the history and aesthetics of London and puts an unmistakably nuclear spin on the beloved city."

So, expect to meet lots of interesting characters as you make your way around what is left of the city, and remember to be wary about the type of people you are interacting with – the nuclear apocalypse is a world full of deceit and betrayal.

Setting it in London gives the devs a great playing field that will differ from the Fallout that we know.

An example of this is the vaults, which in the main games were made in America, so other countries will not have had them – at least the type that we are familiar with.

This means you shouldn't expect to see any "Super Mutants, no Centaurs, no Deathclaws, and likely a lower number of Psykers than ever before".

"Vault-Tec is entirely an American company, thus it will have no presence in London."

Touching on the changes, the developers have said that "visiting a totally new setting allows for us to explore totally new cultures which have not homogenised with their American counterparts".

"It also allows us to explore pre-war European history, and the effects the Resource Wars had on the class-structured society of pre-war Britain," they add.
