The massive Fallout: London mod is out now

It’ll be some time before Bethesda releases a new Fallout game, but in the meantime, some enterprising fans have taken it upon themselves to release a big expansion for Fallout 4. The long-in-development mod Fallout: London is available now to download for free via GOG and is also compatible with the Steam version of Fallout 4. There is a catch, however: you need to be using the version of the game before the recent next-gen update. (A next-gen compatible version is also in the works, though it doesn’t have a date yet.)

In development since 2019, the London mod introduces a new location and story to the postapocalyptic world, complete with fully voiced characters and 200 different quests. There’s an estimated 90 hours of gameplay included. Here’s the official description from the developers at Team Folon:

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.

The mod is coming at a good time, as Fallout is in an especially prominent place thanks to the excellent live-action series on Amazon Prime Video, which is getting a second season. While no single-player Fallout game has been announced, developer Bethesda just released a major expansion for the online spinoff Fallout 76.

Meanwhile, the studio is launching the Shattered Space expansion for Starfield later this year, while a new Elder Scrolls is also in development.
