Fallout: London Dev Comments on Fallout 4’s Surprise Next-Gen Update
- Team Folon felt blindsided by Bethesda’s Fallout 4 update announcement, delaying their Fallout: London mod release.
- Fallout: London transforms the game with a post-apocalyptic London setting and new story, offering fans a fresh experience.
- Lack of communication from Bethesda created tension, impacting the mod’s development timeline and disappointing fans eagerly waiting.
The project lead on the Fallout: London mod voiced the team’s feelings of being “blindsided” by Bethesda’s announcement of the Fallout 4 next-gen update. The project lead’s comments shed light on the challenges faced by the Fallout: London developer team caused by a lack of clear communication with the Fallout 4 developer.
Fallout 4 is an open-world action RPG by Bethesda set in a post-apocalyptic United States, focusing on the Sole Survivor’s journey in the Commonwealth. On the other hand, Fallout: London is an upcoming total conversion mod for Fallout 4, shifting the setting to a post-apocalyptic rendition of London in 2237, introducing a new story with factions vying for control. While Fallout 4 is an official game by Bethesda, Fallout: London is a fan-made mod that alters the game’s setting, story, and gameplay mechanics, providing players with a fresh experience within the Fallout universe.

Bethesda Shares Good News For Fallout 4 Modders
Bethesda shares some good news for Fallout 4 modders ahead of the release of the game’s much-anticipated next-generation update.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Dean Carter, project lead on the Fallout: London mod made by Team Folon, voiced the studio’s feelings of being “blindsided” by Bethesda’s announcement of the huge Fallout 4 update set to release on April 25. Fallout: London was scheduled for release on April 23, which is why Carter expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Bethesda regarding the timing of their update. He mentioned that the sudden announcement caught the team off guard, especially considering the effort and dedication they’ve poured into the mod over the past four years. “So that has, for lack of a better term, sort of screwed us over, somewhat,” Carter said.

Carter emphasized that Team Folon’s work is driven by a desire to create content for the fans, and the lack of communication from Bethesda has led to confusion and backlash within the community. Despite Carter’s efforts to steer fans away from blaming Bethesda directly, the situation has created tension and raised questions about industry collaboration and transparency. The Fallout: London mod delay caused by Fallout 4’s update has not only impacted the development timeline but has also disappointed fans eagerly awaiting the mod’s release.

So that has, for lack of a better term, sort of screwed us over, somewhat.
As of now, Team Folon has not announced a new release date for Fallout: London, so fans will need to be patient. Carter’s comments underscore the challenges faced by independent developers navigating the complexities of the gaming industry’s ever-evolving landscape.
