Team FOLON, the indie studio behind the highly anticipated Fallout London mod, recently announced that the mod has been delayed due to the Fallout 4 current-gen update.

Team FOLON took to its official YouTube channel to explain that it originally planned to release Fallout London on April 23, which aligned with St. George’s Day, a celebration that takes place in England. This is an issue because Fallout 4 is scheduled to receive a significant update on April 25. In the video, Dean Carter, the project lead, explained that prior to the news of Bethesda updating Fallout 4, the team was “tweaking and testing non-stop in order to get things as stable as we can for you all in time for that release,” but now because of the update their work is more prevalent than ever to “simply break.”

At the moment, it’s unsure when Fallout London will officially be out since all the workers involved are volunteer-based. However, the team is earnestly dedicated to unveiling the mod to the public as soon as they can.

The general update is applauded by Carter because the team “is now capable of pushing the engine beyond” previous limitations. As a result of this enhanced capability, the mod will additionally see quality-of-life upgrades and compatibility with widescreen.

Even though Team FOLON has a substantial following, they haven’t established any form of communication with Bethesda.

“Bethesda has never engaged us throughout our entire duration,” Carter revealed. “We’ve never had an extensive exchange with [Bethesda] at any point.”

Even though the new update does come with many perks, the team is still unable to bring the mod to consoles. “The mod is far too big. It’s currently standing around 30 to 40 gigabytes. It’s just not going to fit on the Xbox systems. I’m sorry, that’s the truth of it.”

The mod’s size even poses a challenge for PC players, as it’s too big to fit on Nexus Mods, the popular mod hub. However, thanks to GOG, PC players will be able to play Fallout London once it goes live using their accounts. The mod is confirmed for Steam, though the team hasn’t ruled out the Epic Games Store as a landing spot either.

As the name suggests, Fallout London takes place in London. The mod is set to take place 50 years before the events of Fallout 4, with an emphasis on realism and melee combat. Players can explore a destroyed London and visit iconic landmarks that survived the bombs, like Big Ben and the Tower of London.
