Fallout: London – A New Game in the Fallout Universe
Hey there, fellow wasteland wanderers! Hold onto your Pip-Boys because we’ve got some exciting news for all you Fallout fans out there. The team behind Fallout: London has just dropped some fresh insight on what we can expect from this massive modding project. And let me tell you, it’s shaping up to be more than just a Fallout 4 mod – it’s practically a whole new game!
Leaving The Commonwealth Behind
If you haven’t heard of Fallout: London, let me fill you in. It’s a massive modding project for Fallout 4 that takes you out of The Commonwealth and into the post-apocalyptic ruins of the English capital. The team has been hard at work for years, teasing us with glimpses of intriguing factions and locations that will make up this exciting new adventure.
A Game of Its Own
In a recent Twitch stream, the project lead Dean ‘Prilladog’ Carter, lead level designer Joe ‘Wolfy’ Wills, and lead 3D artist Jordan ‘SunnyDelight’ Albon shared some juicy details about Fallout: London. Carter described it as more than just a mod, calling it a “Fallout 4.5”. So, when you load up the game, from start to finish, you’re diving headfirst into the immersive world of Fallout: London. And get this – it’s estimated to take around 15 to 25 hours to complete a playthrough. That’s a lot of post-apocalyptic adventuring!
Exploring the Ruins of London
But what makes Fallout: London truly special is the attention to detail and the unique London flavor it brings to the table. The modders have gone above and beyond to create a world that captures the essence of London without relying solely on the iconic landmarks like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. They’ve designed stylized pubs and other local landmarks to give it that authentic “London feel.” And here’s a fun fact – their work on the mod has even helped them navigate the real version of London when they’ve visited for meetups. Talk about blurring the lines between game and reality!
Morally Grey Factions and Intense Combat
As you roam the wasteland of Fallout: London, you’ll encounter morally grey factions that will remind you of the complexities of Fallout: New Vegas. These factions add depth and intrigue to the game, making every decision you make feel weighty and impactful. And get ready for some intense combat because ammo for guns is scarce compared to Fallout 4. You’ll need to strategize and adapt if you want to survive the challenges that await.
New Weapons to Wield
Speaking of guns, one of the modders, Neeher, recently released a standalone Fallout 4 mod featuring some unique Chinese pistols from Fallout: London. These guns are a must-try for any gun enthusiast out there. So, load up your virtual arsenal and get ready to unleash some post-apocalyptic firepower!
Future-Proofing the Mod
And here’s a reassuring piece of news – the team has a contingency plan in place for Fallout 4’s next-gen update. If the update coincides with Fallout: London’s release and causes any issues, they’re prepared to roll back the update to ensure a smooth gaming experience. That’s dedication, my friends!
Conclusion
So, fellow vault dwellers, the release of Fallout: London is just around the corner. The team behind this ambitious modding project has poured their hearts and souls into creating a game that will transport us to the post-apocalyptic ruins of London. With its immersive world, morally grey factions, intense combat, and unique weapons, Fallout: London promises to be a thrilling adventure for all Fallout fans.
