The massive Fallout London mod for Fallout 4 was slated for release just after the Fallout show launched, but its developers had to postpone the rollout indefinitely to account for changes brought about by Bethesdaās next-gen update.
Team FOLON stoked the fires of anticipation when they announced in December that the Fallout London mod is complete and will be released on April 23, just two weeks after the Prime Video live-action series premiere.
However, Bethesda messed up this timeline when the studio announced that the much-awaited Fallout 4 next-gen update would finally be released on April 25.
Team FOLON lead dev Dean Carter then released a video explaining that, with the update introducing changes that will break the mod, they have no choice but to postpone the release indefinitely. While they can fix their core systems as quickly as possible, Fallout London also relies on other mods with their own timelines outside of the teamās control.
However, Carter, who also goes by the handle Prilladog, assured fans that the mod is ready to go as soon as the fixes are done.
In a separate interview, Carter expressed his opinion that this delay could have been avoided or, at the least, expectations could have been managed had there been communications between Bethesda and the modding team.
āThey could just say, āWell, look, this is when itās due to come out. Maybe, get your PR in order, or talk to your fans, cage expectations, because this is whatās going to happen,āā he told BBC, adding that this wouldāve been better than being āblindsided.ā
Carter also expressed his opinion that Bethesda shouldāve at least reached out given that the teamās content about Fallout London outperforms any announcement that the studio puts out regarding Fallout 76.
āYouād think that theyād have at least had a conversation to just be like, āLook, you guys are clearly at least notable, youāre not official, but letās make sure that we donāt ruin this for the fans,ā he said.
In the end, Carter clarified that he is not blaming Bethesda for the delay and said that it is āinevitableā due to the evident lack of communication between the two teams.
