A Glimpse into Fallout: London
Fallout: London is not your typical mod; it’s a fan-made project that introduces players to the nuclear aftermath on the doorsteps of Parliament. With a meticulous attention to detail, the mod includes a brand-new world, factions, storylines, NPCs, weapons, creatures, and much more, all wrapped up with a distinctly British bow.
One of the standout features of this mod is the absence of familiar Fallout elements such as Super Mutants, Centaurs, Deathclaws, and a reduced number of Psykers. As the storyline unfolds in London, Vault-Tec, being an American company, has no presence here. However, a unique version of a vault awaits players beneath the ground, promising a different shelter experience from the typical Vault-Tec structures.
Diverse Factions and a Vibrant Community

Size and Scope of Fallout: London
The world of Fallout: London is a condensed version of the British capital, focusing on the main central boroughs.

Platform and System Requirements
For now, Fallout: London isexclusively planned for release on PC. While there are no immediate plans to bring it to other platforms, the community has been granted permission to convert standalone items to other platforms. To run Fallout: London, players will need Fallout 4 and all associated DLC, with no plans for a lite version due to the significant reworking it would entail.
Unique Combat Dynamics
With Fallout: London’s divergence point occurring around World War II, the mod introduces a different approach to weaponry. While there will be fewer guns compared to other Fallout iterations, this isn’t due to real-world gun laws. Instead, the game encourages the use of melee weapons, presenting segments where they become essential. Expect a variety of makeshift weapons reminiscent of the iconic pipe pistols in Fallout.
As the release date draws near, Fallout fans can look forward to immersing themselves in the chaotic, post-apocalyptic landscape of London on April 24th, 2024. Fallout: London is set to be a testament to the creativity and dedication of the modding community, bringing a fresh and uniquely British perspective to the beloved Fallout universe.
