Fallout is not only one of the most popular franchises in Bethesda’s library but it’s also one of the biggest video game properties of all time and its popularity looks to have no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Following the recent release and success of theFalloutlive-action serieson Prime Video, the franchise has reached new heights welcoming a new legion of fans that may not have initially heard of theBethesdaRPG. Now, games in the series such asFallout 4andFallout 76have benefited from a huge player surge in recent days.

So with theFallout 4new-gen upgrade just days away, surely that would be great news for all vault dwellers, right? Well, that is seemingly not the case especially when it comes toFallout’stalented modding community with the likes of the highly anticipatedFallout: Londonbeing delayedfollowing Bethesda’s recent upgrade announcement.
So when Bethesda announced that we’re finally being treated to the free new-gen upgrade this month, it meant thatFallout: Londonhad to be delayed and the mod developers are understandably, not happy.
Whenspeaking tothe BBC, the project lead onFallout: Londonsays that the mod teams feel “blindsided” due to the lack of communication from Bethesda with the sudden release date announcement of the upgrade. “So that has, for lack of a better term, sort of screwed us over, somewhat,” said Dean Carter.

To put things in perspective,Fallout: Londonhas been in development for around four years, and has already suffered several delays. Its most recent release date was 23 April 2024, that was until Bethesda announced earlier this month that the free upgrade is now releasing on 25 April, leaving the modders no time to make the necessary updates for the expansion-sized mod.
No new release date has been announced forFallout: Londonbut Dean Carter has asked fans to be patient while the modders work on making the necessary adjustments to compensate for theFallout 4new-gen upgrade.
Fallout 4is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. It’s also available to Xbox Game Pass, PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers at no extra cost.
