Team FOLON Delays Fallout London Release to Ensure a Polished and Flawless Experience
Team FOLON has unveiled a new deep-dive trailer and a revised release date for Fallout London, the ambitious ‘DLC-sized mod’ for Fallout 4. Originally scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023, the release has been postponed to April 23, 2024. This date strategically positions the launch just two weeks after the premiere of the highly anticipated Fallout TV show on Prime Video.
In a statement on X/Twitter, Team FOLON shared insights into the decision to delay the London DLC. Despite the mod being content-complete as planned, the team recognized potential shortcomings in their testing process, emphasizing the importance of delivering a polished and flawless experience for players. The intricate 13-minute overview trailer breaks down the key reasons the gaming community should be excited about Fallout London’s immersive world.
The decision to delay stemmed from considerations related to the composition of Team FOLON’s scripting team. A significant portion of team members hails from a region affected by conflict, impacting their focus on the mod. While the team successfully caught up through strategic reorganization and reskilling, it came at the expense of thorough testing.
The statement from Team FOLON highlighted their commitment to a top-tier player experience, avoiding release issues that have plagued other community or industry projects. The new release date aligns not only with the completion of ample testing but also with the heightened anticipation surrounding the Fallout TV series.
Addressing the upcoming Fallout 4 next-gen patch set for 2024, Team FOLON clarified that they currently have no plans to release the mod on the new update. However, they remain adaptable, acknowledging that unforeseen changes implemented by Bethesda could impact their decision.
As Fallout enthusiasts await the arrival of Fallout London, the delay ensures that the mod receives the meticulous attention it deserves, promising an unforgettable experience for players exploring the post-apocalyptic landscapes of London in the Fallout universe.
