TheFallout Londonmod team reveals that they initially had plans to implement ghouls that were based on members of the British royal family.Falloutfans are in a bit of an odd place right now, as Todd Howard has confirmed thatFallout 5will be released afterElder Scrolls 6, meaning the next mainline entry in the franchise could still be many years away. However, just because there might not be an official new entry in the post-apocalytpic franchise anytime soon doesn’t mean no content is being released forFalloutfans.
As has been the case for well over a decade now,Falloutmodders have been hard at work to give fans another reason to hop back into their favorite nuclear wasteland. Without any newFallouttitles likely coming for some time, it is up to more ambitious and expansive mods to fill the hole created by the lack of full games.Fallout Londonis an expansion-sized mod created usingFallout 4. As the name suggests,Fallout Londontakes players across the pond and shows how other countries coped with the apocalypse.

Development onFallout Londonseems to be going well, as shown by a recent progress video from the mod team. As well as showing off all the new features, textures, and more coming toFallout Londonwhen it releases, the mod team also discussed some things they had to remove from their project. Initially, according to Project Lead Dean Carter, there was once a plan to include ghoul versions of the late Queen Elizabeth and her son, who currently reigns as King Charles.
However, Carter stated that the removal of the late Queen and current King of England comes from a decision made while creating the mod. “We’ve always maintained that if she was to pass away before the mod was complete, we would change it,” Carter said. WhatFallout Londonwill change these figures to is unknown, with Carter stating that fans will just have to “wait and see.” The Project Lead forFallout Londonalso doesn’t want fans asking for this change to be undone. It is likely that the British Royalty will be replaced with some other form of ghoul Gentry, one of the manyfactions players will encounter inFallout London.
Wanting to continue a traditional sense of ruling, the Gentry ask for the people of London to pay a tribute to the organization in order for aid. The aristocracy do have soldiers of their own through some ofFallout London’sother factions, but they also have enemies in the numerous organizations in the mod. It seems that to survive, the player orWayfarer inFallout Londonmay have to side with the Gentry or another faction, just as they would do inFallout 4to get an ending.
Fallout 4is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with theFallout Londonmod slated for release in 2023.
