The Fallout: London mod has been delayed by Fallout 4's planned next-gen update

Fallout: London is an ambitious project, a Fallout 4 overhaul set it what probably isn't be a "green and pleasant land" in the post-apocalyptic times. I mean, it might still be green but only because it's glowing. It's a big project, one that will feature Baldur's Gate 3 voice actor Neil Newbon, but it's had to push its planned April 23 release date back due to Fallout 4's next-gen update, which is set to go live on April 25...

Love Lucy's unique pistol from Amazon's Fallout TV show? There's already a cool mod that adds it to Fallout 4

Odds are if you're a Fallout fan, you've either already blazed through Amazon's Fallout TV show, or are dilligently working your way through the episodes when life allows. No matter how far you are in, one of the things you'll definitely seen is the cool tranqiliser pistol being wielded by Lucy. If you a big fan of it, a new Fallout 4 mod is definitely for you.

If you're somehow out of the loop, Lucy is the show's vault dweller, and, from the moment she starts facing the terrors of the wasteland, she's got a dart gun at her side, which obviously comes in quite handy at times. The weapon's very futuristic-looking design definitely caught the attention of one veteran modder, who's been working on bringing it to The Commonwealth for a little while now.

The modder in question is Neeher, whom we spoke to about his work on the upcoming Fallout: London earlier this year. This TV show gun is a standalone work from him, dubbed the 'Select Blaster', to bring it in line with a lot of Neeher's other Fallout 4 weapon mods.

Likely to capitalise on the hype generated by BezosTech’s (by many accounts, pretty entertaining) Fallout TV show, Bethesda are spiffing up Fallout 4 with a new update, including widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, fixes to Creation Kit, and a “variety of quest updates.”

The update is slated for this month, April 25th. A new quest, “Echoes of the Past,” sees you going up against the Enclave. Alongside this are new workshop items including previously released Creation Club content, such as Enclave uniforms, weapons and armor skins, new power armour, a Tesla Cannon, and a Heavy incinerator. Here are a few more additions, via the update:

So, we finally got news of Fallout 4's long-awaited next-gen update yesterday, following plenty of silence on the subject from Bethesda. Since it's set to drop on April 25, just two days after Fallout: London's release on April 23, one of the big questions right away was how the update might affect the massive mod. Well, the good news is, it looks like Team FOLON already has a plan.

If you're unfamiliar with Fallout: London, it's a full conversion mod for Fallout 4 that's set to let us explore a post-apocalytic version of the English capital, complete with fresh factions and quests, later this month. We've been getting regular updates from the team behind it over the past couple of years, including one as part of modding showcase C3 back in February - which actually saw Team FOLON acknowledge that a situation exactly like this with the next-gen update could well come to pass.

Since it now has, Fallout: London's project lead, Dean 'Prilladog' Carter, has put out a statement via the mod's Discord server, outlining what the group's plan of action is. "As some of you may have noticed, Bethesda is scheduled to release an update to Fallout 4 just two days after our intended release date," he wrote, "We are actively monitoring the situation closely.
