Fallout: London is waving goodbye to the next-gen update as the modders realise it 'isn't stable enough' at the 11th hour

Derelict city street with abandoned bus.

To say that Fallout: London's development has been tricky would be a bit of an understatement. Team Folon, the people behind this expansive mod that brings the retro-apocalyptic world of Fallout to the UK, had been working on Fallout: London for four years before they had to delay the release due to a disruptive Fallout 4 next-gen update from Bethesda.  

In an interview with the BBC, the project lead at Fallout: London, Dean Carter, voiced his discontent with Bethesda's decision not to warn his team about the update that would inevitably break multiple mods, as it forced them back a few weeks so they could tweak issues that arose from it. "That has, for lack of a better term, screwed us over," Carter says. Some of his complaints weren't entirely reasonable, though, as Fallout: London is a fan mod and not part of Bethesda's verified creator program, and there's no precedent for big companies warning community-made mods about upcoming internal plans.
