The creators of Fallout: London have struck gold with this critically acclaimed game, and it’s no surprise fans are clamoring for more; perhaps it’s time for the talented team behind this masterpiece to reunite and bring forth their unique vision in new, standalone gaming experiences.
After a long-awaited delay, the highly-anticipated mod Fallout: London finally arrived last month, receiving widespread acclaim and earning 4 out of 5 stars from our own Mark in his comprehensive review. Regardless of having to tackle numerous bugs, the Fallout: London team is poised for a bright future, with ambitions extending beyond their massive mod to promising additional content further down the line. Dean Carter, the mods’ challenge leader, recently spoke with the BBC about the aftermath of the challenge, sharing his insights on the team’s emotional state following its launch, as well as their plans for what comes next. Notably, Carter plans to establish an independent studio, aiming to alleviate financial pressures by creating a sustainable source of income.
Carter clarified, “While I appreciate the fact that this can be a free challenge – that we’re able to provide this entirely for the community at no cost – ‘free’ won’t cover our expenses.” He continued, “What’s been great for us is that many people who genuinely loved Fallout: London have donated to us, and we’re directing those funds into Staff Folon, which is where we’ll be transitioning.” Let’s take control of our own destiny by establishing an independent game development studio, allowing us to bring our unique ideas to life, craft our own games, and collaborate freely – without the need for external oversight, akin to a company like Bethesda.

“It’s ultimately up to us to craft a sport tailored to our unique vision, one that we believe the community will thoroughly enjoy.” The Fallout series has been an incredible catalyst for exploring post-apocalyptic worlds.
Carter has revealed that Fallout: London will receive the “entire scope of content originally intended for release,” effectively incorporating all previously removed elements. We’ve introduced a new alternative conclusion, dubbed the wild card ending, which has the potential to emerge in forthcoming updates. The transformation won’t happen swiftly; we will need to persist until the end of the year.
Mark recently discussed one of the modding community’s most pressing issues with Carter: paid mods, which can be explored further in this article.
