Back at the end of last week, we mentioned how the highly ambitious Fallout 4 mod known as "Fallout: London" was still on the way despite a setback earlier this year, but as things stand, it's only ever expected to release on PC.
The mod's official FAQ simply states that there's no plan to reach Xbox or any other console, but speaking to Metro recently, lead developer Dean Carter advised that they'd love to create an Xbox version if Bethesda is willing to help:
‘What we want is to speak to a decision-maker, because if we could make it a standalone thing with their [Bethesda’s] permission, that means that people on gaming consoles could use it, which they currently can’t.’
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee Bethesda will want to get involved - and a lack of communication about Fallout 4's next-gen update is ultimately what led to Fallout: London getting delayed back in April. Apparently, the new solution on PC is to implement a "downgrader" that can remove the next-gen update and provide access to the mod.
It's probably best to never expect Fallout: London on Xbox, but if it ends up proving as great as it looks on PC, Bethesda may just be forced to sit up and take notice. We'll throw more details about the mod (along with screens) below.
"Fallout: London is an ambitious DLC-sized mod that brings the player into the nuclear apocalypse all the way to the doorsteps of Parliament. The mod encapsulates the gritty, adventurous nature of the Fallout games with a new world, factions, storylines, NPCs, weapons, creatures, & much more! This all comes together in a package tied with an uniquely British bow."
