In the wake of theFalloutshow’s success, the demand for a newFalloutgame is understandably at an all-time high. While fans can look forward to full-game-sized mods for a freshFalloutexperience, namelyFallout: London, the wait for another officialFalloutgame is likely going to be a while still. However, anotherFallout-like game set in the UK,Atomfall, could fill the void forFalloutfans waiting for the franchise’s next official installment.Atomfallwill be coming to PC and current-gen consoles in March 2025.
Players looking for a new action RPG, as well asFalloutfans, may want to keep their eyes onAtomfall’s upcoming release. Especially for the players who enjoyed the fan-madeFallout: London, this upcoming game from the studio behind theSniper EliteandZombie Armyfranchises may be just the kind of refreshing experience thatFalloutfans have been waiting for, in the meantime ofFallout 5’s distant release.
Fallout: London Was a Mixed Bag For Fallout Fans
Fallout: Londonbrings a fresh new experience to the franchise by nature of the game’s setting being uncharted territory for any of the officialFalloutgames. Still set in a world as faithful tothe officialFalloutfranchise loreas a fan-made mod can be,Fallout: Londontakes players across the pond for the first time to a uniquely British wasteland.
Fallout: London Makes the Wait for Fallout 5 Less Miserable
For both newfoundFalloutfans who came from the success of theFalloutshow, or longtime fans of the franchise, Fallout: London is a perfect way to survive the wait forFallout 5’s distant release. The same can be said forthe upcomingFallout: Nuevo Mexico, another game-sized mod that is likely to arrive beforeFallout 5. This is by no meansFallout: London’s only strength, but with no news of any officialFalloutgame remakes, andFallout 5still likely several years away,Fallout: London’s release arguably couldn’t have come at a better time.
Current predictions suggest thatFallout 5’s release may not be until 2028 at the earliest.
Fallout: London Is Often Overlooked, Underrated As a Fan-Made Mod
Despite its scope, quality, and ambitious setting receiving praise,Fallout: Londonbeing a PC-only, fan-made mod, unfortunately, led to it being overlooked by manyFalloutfranchise fans. It didn’t help thatFallout: London’s launch suffered from technical issues, but in general, the game not being a canon, official entry in the franchise seems to be a deal-breaker for some franchise veterans.
Fallout: London Walked So That Atomfall Could Run
In many ways,Atomfallwill be free of the shackles that bindFallout: London, namely having a fresh start in building a new world. Consequently, givenAtomfall’s gameplay similarities to theFalloutgames, the upcoming release ofAtomfallcould very well be the overseasFallout-like experience that fans have been waiting for.
A survival-action game inspired by real-life events,Atomfallis set five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England. Explore the fictional quarantine zone, scavenge, craft, barter, fight and talk your way through a British countryside setting filled with bizarre characters, mysticism, cults, and rogue government agencies.
