In a landscape where the gaming community’s appetite remains insatiable, the recent launch of Fallout: London has proven that the fervor for the Fallout franchise is as strong as ever. This ambitious full conversion mod for Fallout 4 transports players from the familiar irradiated wasteland of the United States to the historic streets of England, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved series.
Record-Breaking Reception
Released on July 24, Fallout: London quickly captivated players, achieving a remarkable milestone on the digital storefront GOG. Within the first 24 hours, the mod was redeemed over 500,000 times, setting a new record for the fastest redeemed game in GOG’s history. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given that GOG has been operational since 2008 and boasts a library of nearly 10,000 games. Not even heavyweights like Cyberpunk 2077 or the Witcher series could match this level of enthusiasm.
While Fallout: London can be installed on a Steam copy of Fallout 4, it is not available through the Steam Workshop or Nexus Mods. The process of “redeeming” the mod involves adding it to a GOG shopping cart and completing a checkout process at no cost, which has led to some confusion regarding the actual download process. Clarification on this matter is pending, but it appears that the majority of those who redeemed the mod are eager to dive into this new adventure.
Sales Surge for Fallout 4
The excitement surrounding Fallout: London has also had a positive impact on sales of the original game. Currently, the best-selling title on GOG is none other than Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, which is being offered at a generous 60% discount. This surge in interest highlights not only the enduring appeal of the Fallout universe but also the community’s readiness to embrace new content that expands upon it.
As the gaming world continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: the desire for more Fallout experiences is a constant, echoing the sentiment that in this realm, war—and the love for Fallout—never truly changes.
