The success of the TV series has undeniably given Fallout a new spotlight. This iconic video game franchise, loved by millions of fans around the world and pampered by Bethesda, spans the ages without ever losing interest among players. However, the latter sometimes dream of a new episode which would take place outside the United States and which would allow us to discover how the rest of the world's population survives in this post-apocalyptic world… a sweet fantasy which will probably remain impossible to realize.
Fallout doesn't need to leave Uncle Sam's country
Appearing in the latest episode of the show “Kinda Funny”, Todd Howard discussed the latest hot news from Bethesda. If the creative director shared several news concerning Starfield or even The Elder Scrolls, the strong man of the studio especially took a moment to express himself on Fallout and this desire of players who would ardently like to discover a new country, while the latter have been crisscrossing the USA for over 20 years, the first game being released in 1997.

Without procrastinating, Howard, it was categorical on the subject: “Fallout does not need to leave the United States”:
In my opinion, part of the humor of Fallout relies on the naivety of Americans and some of that naivety. That's why, for us, there's no harm in recognizing some of these other regions, but we intend to keep the series primarily in the United States. I don't feel the need to answer… It's normal to leave the mystery hanging or to ask questions: “What's happening in Europe, what's happening here?” » The worst thing you can do to mysterious lands is to remove the mystery.
Fallout London and the endless wait for fans
These statements, which will certainly put a damper on the morale of the many Fallout addicts, therefore seem to leave no hope of seeing an episode take place outside American lands. Certainly, this decision risks being singled out by those mainly concerned, while the excitement around the future Fallout London mod only grows as the days pass.
As a reminder, Fallout London is a mod designed by the Team FOLON studio. Since 2019, the development team has spent tens of thousands of hours creating a world featuring a city made up of 15 districts. Players will also be able to count on a multitude of new objects, a London soundscape, new gameplay mechanics, original quests and even 7 companions, including an adorable dog.
Initially scheduled for April 23, 2024, Fallout London was unfortunately postponed to an indefinite date due to the next-gen update of Fallout 4.
