Fallout: London DLC 'Rabbit & Pork' Demands a Fresh Start
Fans eager for new adventures in the highly anticipated Fallout: London mod will need to prepare for a fresh playthrough, as the mod's first official DLC, titled 'Rabbit & Pork,' will require a complete campaign restart. This news comes directly from Dean Carter, the head of Team FOLON, who shared details in the project's Discord channel.
According to Carter, the decision to necessitate a new save is due to the significant amount of changes and additions packed into 'Rabbit & Pork.' This includes a wealth of fixes, as well as both cut and entirely new content. The development team, Team FOLON, invested considerable time into this first expansion to lay a crucial groundwork for future DLCs, which, thankfully, will not require players to start over.
Expanding the World of Post-Apocalyptic London
While 'Rabbit & Pork' will focus exclusively on introducing new side quests, it's just one piece of the ambitious post-launch content plan for Fallout: London. The second announced add-on, 'Wildcard,' is set to significantly expand the main storyline. In an interview last year with VG247, Carter revealed that 'Wildcard' will empower players to decide the fate of England's capital without having to align with any of the existing factions within the game world.
Details regarding the third DLC, 'Last Orders,' remain a mystery, and Team FOLON has yet to announce release dates for any of these upcoming expansions.
A Mod of Professional Quality
For those unfamiliar with the base mod, Fallout: London is a massive fan-made expansion for Fallout 4, released on GOG. It garnered a 'Commendable' rating from our reviewer, Kirill Voloshin, who praised it as a must-try for Fallout 4 enthusiasts seeking a new story with a distinct English flavor, complete with tea and the scent of the Thames. Despite being a fan project, Voloshin characterized it as a 'powerful and professional work,' noting that it's far beyond what one would typically call an amateur mod. While it may not reach the same levels of non-linearity or depth in quests, dialogues, and characters as Fallout: New Vegas, it stands as an impressive achievement in its own right.
This campaign restart for 'Rabbit & Pork' highlights the dedication and extensive efforts Team FOLON is pouring into expanding the Fallout: London experience. Players looking to dive into the new content should anticipate starting a new game, but this also offers a perfect opportunity to revisit the uniquely British wasteland with fresh eyes and prepare for the ongoing evolution of this remarkable fan-made world.
