Some of you may be wondering how this news will affect the launch of our mod, and I get that. Have no fear!

Two years ago, it was revealed that Fallout would be getting a “DLC-sized” expansion called Fallout: London, which will swap out the game’s usual American setting with the metropolis of London in the United Kingdom. Recently, a lengthy YouTube video provided us with our first peek at genuine gameplay footage of the thrilling mission. Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy, who played the sixth and seventh versions of the Doctor in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, will lend their voices to Fallout London.
Meanwhile, one of the world’s longest-running MMOs is going offline after 27 years of service.
