The debates surrounding Fallout are diverse and range from the graphics engine itself to the hated loading screens for entering/exiting buildings. The latter came to light again with the launch of Starfield and the premiere of the series on Prime Video. However, there is another issue that has been repeated ad nauseam by the community and to which Bethesda continues to turn a deaf ear.
It was last October 2023 when Tim Cain, co-creator of Fallout, revealed that there were plans to expand the stories beyond the United States: “Fallout America was very much about American patriotism, we wanted to explore China and Russia,” he said at the time.
The community has been begging Bethesda for years for new locations, but Fallout 3, Fallout: New VegasFallout 4 and Fallout 76 have remained within the US soil. Perhaps out of fear of changing the formula or because they simply do not want to listen. And Team FOLON had to come with Fallout: London to put the cards on the table.

There are areas where FOLON surpasses what Bethesda did with FO4. The atmosphere, the horror elements, the difficulty balance, the pacing – all perfect in my opinion. Yes, it’s difficult in places, but never unfairly so. A couple of times I’ve had to run away from a monster and come back better prepared, but I’ve never given up and despaired. – DismalFinding on Reddit
Fallout: London, set in the British city before the events of Fallout 3, has been a total success—even with all its installation issues and gameplay glitches. And you only need to take a look at the game’s social media and Reddit to see that.
In addition, it has very characteristic details that provide a lot of personality, such as the choice of weapons: they are European versions that reflect the American ones we have seen in Fallout 4as SrSerpiente indicates in his video. In any case, Fallout: London It is proof that crossing the pond is a good idea.
