Summary
Despite the fantastic news thatFallout: London is almost ready to launch again, some of those eagerly anticipating the title will be facing a minor speedbump, as GOG has confirmed that the DLC-sizedFallout 4mod won’t be playable on the Epic Games Store at launch.
The road to release has been rocky for Fallout: London, with its most recent setbackcausing another delayand requiring fans todowngrade their games to the pre-next-gen patch version. Now, while not as critical, this Epic Games Store news will leave a contingent of players needing to source a new copy of the game if they want to play it at launch.
GOG Confirms Epic Games Store Unavailable At Launch
Speaking toVG247, GOG confirmed that due to limitations on the Epic Games store, anybody who purchased the game there will find themselves in a sticky situation. Unlike GOG, which offers the feature, theEpic Games Storedoesn’t currently allow players to roll back their games to a previous update version. With this being a requirement for Fallout: London to work withFallout4, players are stuck.
GOG was quick to pat itself on the back, as it offers “a very simple and convenient rollback feature,” which is music to the ears of anybody who owns the game through theCD Projekt-ownedplatform.
Steam users, while a little more complicated, will have a path to roll back their version of Fallout 4. Work is currently underway on “a downgrading tool and/or manual downgrading” that should allow players to get Fallout: London up and running without a hitch.
Ahead of itsimminent launch,GOG is testing Fallout: London. Team FOLON recently shared that it is waiting for the “final green light” from the storefront, which will mean that the mod is finally “good to go.” Initially set to launch on April 23, andonly available on PC, the game recently added a bizarre name to its star-studded voice cast. JoiningNeil Newbon, John Bercow, the former Speaker of the House of Commons,will have a cameo role in the game.
