The upcoming Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London creators have requested voice actors. The 2015 release of the fourth installment in the long-running role-playing game series was met with widespread acclaim due to the series’ reputation as a cherished post-apocalyptic property.
Modern adaptations by Bethesda have moved the games into the AAA sector. However, fans of the original isomeric releases from the late ’90s may believe that the newer games have lost touch with some of the series’ roots.
For those unaware, the upcoming Fallout: London mod is a highly ambitious expansion set in the United Kingdom’s capital. Players will be able to explore a post-nuclear wasteland outside of the United States in 2237, between the events of the first and second Fallout games, and interact with new groups spanning a large portion of London’s significant boroughs.
No specific date has been set for the mod’s release, although the developer anticipates it will be available in 2023. But until then, they are still working tirelessly and are actively recruiting new members. The ambitious Fallout 4 mod is looking for voice actors to add their talents to the project.
The project’s setting in the United Kingdom necessitates a wide range of British accents, but the casting call doesn’t specify that the actors must be British citizens.
The lines of dialogue will be provided. However, participants can improvise a little. Applications from interested parties are being accepted through Google Docs, and the recording process will take place between April and October of this year.
There have been many fantastic mods for Fallout 4 throughout the years, but London has the potential to be one of the largest ever to be released. While there are no immediate plans to bring the project to consoles, PC players with the base game and any official downloadable content can enjoy it as soon as it becomes available.
The Fallout series is renowned for its dark satirical perspective on society and its many vaults, which verge on the experimental. The games also include expansive open landscapes with numerous NPCs to interact with.
Fans are eager to see what comes next after Bethesda confirmed that Fallout 5 is in development and will be released in the future, even though it will be several years before the game is playable. The PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of Fallout 4 are currently available, with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in the works.

Fly High in a Retro-Futuristic World in this Fallout-Style RPG
If you long for the isometric RPG format of the original PC versions of Fallout, some of the best games of all time, we have some good news for you. The studio head of New Blood Interactive, creators of the throwback first-person shooter Dusk, recently released some exciting new gameplay footage of their upcoming retro-futuristic game, which takes heavy inspiration from the earliest games in the Fallout series.
The team’s goal is to create “a living, breathing, retro-futuristic (but sometimes seedy) world for NB RPG,” the working title, and Dave Oshry uses the regular ‘Screenshot Saturday’ hashtag, used by many game developers to show progress on upcoming games, to showcase their progress.
Oshry comments, “That means a lot of flying cars.” Outside of a movie theater that seems to be inspired by Blade Runner and New Blood’s crime noir first-person shooter Fallen Aces, we catch a glimpse of a very stylish, comprehensive silver car floating in the air. He also peeks at a few skyscrapers, switching to the interiors before finally showing their entire height.
Really been pushing Alexander to make sure we've got a living, breathing, retro-futuristic (but sometimes seedy) world for NB RPG. That means a lot of flying cars.#ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev pic.twitter.com/gMUiQhVQ1Y

Those familiar with the original Fallout games will recognize the lip sync tests and the Pip-Boy user interface used for the talking head conversations. The character models look very realistic, with one character sporting a hybrid of a “biometric scanner” and a “VR headset” for a headpiece.
You can also find models and animation tests for various weapons, from old standbys like the M16 and the revolver to fan favorites like the crowbar from Half-Life to futuristic blasters that hold bubbling vials of green liquid and crackle with energy when fired.
We see some potential journal layouts, complete with white space for all the notes and sketches you’ll make as you investigate.
