Fallout 4’s delayed current gen upgrade is coming this month

A player-run troupe of actors will be performing an adaptation of Richard III in Fallout 76, featuring a "ghoul" in the lead role. They're partly inspired by the recent Fallout TV show, which puts a jaded cowboy ghoul in a pivotal role and has lead to an increase in players of the online multiplayer RPG. This production will likely be more faithful to the bard than to Amazon Prime. It will open with the lines: "Now is the nuclear winter of our discontent."

Fallout 4's current-gen update should now be available to anyone who plays the game via PlayStation Plus, regardless of their subscription tier. This comes after the update's initial launch last week, which was inaccessible to those who got the game through the now-defunct PS Plus Collection.

Fallout 4's latest update was in the works for a while and originally planned to go live last year. So, when it eventually launched just after the hype from the TV show adaptation, it was a big deal - although not the best deal out there for those playing with mods.

The recently released and critically acclaimed Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime has been renewed for a second season already.

Amazon Prime's Fallout TV show has been renewed for a second season.

Fallout 4 was the best selling game across Europe last week.

Bethesda's very own Mr Handy (director and executive producer) Todd Howard has addressed the controversy surrounding the Fallout TV show's treatment of Fallout backstory, reaffirming the canonicity of Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas and promising that Bethesda and Amazon are being "careful" to maintain consistency between the games and the TV series. Are you new to this latest lore scandal? Watch out for Fallout Season 1 spoilers ahead, then.

Amazon's Fallout TV show has — a few minor controversies aside — been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while the show has covered plenty of the video games' post-apocalyptic basics — from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec — not everything made the cut, and its creators have now explained they deliberately held back some «iconic» stuff, including Deathclaws, to better do them justice in a potential Season 2.

There is a ton of love right now for the Fallout franchise. Fans can’t get enough of the IP thanks to the recently successful release of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout. The series adaptation of the franchise launched last week, and fans could sit through all eight episodes as we watched a vault dweller from Vault 33 Surface to the Wasteland. However, for future releases, fans mainly only had Fallout London to look forward to playing. That’s recently changed. 

Fallout: London, the Fallout 4 mod set in a post-apocalyptic English capital that’s large enough to effectively be its own game, has been hit by an indefinite delay just two weeks from its planned release date. The reason? Fallout 4’s long-in-the-works next-gen update is now due to drop just two days after London’s planned launch date, which its fan devs say will “simply break” the ambitious project.

Numerous games in the Fallout series have seen their player counts dramatically rise following the release of the Fallout TV show.

Ahead of Fallout 4's upcoming next-gen update, the highly anticipated mod Fallout: London has confirmed that it is delaying its April 23 release date. The release of any Fallout 4 update has the potential to break mods, and the Fallout: London team is just getting ahead of any issues that may occur.
