The makers of the Fallout London mod have announced many impressive details about the game, which we'll recap later in this article, but the latest news from the final progress video is that none other than Neil Newbon will lend his voice acting chops to the game.

Neil Newbon has worked on many games, starting with Funcom's The Secret World and then Digital Extremes' Warframe, Mercurysteam's Spacelords, Quantic Dream's Detroit: Become Human, Compulsion Games' We Happy Few, CAPCOM's Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil Village, BioWare's Star Wars The Old Republic, Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVI, and KeokeN's Deliver Us Mars.
