Roughly two weeks after the release of Fallout: London , the big Fallout 4 mod that takes the post-apocalyptic RPG overseas, digital distribution store GOG.com revealed that the expansion-sized mod has become the "fastest redeemed game of all time" on its platform. In a press release published on Friday, GOG revealed that in the first 24 hours, Fallout: London was redeemed "more than 500,000 times," taking the crown as the fastest downloaded game of all time for its storefront alone.
"The initial release of Fallout: London quickly turned out to be an incredible success – and a prime example of how work of passion and creativity can bring in a plethora of new, exciting ways to enjoy a game," GOG wrote in a press release. That success has been so great, in fact, that the mod's developers announced in an interview with BBC that they're planning to formally start their own game development studio. Though Fallout: London is a free mod, as Team Folon's Dean Carter said in the interview, "free doesn't pay the bills.
" The creators have been accepting donations, and seem to be preparing to use that funding to make Team Folon into a full-fledged studio. "What we've done with that is we're channelling that into team Folon, which is what we're going to be moving into, and then we should hopefully launch our own indie games company," he said. Fallout: London was initially announced in June 2021 as a DLC-sized mod for the 2015 action RPG Fallout 4.
