It’s been nearly eight years since I wrote about Fallout Cascadia, a total conversion mod for Bethesda’s Fallout 4 game. I nearly forgot about it, which is understandable since the last showcase video the modding team pushed on YouTube was dated July 2021.
That changed today. Fallout Cascadia isn’t dead after all, as proven by the new Spring 2024 showcase trailer. The team said:
A lot of work has been done in the years since our last showcase videos, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to see what we have in store.
Unfortunately, there’s still no release date in sight, and the team is still recruiting, but the upcoming launch of Fallout London shows that there is hope for these big total conversion mods. As with Fallout London, you will need to own all Fallout 4 DLCs and install the Fallout 4 Script Extender, which also means the mod will only be available on PC.
Fallout Cascadia aims to bring the Fallout experience to the Pacific Northwest and let you explore the massive ruins of Seattle, meet the NCR once again, and stumble across new enemies and factions, all through the eyes of our new protagonist – the Drifter. It is set in the year 2329 in the Seattle metro area, approximately 40 years after the events in the Commonwealth.
Fallout Cascadia is centered around the massive ruins of downtown Seattle. The world itself is one of the biggest ones ever seen in the Fallout setting as far as playable space goes, with several settlements to visit, massive forests and swamps to traverse and several unique locations all with their own stories. All accompanied by all new quests and enemies.
We have taken great strides over the years of development, making sure the shortcomings of Fallout 4 have been addressed, everything from the stunted dialogue system to the removal of skills and traits and the durability systems for equipment, they’re all making a return in Fallout Cascadia.
In other Fallout news, the Prime Video TV show is out in just a few hours. The first episode will actually be free to view via Twitch if you watch it via select streamers.
