The cult-classic prequel to Fallout: New Vegas has officially launched on the GOG platform as a one-click install mod. This release is part of the platform's video game preservation initiative and will provide fans with high-quality content while they wait for the next official games in the series.
Fallout: New California is considered one of the most ambitious and highly rated fan projects. Its development history spans years: the first part was released in 2013, and the second and final installment (although three were originally planned) came out in 2018.
The game takes place in a brand-new region of the California wasteland. Players begin their journey as a completely new character in Vault 18 and dive into an original story.
Key features of the mod include:
The mod's release on GOG comes amidst the overall active development of the Fallout franchise. Recently, Bethesda Game Studios revealed its roadmap for the series, which includes remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, new expansions for Fallout 76 and Fallout Shelter, and the upcoming release of Fallout 5 (which will likely not arrive until 2035).
Outside the gaming industry, the universe is also expanding rapidly: filming for the third season of the Prime Video Fallout series is currently underway, and a new reality show based on Fallout Shelter is in production. However, until these new releases arrive, Fallout: New California serves as an excellent way for players to spend time in their favorite post-apocalyptic world.
