Fallout: the new Californian mod released for players looking for a solo player

After seven years of development by a team of dedicated volunteers, Fallout: New California launches today. The mod uses 2010 Fallout: New Vegas as a base, a title widely considered to have some of the best writing of all modern Fallout games. Also known as Brazil Project, the output of the mod is obviously coincided with the first closed beta for Fallout 76, the first online multiplayer entry in franchise history.

According to its developers, New California is intended to bridge the gap between Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. It tells the story of what happened after the war between the new Republic of California and the enclave, all in the perspective of a cellar dweller raised by a faction of rugged scouts in the mountains of San Bernardino.

The whole experience should last from six to 30 hours, depending on the landscape you choose to explore. And in the classic style of Fallout, the mod would have 13 possible ends.

Table fans may remember that Fantasy Flight Games released a Fallout boardgame licensed at the end of last year. Several months ago, we learned that the company was considering an expansion, also called Fallout: New California. This sent the team behind the PC mod scrambling. But the conflicts were settled behind the scenes, and the PC mod and the table game were allowed to go unchecked.

Fallout: New California requires the property of Fallout: New Vegas run. You can download the mod for free on ModDB.
