In a significant move, the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3’s Astarion, Neil Newbon, has joined the project, providing a major boost to the already highly anticipated mod.
Star-Studded Cast Boosts Anticipation
Although the update does not feature Newbon’s character speaking, it does include a glimpse of his actions in the desolate landscape of London. Newbon, an award-winning actor, brings a layer of star power to the mod, raising the bar for what fans can expect from the voice acting quality. The excitement around his involvement hints at the potential depth and character development that await players in Fallout: London.
The 14-minute video update also introduces other notable actors joining the voice cast. Anna Demetriou from A Plague Tale: Requiem, popular YouTuber Call Me Kevin, and prominent members of the Bethesda modding community, among others, are set to voice characters in this expansion. The mod’s team teases additional surprise voice talents to be revealed upon the mod’s release.
A Mod That Rivals Full-fledged Games
Fallout: London’s scope and professionalism place it in the upper echelon of mods, rivaling the complexity and quality of independent games. It follows the footsteps of other transformative mods like The Nameless Mod and Tamriel Rebuilt, leveraging the toolset of an existing game to create a new, immersive experience.
The mod has been recognized by PCG’s Chris Livingston as the standout announcement of E3 2021 and holds a spot among the top five most ambitious Fallout mods currently in development. The high anticipation for the mod reflects the community’s hope for a product that delivers on the excitement it has generated so far.
The addition of Neil Newbon’s voice to the Fallout: London mod has generated significant buzz, as fans anticipate an engaging experience in the game’s post-apocalyptic version of London. With a star-studded cast and a reputation for quality, the mod is poised to be a game-changer for the Fallout community upon its release in April.
