WhileFallout 4has come and gone, the modding community isn’t done with it quite yet. Nowhere is that more evident than withFallout Miami,a large-scale mod forFallout 4that’s looking to add an entirely new location to the game, complete with new weapons, enemies, and factions for players to interact with. It’s an ambitious project, and one that fans now have a better look at.
Recently, theFallout Miamiteam released a trailer giving a better look at the environment in post-apocalyptic Miami. It’s a drastic departure from what’s typically found inFalloutgames, boasting neon signage, vibrant colors, and beaches. However, the trailer features a broad range of locales, some featuring darker tones more aligned with a horror game than what fans expect from theFalloutfranchise.

In addition to the environments, players get to see some action. There are shootouts, bar fights, and plenty of ghouls popping up throughout the trailer, as well as some of the mod’s entirely new enemies. There’s a large, mutated alligator monster at one point, which moves similar to a deathclaw, one ofFallout’s most powerful enemies.
Fallout Miamiwas revealedin 2018 as part of a collaborative effort of making a large-scale mod. The team had a gap of radio silence, but updates have been rolling in since, offering players new information about what to expect from the mod. It’s one of many mods for Bethesda games that seem less like small touch-ups, and more like independently crafted expansions, or maybe even a full-fledged game.
TheFalloutfranchise has had a tumultuous time recently, with the troubledlaunch ofFallout 76acting as a serious stain on the game’s pedigree for many fans.Fallout 4received criticism for some of the changes it made to the series' formula, opting for a simplified dialogue menu and a voice-acted character, rather than the deeper RPG elements fans were accustomed to.
However, the modding community has taken it upon itself to expand on games wherever possible, with Bethesda games being perhaps the most supported. FromSkyrimtoFallout,Bethesda’s games have seen overhauls, expansions, and even work-in-progress remasters released for them. To a lesser degree, the PS4 and Xbox One versions have received mod support, but nothing quite on par with some of the lovingly crafted expansions that the PC community has managed to conjure up, which keeps the community alive even years after launch.
