As Fallout TV show hype continues but Fallout 4's new-gen upgrade falters, the DLC-sized Fallout Miami mod takes the post apocalypse to the beach with a new trailer

Fallout hype is truly inescapable at this point, with the TV show driving popularity and Fallout 4 even getting its long-awaited next-gen update (even if the latter has been considered rather disappointing by many). One way or another, everyone is trying to live their best post-nuclear apocalypse life right now, and this enormous mod for Fallout 4 looks like it'll enable us to do just that. 

Fallout: Miami is a DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4, which has been in development for years – it received its first trailer all the way back in 2018. As its name suggests, it'll take players to Miami Beach, in an area which will, according to the devs, roughly span "South Pointe Pier to Fontainebleau Hotel." It's set to feature a main quest, along with new side-quests and items, as well as a cast of voiced characters.  

The full mod still doesn't have a release window, but the team has released a new environmental trailer showing off a work-in-progress look at everywhere from the beach itself, to the degraded streets, and the insides of multiple buildings, seemingly including the Miami Beach Convention Center. All in all, it's looking really promising, and for anyone feeling let down by Fallout 4's official next-gen update, the thought of this being released at some point in the future might offer some consolation.

Fallout: Miami isn't the only enormous mod that's in the works for Fallout 4 right now. The highly anticipated Fallout: London mod was actually supposed to launch earlier this week, but it's been indefinitely delayed as a result of the next-gen update's release consequently requiring new fixes to be implemented. At the time of writing, the Fallout: London team hasn't given a fresh release window, so we'll just have to stay tuned.
