Last fall, the creators of the large fan mod "Fallout: New Mexico" released the first new gameplay trailer in a long time, which whets the appetite of players.However, they have now decided to cancel the subsequent development of the project.

In August 2024, the main creator of mod who returned to work after solving personal problems, named Zapshock, announced the cancellation of the development of "Fallout: New Mexico" on the project's official Discord server.

According to Zapshock, creating “Fallout: New Mexico” has been his love for the past few years, but now it’s time for him to “focus on his own mental health and face reality.”

The mod creator explained: "The team is small (less than four people), the workload is extremely large, and the price (both money and personal energy) is too high. For me and the voice actors,For others inside, it doesn’t make sense to continue.”

Zapshock thanked everyone who supported Fallout: New Mexico and asked the community to understand: “It’s painful to let go of what you put your heart into, but it’s necessary.”

The story of "Fallout: New Mexico" is set five years after the finale of the first generation of Fallout.The once prosperous metropolis, Mexico City, has now become a ruin, becoming a battlefield for various forces to fight for dominance and survival opportunities.

The mod makers originally promised to bring many elements of the modern Fallout series (such as traditional role-playing game elements and the emphasis on player decisions), as well as original soundtracks and character dubbing.
