Bethesda games have a long standing history with modding communities. Fallout 4 is no exception, with fans so desperate to tweak and alter the game several fans have struggled through making the changes without any developer support up until this point.
So far the previous popular Bethesda titles such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 3 have received developer created modding tools in the form of creation kits (G.E.C.K in the case of fallout for the fans) which allow modders to change various aspects of the experience.
In an interview with Gameinformer, Fallout 4 Director Todd Howard spoke about upcoming DLC for Fallout 4 as well as announcing that the modding tools for Fallout 4 would be releasing this April. The most exciting part? Not only are the modding tools coming very soon, but not long behind the PC release is a console release, that's right, modding being accessible from the console version of the game, which would make a first for video gaming in general.
"[Mod Support] will go up at that time on PC. In April,"
Said Todd Howard before also revealing that:
"It'll probably be a good month before it hits Xbox One, and another month for PlayStation 4."
As a final cherry on the Fallout cake, Todd spoke about the survival mode coming to the game which isn't "months and months" away, though he would not provide a more concrete time. On the matter he said:
"Survival mode has a lot of changes that can be pretty dramatic. Once we get it honed where it's working well enough, we're going to put it on Steam beta for a while. 'Here it is. Start playing it. Give us feedback.' It's far easier to update and iterate on [PC]. Once we settle on it, then we'll release it for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One."
