There’s nothing like a pleasant walk through one of England’s beautiful National parks – the Lake District, but as you do. you could easily be unaware that sitting nearby on the coast are both Heysham Nuclear Power Plant and Sellafield (formally Windscale), with the latter being the scene of this alternative universe sounds-a-bit-like-Fallout-but-isn’t adventure game from Rebellion.
It’s been a big couple of months for Rebellion on Xbox Game Pass with the recent release of Sniper Elite: Resistance and now Atomfall, which will arrive on the service as a day-one release on the 27th of March.
Atomfall is picking up some decent coverage, you can read our latest piece on it right here and as we get closer to the release of the survival action game, we now have a new trailer to pore over showing some of the features we can expect, alongside showcasing how we ill first enter the world of Atomfall.
Opening in an abandoned bunker five years after a nuclear disaster in Northern England, the trailer shows how players enter the world of Atomfall. In this scene, an unnamed worker in a hazmat suit stumbles into your room and asks, ‘Who are you?’
From here the trailer teases more of the settings and landscapes that players will need to explore as they get to grips with life inside the quarantine zone. This slice of Northern England includes everything from open moors, rugged hills, dense woodlands, and the picture-perfect English village of Wyndham. But beware, this is a dangerous and hostile landscape filled with gangs of outlaws, crazed cultists, and unexplained horrors. Even the local wildlife poses an immense threat to your life.
Atomfall comes on day one to Game Pass and will also be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
If you intend to buy the game rather than play on Game Pass it is available for pre-order now.
Gamers who pre-order the Standard Edition (available both physically and digitally) of Atomfall® will receive the Basic Supply Bundle DLC which offers additional items and supplies to uncover as you explore.
In addition to the Basic Supply Bundle DLC, the (digital only) Deluxe Edition also gives players an Enhanced Supply Bundle, which includes an exclusive pistol variant, metal detector skin, and a skill manual giving character upgrades, as well as three days early access. Players will also receive the Story Expansion DLC when released
