Rebellion has just released the first-ever deep dive video for Atomfall. The video breaks down many of the game’s core mechanics and provides a fresh look into the world that we’ll be exploring when the game releases.

Atomfall Gameplay Deep Dive

 

About Atomfall:

Opening in the style of a classic 1950s news reel, this latest trailer offers a closer look at Atomfall’s setting in the North of England. Atomfall is inspired by the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster and the story picks up five years later in a fictionalised quarantine zone that encompasses rolling countryside, valleys, caves and even a picturesque English village.

But this picture-perfect postcard setting is a hostile landscape that hides a dark mystery. To get to the bottom of what happened at Windscale, you will need to navigate military encampments, delve through abandoned bunkers below ground, and risk your life in Pagan ruins. Your trusty metal detector will also help you uncover a few secrets buried beneath the surface!

Central to the dark mystery are the host of eccentric characters and cryptic organisations that inhabit the quarantine zone. These individuals have been cut off from the outside world for years and left to their own devices, so are anything but normal. Your interactions with them are important and will shape your journey. But be careful, they aren’t all friendly and you will need to get to grips with an array of ranged and melee weapons if you are to survive.

Based on the footage above, inspiration is definitely being taken from both the Bioshock and Fallout franchises. Let us hope that it plays and looks just as good as when it releases because it does look really good, and personally, I wouldn’t be against having more Fallout-esque titles. 

Atomfall is slated to release in March 2025 for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. It’ll also be included on Xbox Game Pass day one for subscribers.
