Trailer reveals release date for new survival shooter set in nuclear ridden England
Atomfall transports players to a nuclear-ravaged region in the north of Great Britain, inspired by the Windscale disaster of 1957 - a lesser-known accident at a British nuclear power plant. The post-apocalyptic setting throws players into an open world with numerous ruins, fallout shelters, spiritual sites and other mystical locations. The aim is to unravel the mysteries surrounding the events at Windscale Station.
The game promises versatile gameplay. It combines first-person shooter mechanics with role-playing and survival elements. While unraveling the secrets of Windscale, you have to defend yourself against enemy gangs or irradiated creatures and collect vital resources. Decisions play a central role in the game and affect both the course of the story and the possible endings.
With its unique setting and an experienced developer like Rebellion, known for the successful Sniper Elite series, many see great potential in Atomfall. The trailer, showcasing in-game graphics, highlights the visual excellence of the game developed with Unreal Engine 5.
While the overall sentiment in the Reddit community is largely positive, the trailer has faced some criticism. For some Redditors, Atomfall seems "insubstantial" and like a generic open-world game. Whether the game can meet the high expectations will become clear on March 27, 2025. On this day, Atomfall will be officially released for PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
The standard edition of Atomfall is priced at $50. Players who choose the Deluxe Edition for $70 will gain three days of early access along with exclusive skins. Atomfall will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, with no additional costs for subscribers.
