Atomfall Shows Off Gameplay Ahead of March Release

Atomfall: A New Gameplay Trailer Reveals Post-Apocalyptic England

Rebellion Developments, renowned for the Sniper Elite series, ventures into new territory with Atomfall, a first-person survival game set in an alternate 1960s England, devastated by nuclear catastrophe. A recently released gameplay trailer offers a significant look at the game's mechanics.

Initially unveiled at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, Atomfall generated buzz, particularly with its day-one inclusion in Xbox Game Pass. The game's premise, reminiscent of titles like Fallout and STALKER, promises a compelling survival experience.

The seven-minute trailer showcases exploration of diverse environments, including quarantine zones, villages, and research bunkers. Players will scavenge resources to survive encounters with hostile robots and cultists, while navigating hazardous environments.

Combat will blend melee and ranged styles. While the trailer highlights a relatively basic initial arsenal (cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, bolt-action rifle), it emphasizes weapon upgrades and the potential for discovering a wider array of firearms. Crafting plays a key role, allowing players to create healing items and combat tools such as Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in locating hidden supplies and crafting materials.

Character progression involves unlockable skills categorized into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning. These skills, acquired through training manuals, will likely be crucial for navigating the game's challenges.

Atomfall launches March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and will be immediately available on Xbox Game Pass. Rebellion plans to release another in-depth video soon, so stay tuned to their social media channels for updates.
