Atomfall Shows Off Gameplay Ahead of March Release



Summary

  • Atomfall by Rebellion is a first-person survival game set in an alternate 1960s England post-nuclear disaster.
  • The gameplay trailer reveals exploration of quarantine zones, crafting, battling robots, cultists, and upgrading weapons.
  • Players can expect a mix of melee and ranged combat, resource scavenging, and unlockable skills in the game.

New gameplay details have emerged by way of a new trailer for the first-person survival game from Rebellion Developments, Atomfall. Rebellion is known for its long-running Sniper Elite franchise, which really took off with 2012’s Sniper Elite V2. Atomfall‘s status as a full-on survival game is somewhat new territory for Rebellion, which has mostly made third-person action games and a few real-time-strategy titles.

Atomfall was first revealed back in June as part of Xbox’s widely praised Summer Game Fest showcase. While it may have been a bit overshadowed by some of the show’s bigger announcements, like Gears of War: E-Day, Doom: The Dark Ages, Perfect Dark’s gameplay reveal, and more, Atomfall‘s mysterious trailer still caught the attention of Xbox gamers, especially with the news that it’ll drop into Game Pass on day one. There’s been plenty of intrigue surrounding Atomfall since its reveal and fans have been wanting to learn more about it.

Overlooked and underrated, Fallout: London still seemingly paved the path for an upcoming Fallout-like game with a similar British setting to succeed.

With less than three months until Atomfall‘s March 27 release, Rebellion Developments has gone ahead and released a seven-minute narrated gameplay trailer. The trailer starts by setting the stage of Atomfall, revealing that the game is set in an alternate 1960s England that’s been ravaged by a nuclear disaster. It’s made clear that fans of franchises like Fallout and STALKER may feel at home in Atomfall, as players will be exploring quarantine zones, small villages, and research bunkers, scrounging resources to survive against robots, cultists, and some of the game’s hazardous environments.

Atomfall Receives Big New Gameplay Trailer

The trailer went on to showcase some of the weapons players will be able to get their hands on in Atomfall. The selection of armaments shown in the trailer seems quite basic, with only a cricket bat for melee, a revolver, a shotgun, and a bolt-action rifle. However, the trailer did mention these weapons are upgradable and there may be even more types of guns players can find in the open world. Players will be able to use resources to craft healing items and other tools for combat, like Molotov cocktails, sticky bombs, and more. Atomfall also offers players a metal detector that can be used to find caches of supplies and crafting items while out exploring the quarantine zone. Lastly, the Atomfall trailer touched on training manuals and unlockable skills that players can invest in that fall under four categories: melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning.

Atomfall is due to release on March 27 on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one. The end of the trailer mentioned that Rebellion is planning to release another deep dive video at some point soon, so interested gamers should keep an eye on Atomfall and Rebellion’s social media pages.
