The creators of Atomfall have unveiled an extended gameplay trailer, providing a comprehensive look into the game's immersive world and its core features. The video showcases the game's unique retro-futuristic setting, set in a quarantine zone in northern England following a nuclear power plant disaster in 1962.
As players, you'll explore this treacherous landscape, uncovering hidden secrets through engaging investigations and conversations with a variety of colorful NPCs. The protagonist is intentionally designed without a predefined identity, fostering a deeper sense of immersion and allowing for personalized interactions. Unlike typical quest-driven games, Atomfall prioritizes exploration and discovery, enhancing the authenticity of the player's experience.
Traders are pivotal for survival within the game, facilitating barter-based exchanges of vital resources, as currency has no value in this isolated zone. Surviving requires meticulous resource gathering, with constant threats from gangs, cultists, mutants, and dangerous machinery scattered throughout the environment. Managing your inventory becomes crucial, as limited space compels you to make tough choices about which equipment to carry. The presence of traps and mines further challenges your navigation skills.
Visually, Atomfall reflects the signature style of Rebellion, with atmospheric yet not revolutionary graphics. The open-world representation of post-disaster England is both grim and meticulously detailed. The game's inventory limitations add a layer of complexity, pushing players to strategize about which items to keep. Gear upgrades, particularly for melee weapons, are available and prove essential when facing sect members, bandits, and mutants.
Mark your calendars—Atomfall is set to launch on March 27th for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with the added benefit of Day One availability on Game Pass.
