Step into the retro-futuristic wasteland of Atomfall, revealed in an extended gameplay trailer showcasing its unique world and features. Set in a 1962 nuclear disaster quarantine zone in Northern England, players navigate a hazardous landscape, uncovering secrets through investigation and engaging dialogue with a cast of memorable NPCs. The game’s focus on player immersion is evident in the protagonist’s undefined identity, allowing for personalized interactions and shaping the narrative through choices.
Forget traditional quest structures; Atomfall prioritizes exploration and discovery, fostering a more authentic and engaging experience. Survival hinges on strategic resource management and bartering with traders, as currency is obsolete within the quarantine zone. The world teems with danger: gangs, cultists, mutants, and deadly machinery all pose threats. Careful inventory management is crucial, given limited carrying capacity, forcing players to make tough decisions about equipment. Navigating the environment is further complicated by the presence of traps and mines.
Visually, Atomfall maintains Rebellion’s signature atmospheric style, delivering a grim and intricately detailed depiction of post-disaster England, though the graphics aren't revolutionary. The limited inventory system adds a layer of strategic depth, demanding careful consideration of carried items. Players can upgrade their gear, particularly beneficial for melee weapons, often necessary when facing sect members, bandits, and mutants.
Atomfall launches March 27th for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and will be available on Game Pass from day one.
