In two months, Rebellion Studios is set to release Atomfall, a significant project that marks their entry into open-world gaming between the installments of the Sniper Elite series. A detailed 7-minute video provides insight into what players can expect from this first-person survival and action game, which draws inspiration from real events. Set in 1957, five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in northern England, Atomfall’s storyline centers around a fictional quarantine zone where players must gather objects, craft them, trade for resources, and engage with various eccentric characters, religious cults, and corrupt government agencies within an enigmatic atmosphere. The gameplay emphasizes gunfights, incorporating elements from the Sniper Elite series by focusing on precise aim and energy management for critical strikes. Additionally, Atomfall will feature violent melee combat as promised.
The release of Atomfall is anticipated for March 25, 2025 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and Xbox One.
