Atomfall: A New Gameplay Trailer Unveils 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 following a devastating nuclear catastrophe. A recent seven-minute gameplay trailer offers a substantial look at the game's mechanics and setting.
The trailer establishes a bleak, post-nuclear landscape reminiscent of Fallout and STALKER. Players will navigate quarantine zones, dilapidated villages, and abandoned research bunkers, scavenging resources to survive. The gameplay emphasizes a blend of melee and ranged combat against robotic adversaries and fanatical cultists, along with navigating hazardous environments.
Weaponry, while initially appearing basic (cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, bolt-action rifle), is upgradeable, hinting at a wider arsenal to discover. Crafting plays a key role, allowing players to create healing items and offensive tools like Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in locating hidden supplies and crafting materials. Character progression involves unlocking skills categorized into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning, through the acquisition of training manuals.
Initially showcased at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, Atomfall generated considerable buzz, particularly with its day-one inclusion in Xbox Game Pass. The new trailer further fuels anticipation, showcasing the game's atmosphere and core mechanics.
Atomfall launches March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, with immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass. Rebellion plans to release another in-depth video soon, so stay tuned to their social media channels for updates.
