Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, plunges players into a chilling alternate 1960s England, devastated by nuclear catastrophe. A recent seven-minute gameplay trailer offers a detailed look at the game's core mechanics.
The trailer highlights exploration of desolate quarantine zones, abandoned villages, and mysterious research bunkers. Survival hinges on resource scavenging amidst hazardous environments, and confronting threats ranging from hostile robots to fanatical cultists. Fans of titles like Fallout and STALKER will find familiar elements in Atomfall's bleak, post-nuclear landscape.
Atomfall, initially showcased at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, initially generated significant interest, particularly due to its day-one inclusion in Xbox Game Pass. This new trailer provides much-needed gameplay details, addressing the anticipation surrounding its March 27th release.
The gameplay showcased a blend of melee and ranged combat. While the weaponry initially appears fairly standard (cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, bolt-action rifle), the trailer emphasizes weapon upgrades and the possibility of discovering additional firearms within the game world. Crafting plays a key role, allowing players to create healing items and combat tools such as Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in uncovering hidden supplies and crafting materials. Furthermore, players can enhance their capabilities by finding training manuals and unlocking skills categorized into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning.
Atomfall launches March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass immediately. Rebellion plans to release another in-depth video soon, so stay tuned to their social media channels for updates.
