Atomfall: New Gameplay Trailer Unveils Post-Apocalyptic England
Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, has received an extensive gameplay trailer showcasing its post-nuclear 1960s England setting. The game, a departure from Rebellion's known Sniper Elite franchise, places players in a Fallout- and STALKER-esque world of quarantine zones, dilapidated villages, and abandoned research bunkers.
Initially revealed at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, Atomfall, while perhaps overshadowed by other major announcements, immediately intrigued players with its day-one Game Pass inclusion. Now, with its March 27th release date fast approaching, a seven-minute gameplay trailer offers a detailed look at its mechanics.
The trailer highlights the core survival gameplay loop: exploration, resource scavenging, and combat. Players will face off against hostile robots and cultists, navigating hazardous environments while utilizing a mix of melee and ranged combat. The weaponry, while initially appearing basic (cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, bolt-action rifle), is upgradeable, suggesting a wider arsenal awaits discovery. Crafting plays a key role, allowing players to create healing items and combat tools like Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in uncovering hidden supplies and crafting materials. Furthermore, a skill tree system, categorized into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning, allows for character progression and customization.
Atomfall will launch on March 27th for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Rebellion plans to release another in-depth video soon, promising further details for eager fans.
