Atomfall: Extended Gameplay Trailer Reveals World and Survival Details

The creators of Atomfall have unveiled an extended gameplay trailer that provides an in-depth look at the game's intriguing world and its core mechanics. The video showcases the game's distinctive retro-futuristic setting, set in a quarantine zone in northern England after a nuclear power plant disaster in 1962.

Players will immerse themselves in this perilous environment, exploring and uncovering secrets through interactions with a variety of colorful NPCs. The protagonist, designed to enhance player immersion, comes with no predefined identity, allowing for tailored interactions that enrich the gaming experience. Unlike conventional quest-driven games, Atomfall promotes a gameplay style focused on exploration and discovery, making the experience feel more authentic and engaging.

In Atomfall, traders are essential for survival, facilitating barter-based exchanges of vital resources, as traditional currency is worthless within the quarantine zone. Players must meticulously gather resources, navigating a world filled with threats such as gangs, cultists, mutants, and hazardous machinery. Managing a limited inventory becomes crucial, compelling players to make tough choices about which equipment to carry. The presence of traps and mines adds another layer of challenge to movement within the game.

Visually, Atomfall draws inspiration from Rebellion's past projects, delivering atmospheric yet not revolutionary graphics. The open-world portrayal of post-disaster England is both grim and meticulously detailed. The game's limited inventory system adds a strategic element, requiring players to make calculated decisions about item retention. Additionally, gear upgrades are available, particularly enhancing melee weapons, which are essential when facing off against sect members, bandits, and mutants.

Atomfall is set to launch on March 27th for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and will be available on Day One through Game Pass, offering players immediate access to this unique gaming experience.
