The British countryside, a tapestry of green hills, charming pubs, and iconic red phone boxes, serves as the backdrop for Rebellion’s latest gaming venture, Atomfall. This isn’t the pastoral Britain one might find in a Jane Austen novel; it’s a land transformed by a fictional nuclear disaster, drawing inspiration from the real-life events of the Windscale fire in 1957.
Atomfall thrusts players into a quarantine zone, a half-decade after the calamity, challenging them to navigate a world where normalcy has been upended. As players traverse through this altered landscape, they will encounter a cast of characters that could only emerge from such chaos: eccentric locals, malevolent cults, and shadowy government entities. Each interaction weaves into the narrative’s rich tapestry, painting a picture of a society grappling with the aftermath of catastrophe.
The game promises an open-world adventure, allowing players to uncover the truth behind the disaster at their own pace. Rebellion, known for their Sniper Elite and Zombie Army series, aims to blend elements of survival-action gameplay with a narrative that echoes the paranoia of the Cold War, the unsettling undercurrents of folk horror, and the imaginative flair of classic British science fiction.
Scheduled for release in 2025, Atomfall is set to join the ranks of Game Pass on its launch day, ensuring accessibility to a broad audience. It will also be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, catering to a variety of gaming preferences. With the studio poised to reveal more details, anticipation is building for what promises to be an immersive journey through a Britain reimagined in the shadow of atomic fear.
