Atomfall: New Gameplay Trailer Unveils Post-Apocalyptic England
Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, plunges players into a chilling alternate 1960s England, devastated by nuclear catastrophe. A recently released gameplay trailer offers a deeper look at the game's mechanics and setting, hinting at a compelling experience for fans of titles like Fallout and STALKER.
Initially showcased at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, Atomfall, while perhaps overshadowed by other major announcements, quickly garnered attention due to its intriguing premise and day-one inclusion in Xbox Game Pass. With its March 27th release date rapidly approaching, Rebellion has unveiled a comprehensive seven-minute gameplay trailer.
The trailer establishes Atomfall's post-nuclear setting, depicting a bleak landscape where players navigate quarantine zones, deserted villages, and abandoned research bunkers. Survival hinges on resource scavenging, crafting, and combat against hostile robots and cultists. The harsh environment itself also presents a significant challenge.
Weaponry, while seemingly basic initially (a cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, and bolt-action rifle), is highlighted as upgradeable, suggesting a deeper arsenal awaits discovery. Crafting plays a crucial role, allowing players to create healing items and tactical tools such as Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in locating hidden supplies and crafting materials. Furthermore, the game features a skill tree system, allowing players to enhance their abilities in melee combat, ranged combat, survival techniques, and physical conditioning through collectible training manuals.
Atomfall's launch is scheduled for March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, with immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass. Rebellion has promised a further in-depth video showcasing additional details, encouraging fans to follow their social media channels for updates.
