Atomfall: New Gameplay Trailer Unveils Post-Apocalyptic England

Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, plunges players into an alternate 1960s England devastated by nuclear disaster. A new, extensive gameplay trailer offers a detailed look at the game's mechanics and setting. Fans of Fallout and STALKER will find familiar elements in Atomfall's exploration of quarantined zones, dilapidated villages, and mysterious research bunkers.

Initially showcased at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, Atomfall, while perhaps overshadowed by other major announcements, generated significant buzz due to its intriguing premise and day-one inclusion in Xbox Game Pass. The recently released seven-minute trailer finally sheds light on many gameplay aspects.

The trailer highlights the game's core survival loop: scavenging resources, crafting essential items, and engaging in both melee and ranged combat against hostile robots and cultists. Weapon options, while initially appearing basic (a cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, and bolt-action rifle), are upgradeable, hinting at a broader arsenal awaiting discovery. Crafting extends beyond weaponry to include healing items and tactical tools like Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in locating hidden supplies and crafting materials. Character progression involves unlocking skills across four categories: melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning, providing strategic depth.

Atomfall launches March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, with immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass. Rebellion promises a further in-depth video soon, encouraging fans to stay tuned for more updates.
