Rebellion, creators of Sniper Elite, announce Atomfall, a new action and survival game inspired by a real nuclear disaster in Windscale, England.
atomfall It has been one of the most surprising “World Premieres” of the Xbox Games Showcase, because it avoided leaks and no one expected that the English from Rebellion, creators of Sniper Elite, would bring a new IP.
But Atomfall, an action and survival game confirmed for Xbox Series
Its about Windscale Incense 1957, in the north of England, when two nuclear reactors caught fire, releasing a lot of pollution, causing an estimated 240 deaths from cancer in subsequent years.
Explore a quarantine zone and the devastating effects of nuclear contamination
Set five years after the disaster, players will explore a fictional quarantine zone, searching for materials, crafting tools to survive, trading and fighting.
The idyllic British countryside is full of strange characters, mysticism, cults and corrupt government agencies and the occasional monster, played in first person (and single player only).
There is no shortage of robots, castles, the wicker manrituals of who knows what and monsters, in a game that seems to have a certain sense of black humor, much more than STALKER 2 (inspired by the Chernobyl disaster, but also exaggerated with all kinds of mutations).
Without a doubt, one of the most interesting games of the Xbox event and of the entire Summer Games Fest, but there has been much more, as we told you in the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 summary. Other games announced are.
atomfall will be released in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Unlike most games seen at the event, this one is not anticipated for Xbox Game Pass.
