Atomfall Shows Off Gameplay Ahead of March Release

Atomfall: New Gameplay Trailer Reveals Post-Apocalyptic 1960s England

Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, plunges players into an alternate 1960s England devastated by nuclear war. A new seven-minute gameplay trailer offers a detailed look at the game's world and mechanics.

The trailer highlights exploration of desolate landscapes, including quarantine zones, villages, and research bunkers. Survival hinges on scavenging resources, crafting essential items, and mastering combat against robotic foes and cultist factions. Gameplay blends melee and ranged combat, demanding strategic resource management.

Initially unveiled at Xbox's Summer Game Fest, Atomfall initially shared the spotlight with other major announcements. However, its intriguing premise and day-one Game Pass inclusion quickly garnered attention.

The recently released trailer confirms the game's setting and core gameplay loop. Fans of titles like Fallout and STALKER will find familiar elements in Atomfall's exploration and survival challenges. Players will navigate hazardous environments, seeking supplies to craft weapons, tools, and healing items. The crafting system allows for the creation of Molotov cocktails, sticky bombs, and other tactical aids. A metal detector assists in locating hidden resources.

Weapon choices initially appear limited to a cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, and bolt-action rifle, but the trailer emphasizes weapon upgrades and the possibility of discovering additional firearms. The skill system, divided into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning categories, allows for character progression and strategic specialization.

Atomfall launches March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass immediately. Rebellion plans to release another in-depth video soon, so fans should stay tuned for further updates.
