Atomfall's extended gameplay trailer unveils a captivating retro-futuristic world. Set in a 1962 nuclear disaster quarantine zone in northern England, players explore a hazardous landscape, uncovering secrets through investigation and NPC interactions. The player-driven protagonist lacks a predefined identity, fostering personalized gameplay.
Exploration and discovery are paramount, replacing traditional quest structures for a more immersive experience. Survival hinges on bartering essential resources with traders, as currency is worthless within the quarantine zone. Players face constant threats: gangs, cultists, mutants, and dangerous machinery. Careful resource management is crucial due to limited inventory space. Navigating treacherous terrain is further complicated by traps and mines.
Visually, Atomfall maintains Rebellion's atmospheric style, presenting a grim and detailed open-world post-disaster England. The limited inventory adds a strategic layer to gameplay, forcing players to prioritize essential items. Gear upgrades, especially for melee weapons, prove vital against hostile factions and mutated creatures.
Atomfall arrives on March 27th for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and will be available on Game Pass from day one.
