Atomfall Previews Showcase Post-Apocalyptic RPG Journey

The international gaming press has shared their final previews for Atomfall, the eagerly awaited post-apocalyptic RPG crafted by Rebellion, the masterminds behind Sniper Elite. Critics have expressed their admiration, highlighting how Atomfall not only borrows inspiration from Bethesda’s iconic titles but also establishes a unique identity of its own.

Described as a British rendition of Fallout, Atomfall incorporates survival mechanics, a diverse selection of weapons, and an assortment of adversaries including cultists, robots, and mutants. Players can look forward to engaging in non-linear quests and a sophisticated dialogue system that enriches the game's narrative.

Exploration is a cornerstone of Atomfall. The protagonist, new to the world around them, depends on NPCs and tools like metal detectors to unearth hidden secrets throughout the environment. Journalists have lauded the game's focus on environmental storytelling and the thrill of discovery.

An intriguing aspect highlighted by reviewers is that firearms in Atomfall are not always dependable. Players often encounter shotguns with limited ammunition, left behind by farmers or bandits. Consequently, melee weapons and bows become crucial for survival in this challenging world.

Set in the year 1962 in northern England, Atomfall unfolds in the wake of a nuclear catastrophe at the Windscale power plant. Players will navigate a vast exclusion zone brimming with danger and mystery.

Atomfall is scheduled to launch on March 27 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Excitingly, it will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, offering immediate access to all subscribers.
