Atomfall Unveils Gameplay Ahead of Launch

Atomfall: New Gameplay Trailer Reveals Post-Apocalyptic England

Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, plunges players into a chilling alternate 1960s England, devastated by nuclear catastrophe. A recently released gameplay trailer offers a deeper look at the game's core mechanics.

Fans of titles like Fallout and STALKER will find familiar elements in Atomfall's desolate landscape. The trailer showcases exploration of quarantine zones, abandoned villages, and mysterious research bunkers. Survival hinges on scavenging resources to craft essential items and combat a range of threats, including hostile robots and fanatical cultists.

The gameplay, as revealed in the seven-minute trailer, blends melee and ranged combat. While the weaponry initially appears somewhat rudimentary (a cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, and bolt-action rifle), the trailer highlights weapon upgrade systems, suggesting a wider arsenal awaits discovery. Crafting plays a vital role, allowing players to create healing items and tactical tools like Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in locating hidden supplies and crafting materials.

Character progression is facilitated through training manuals and unlockable skills categorized into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning. This skill tree system allows for player specialization and strategic adaptability.

Launching March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, Atomfall will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Rebellion has promised a further in-depth video soon, so fans should keep an eye on their social media channels for updates.
