Atomfall: A New Gameplay Trailer Unveils Post-Apocalyptic England
Rebellion Developments, renowned for the Sniper Elite series, ventures into new territory with Atomfall, a first-person survival game set in an alternate 1960s England following a devastating nuclear catastrophe. A recent seven-minute gameplay trailer offers a comprehensive look at the game's mechanics and setting.
The trailer establishes a world reminiscent of Fallout and STALKER, where players navigate quarantined zones, desolate villages, and abandoned research bunkers. Survival hinges on resource scavenging, crafting, and combat against hostile robots and cultists. The environment itself presents significant challenges.
Initial weapon choices appear relatively standard – a cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, and bolt-action rifle – but the trailer highlights upgrade options and suggests a wider arsenal awaits discovery. Crafting plays a crucial 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. Furthermore, players can unlock skills across four categories: melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning, enhancing their capabilities through found training manuals.
The gameplay showcases a blend of melee and ranged combat, emphasizing resource management and strategic skill development. The game's release is slated for March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, with day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass. Rebellion promises a further in-depth video soon, urging fans to stay tuned for more information.
