Atomfall: A New Gameplay Trailer Unveils Post-Apocalyptic England
Rebellion Developments' upcoming first-person survival game, Atomfall, receives an extensive gameplay showcase. Set in an alternate 1960s England devastated by nuclear war, Atomfall offers a unique blend of survival mechanics and combat reminiscent of titles like Fallout and STALKER.
The recently released seven-minute trailer highlights key gameplay features. Players will explore desolate quarantine zones, dilapidated villages, and mysterious research bunkers, scavenging for resources to survive. Combat will involve a mix of melee and ranged encounters against hostile robots and fanatical cultists, navigating hazardous environments.
While the weaponry initially appears somewhat limited – a cricket bat, revolver, shotgun, and bolt-action rifle – the trailer emphasizes weapon upgrades and the potential for a wider arsenal. Crafting plays a crucial role, allowing players to create healing items and explosive devices such as Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. A metal detector aids in locating hidden supplies and crafting materials. Furthermore, a skill tree system with four branches – melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning – allows for character progression and customization.
Initially revealed during Xbox's Summer Game Fest showcase, Atomfall will launch on March 27th for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Rebellion plans to release another in-depth video soon, so fans should stay tuned for further updates.
