The creators of Atomfall have unveiled an extended gameplay trailer, providing an in-depth look into the game's immersive world and its core features. The video showcases the game's unique retro-futuristic setting, set in a quarantine zone in northern England following a nuclear power plant disaster in 1962.
In Atomfall, players will explore this perilous environment while uncovering hidden secrets through investigations and engaging dialogues with a diverse cast of NPCs. The protagonist, designed to enhance player immersion, lacks a predefined identity, allowing for personalized interactions and a more tailored gameplay experience. Unlike typical quest-driven games, Atomfall emphasizes exploration and discovery, fostering a more authentic and engaging atmosphere.
Traders are pivotal to survival within the game, facilitating barter-based exchanges for essential resources, as currency holds no value in this isolated zone. Players must meticulously gather resources, navigating a world fraught with dangers such as gangs, cultists, mutants, and hazardous machinery. Effective inventory management is crucial, with limited space compelling players to make strategic decisions about what equipment to carry. The presence of traps and mines adds an extra layer of complexity to traversing the landscape.
Visually, Atomfall draws inspiration from Rebellion's previous works, presenting atmospheric yet not revolutionary graphics. The open-world portrayal of post-disaster England is both grim and meticulously detailed. The game's limited inventory system adds depth, challenging players to make strategic choices about gear. Upgrades are available, particularly for melee weapons, which are essential when facing off against sect members, bandits, and mutants.
Atomfall is set to launch on March 27th across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, and will be available on Game Pass from Day One, offering immediate access to this intriguing post-apocalyptic adventure.
