Atomfall

After an extensive showcase during Xbox @ Gamescom’s livestream, Rebellion’s Atomfall received a new gameplay trailer at the Future Games Show. It sees associate head of design Ben Fisher discussing the survival action title, complete with new gameplay. Check it out below.

When you look at Atomfall, other post-apocalyptic titles like Metro and Fallout may come to mind. That’s intentional, with Fisher also noting BioShock as an influence. Players awaken in a mysterious bunker and venture into a quarantine zone following the 1957 Windscale nuclear disaster in the UK. However, their identity remains a mystery.

Various clues about your backstory await to be discovered throughout the world. You can find and craft gear and weapons while scrounging for resources. Beware of those within the zone – not everyone wants to talk peacefully. Fisher notes that the team approaches difficulty differently and confirms accessibility options.

Atomfall launches in March 2025 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. It’s also coming to Game Pass on day one.
