Rebellion Developments’ Atomfall has seen a strong reception since launching on March 27th, with 1.5 million players thus far. As told to IGN, this makes it the most successful launch in the studio’s history, which is impressive considering it’s a new IP.
CEO and co-founder Jason Kingsley said, “We are delighted that so many players are enjoying Atomfall. To have surpassed the 1 million players in such a short time speaks volumes for the creativity and dedication of the entire team here at Rebellion. Our size and stability mean we can take risks to create something as different as Atomfall. Happily, that risk is paying off.
“We are a British company, and the game is a true reflection of that. Not only is it set in the lush, beautiful countryside, but Atomfall also draws inspiration from many classic British books, films and TV series. We hope that players continue to enjoy exploring the world of Atomfall and are looking forward to future content for the game.”
Along with consoles and PC, Atomfall is available on Game Pass. As such, sales are unknown, but Rebellion did provide some interesting stats. Players have drunk 300,000 cups of tea, consumed over four million pastries, and killed more than 3.7 million with the Cricket Bat. It also seems that over 316,000 killed the scientist at the start, perhaps as a precursor for slaying every NPC (which you can absolutely do).
