Rebellion Developments revealed Atomfall’s upcoming story expansion in Wicked Isle, and fans won’t have to wait long to go hands-on. In a new gameplay overview, the developer breaks down what to expect from the new location and the threats that await.
Accessed from a boat in Windham Village, Midsummer Isle is isolated from the rest of the quarantine zone. However, it expands on the lore with some leads taking you back to the zone and opening alternate endings. You’ll wind up in an abandoned fishing village but venture into dense forests and an old abbey’s ruins (where the Monk’s Grove resides in secret).
Lake Bandits and Druids are the more common threats, but you’ll also have to beware of the new aquatic Ferals (who look like Mermen). Fortunately, there are some new weapons to help out. The Blunderbuss shotgun ignites enemies and can discharge both shells at a time, while the corrupted dagger deals more damage to infected enemies. You can even apply poison to arrows.
There are also four new skills, including decomposition to discretely dispose of bodies after a silent takedown. Atomfall: Wicked Isle launches on June 3rd for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Check out our review of the base game here.
