Atomfall: A British Post-Apocalyptic Adventure
Get ready for Atomfall, a unique survival-action game set in a 1960s Northern England quarantine zone five years after a nuclear disaster. Developed by Rebellion (known for Sniper Elite), this isn't your typical post-apocalyptic game. It blends elements of Fallout and Elden Ring, offering a gripping story, eccentric characters, and a surprisingly humorous take on a bleak setting. This article covers everything you need to know about pre-orders, editions, Game Pass availability, and what critics are saying.
What to Expect in Atomfall
Explore a vibrant, yet desolate, English countryside teeming with cultists, rogue agents, and other unusual characters. Scavenge resources, craft items, and engage in both combat and dialogue to survive. The game emphasizes player agency, letting you shape your experience. The investigation system, likened to a detective mystery, guides you through the narrative by uncovering clues and leads. While combat and stealth might feel a bit rough around the edges, the unique setting, strong writing, and memorable characters make it a compelling experience.
Editions & Pre-orders
Atomfall releases on March 27th (standard edition) and March 24th (Deluxe Edition) for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The Deluxe Edition includes three days early access, a Story Expansion Pack (coming later), and two supply bundles. All pre-orders receive a free Basic Supply Bundle. It's also available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
Is Atomfall Worth Playing?
Early reviews are mixed, with Metacritic showing a score hovering around 76. While some praise its unique British setting, compelling narrative, and strong world design, others point out flaws in combat and stealth. However, the overall consensus suggests it's a worthwhile experience, especially for fans of survival games with a twist. The game offers a fresh take on a familiar genre.
