Earlier today, Rebellion Studios released a brand new trailer for Atomfall, which introduces us to a world of both danger and mystery. That is, the Windfall quarantine zone, which exists in a strange, fictional, corner of England.
Read on for more, which we have borrowed from the game’s latest release:
Opening in an abandoned bunker five years after a nuclear disaster in Northern England, the trailer shows how players enter the world of Atomfall. In this scene an unnamed worker in a hazmat suit stumbles into your room and asks, “who are you?” This question is just one of the mysteries that players will need to solve if they are to find out what happened at the Windscale atom plant.
From here the trailer teases more of the settings and landscapes that players will need to explore as they get to grips with life inside the quarantine zone. This slice of Northern England includes everything from open moors, rugged hills, dense woodlands and the picture-perfect English village Wyndham. But beware, this is a dangerous and hostile landscape filled with gangs of outlaws, crazed cultists and unexplained horrors. Even the local wildlife poses an immense threat to your life. If you are to navigate this land and survive, you will need to fight for your life and scavenge resources.
Atomfall is packed with a cast of quirky and eccentric characters that you will meet on your journey. These people have been isolated from the world for some time and while many have adopted a “keep calm and carry on” mentality, some have sought to seize power and twisted events for their own gain. Others have even slipped into more nefarious ways… Your interactions with these characters will uncover various leads, secrets and story threads that will help you discover the truth of what happened during the Windscale disaster. But, needless to say, not everyone you meet means you well and deciding who to trust in the quarantine zone is a matter of life or death.
Atomfall will launch on March 27th, and will be a day one GamePass title. It’s also releasing for PlayStation and PC via Steam and Epic.
