Atomfall is a survival-action game set in the rolling British countryside. Atomfall is inspired by the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster in the North of England, picking up the story five years after the fire in a fictionalized quarantine zone.
Opening in the style of a classic 1950s news reel, this latest trailer offers a closer look at Atomfall’s setting in the North of England. Atomfall is inspired by the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster and the story picks up five years later in a fictionalized quarantine zone that encompasses a rolling countryside, valleys, caves and even a picturesque English village.
But this picture-perfect postcard setting is a hostile landscape that hides a dark mystery. To get to the bottom of what happened at Windscale, you will need to navigate military encampments, delve through abandoned bunkers below ground and risk your life in Pagan ruins. Your trusty metal detector will also help you uncover a few secrets buried beneath the surface.
Central to the dark mystery is the host of eccentric characters and cryptic organizations that inhabit the quarantine zone. These individuals have been cut off from the outside world for years and left to their own devices, and are anything but normal. Your interactions with them are important and will shape your journey. But be careful, not all survivors are friendly, and you will need to master an array of ranged and melee weapons if you are to survive.
Set to an original folk song composed specially for this trailer, which creates an eerie vibe, Atomfall’s new trailer showcases the game’s folk horror influences. The trailer also offers an intriguing glimpse of the game’s Casterfell Woods location and sees the player encounter a burning pyre, an unsettling wicker man, numerous fallen bodies and a ringing telephone box that needs to be answered…

Gamers who pre-order this edition will receive the Basic Supply Bundle DLC which offers additional items and supplies to uncover as you explore, including an exclusive melee weapon variant, additional loot caches and an item recipe.
