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.
The Red Strain is coming...
A new Story Expansion is coming to Atomfall. More details about exactly what you will find in the Red Strain will be revealed in the lead up to the release, but for now expect a highly confidential new location and plenty more mysteries to uncover.
The Red Strain Story Expansion Pack will introduce a new location, enemies, quests, characters, items, weapons, and more.
Nestled in the hills, away from the prying eyes of the locals, lies Test Site Moriah. A secret research station built on the site of an old missile testing facility, it has been shrouded in mystery ever since it opened. But something changed when the quarantine came into effect and the facility has fallen into more nefarious hands who are keen to keep its secrets for themselves. Now a route back into the facility has been located, and with it the opportunity to finally get some answers.
The Red Strain Story Expansion Pack is coming on September 16th
