New gameplay details for the first-person survival game Atomfall from Rebellion Developments have been unveiled through a compelling new trailer. Rebellion, best known for the acclaimed Sniper Elite series, which gained significant popularity with 2012's Sniper Elite V2, is branching into new territory with this full-on survival game, diverging from their typical third-person action and real-time strategy titles.
Atomfall was first showcased in June during Xbox's Summer Game Fest, where it garnered attention despite being somewhat overshadowed by major announcements such as Gears of War: E-Day, Doom: The Dark Ages, and the gameplay reveal of Perfect Dark. The promise of a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass piqued the interest of many Xbox enthusiasts, and since its reveal, fans have eagerly awaited more information.
As the game's release date of March 27 approaches, Rebellion Developments has released a detailed seven-minute narrated gameplay trailer. This trailer sets the scene in an alternate 1960s England, devastated by a nuclear disaster, creating an environment that will resonate with fans of games like Fallout and STALKER. Players will navigate quarantine zones, small villages, and research bunkers, scavenging resources to survive encounters with robots, cultists, and the game's hazardous environments.

The trailer showcases the weapons players can use in Atomfall, starting with basic options such as a cricket bat for melee combat, a revolver, a shotgun, and a bolt-action rifle. These weapons are upgradable, hinting at more advanced armaments that players might discover in the game's open world. Resource management is key, as players can craft essential items like healing potions and combat tools, including Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs. Additionally, a metal detector is available to locate caches of supplies and crafting materials within the quarantine zones. The trailer also introduces the concept of training manuals and unlockable skills, which are categorized into melee, ranged combat, survival, and conditioning, allowing players to tailor their gameplay experience.
Atomfall is set to launch on March 27 across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC platforms, with immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass. Rebellion has teased another deep dive video to be released soon, so fans should stay tuned to Atomfall's and Rebellion's social media channels for more updates.
