Atomfall release date window and latest news
Fallout competition?
It looks like the Fallout franchise will no longer have the monopoly of '50s aesthetic atompunk survival games. There's a new contender in town with Atomfall, a new IP from Sniper Elite studio Rebellion.
What's interesting about Atomfall, however, is its setting.
Instead of an entirely alternate reality, it takes place in the north of England after the 1957 Windscale fire. Using a real-life nuclear disaster is a brave move, and, we think, all the more interesting.
It's not entirely factual, though, and there's a fair bit of artistic license.
Curious? Let's take a look at the Atomfall release date window and latest news.

Atomfall gameplay and story details
As we've said, Atomfall is set in the aftermath of the 1957 Windscale fire. This was a huge nuclear disaster in a nuclear plant located in Cumbria. The game has imagined a far worse outcome than what actually happened, and takes place five years after the event.
The UK is in a nuclear fallout, and the player must survive the (very British) wasteland full of cults, rogue agencies, and (as per atompunk tradition) robots.
The official Steam page says the following:
"Unravel a tapestry of interwoven narratives through exploration, conversation, investigation, and combat, where every choice you make has consequences."
We like the sound of this.

There is indeed a trailer! Check out the one that dropped at Gamescom last week below:
