Atomfall, the next game aiming to satisfy our thirst for UK Fallout games, has just released a trailer for one of the saddest island release dates ever

Atomfall is the upcoming game from Sniper Elite developer Rebellion, and while many are looking for another British post-apocalyptic game with a radioactive twist, this isn’t an official Fallout on our sad little island. , now it has a proper release date. It will arrive on March 25, 2025, and the fresh trailer conveys a very British countryside vibe.

While we technically got British Fallout earlier this year thanks to the massive mod Fallout: London, and we really liked it when it didn’t suffer from too many bugs, ever since Atomfall was announced, It just keeps making these comparisons. It’s up to you to decide if they’re worth it, and you now have more material to work with.

As of the aforementioned release date of March 25 next year, the latest trailer for Atomfall is set in an iconic British location – the woods. In fact, Rebellion deputy head of design Ben Fisher clarified Casterfell Woods in an Xbox Wire post accompanying the trailer. Apparently, it was “a wild and desolate place filled with an immediately eerie atmosphere.”

Yes, plus the abundance of discarded condoms and beer cans scattered next to the Wicker Man in Castlefield, it’s a pretty accurate description of a lot of the wooded areas around where I live. The trailer basically shows some poor guy listening to a ballad and then being attacked by a stranger whistling away next to a dilapidated phone box, which also seems very realistic in England.

Regardless, the phone booth rang, and Fisher said it was important, writing: “The voice at the end of the phone line is one of Atomfall’s many mysteries that players will have to solve if they want to figure out what’s going on. The Mysteries.” Windscale Nuclear Power Plant All Those Years Ago. “

In terms of influences, the developer adds that Atomfall draws on classic science fiction novels like Doctor Who, The Quatermass Experiment and Day of the Three Wings for its survival action, er, creepy woodland action part.

You’ll be able to try it out on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4 when it launches, and on Xbox Game Pass on day one. Please tell us how dirty your local woods are and if you plan to play Atomfall.
