History meets fiction
Atomfall is an action-survival game set in Great Britain five years after the disastrous Windscale fire. In this reimagining of 1957, the nuclear disaster has unleashed far graver consequences, transforming Northern England into a quarantine zone. This forbidden land has become a refuge for cults, rogue agencies, and enigmatic individuals, each with their own secrets. As a player, you'll venture into this eerie and unpredictable terrain, uncovering its mysteries while fighting to survive in one of the most haunting corners of the United Kingdom.
Into the zone
Delving into the quarantine zone is essential to uncovering the true story behind the Windscale accident. This journey will take you through stunning valleys, mysterious caves, abandoned bunkers, and crumbling ruins. Atomfall features a one-of-a-kind adventure where Cold War history, British folklore, and sci-fi intrigue collide. However, survival in this strange and treacherous place is no small feat. Ruthless cults and bandits roam the area, believing that steel and violence are the ultimate authority. As a result, confrontation is often unavoidable, making combat one of the game's essential mechanics.
It's your story
Thanks to the crafting system, you can create something out of nothing. Transform scraps and junk into useful tools or powerful weapons. Scavenging through ruins and trading with others are also efficient ways to acquire valuable resources. Alternatively, you could decide to see everyone as a potential victim of your malicious intentions. But be warned — every choice you make in Atomfall comes with its own set of consequences.

Atomfall was released on March 27, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. The game was created and published by Rebellion.
