Atomfall release date window and latest news

As a seasoned survivor of countless post-apocalyptic wastelands and an ardent admirer of the golden age of nuclear paranoia, I find myself intrigued by the upcoming title, Atomfall. The choice to set the game in a real-life disaster like the Windscale fire is a bold move, adding a layer of historical gravity that’s both chilling and captivating.


It appears that the Fallout series’ dominance over 1950s-themed atomic punk survival games might be challenged, as a fresh competitor has emerged: Atomfall, an original game from the creators of Sniper Elite, Rebellion.

What’s interesting about Atomfall, however, is its setting.

Rather than a completely different universe, the story unfolds in northern England following the Windscale fire of 1957. Embracing a real-world nuclear incident adds a layer of intrigue that we believe will captivate readers.

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.

When is the Atomfall release date? Release date window

During last week’s Gamescom, we learned a lot more about Atomfall.

Atomfall gameplay and story details

In our previous mention, the game “Atomfall” is situated following the catastrophe of the 1957 Windscale fire, a significant nuclear accident that occurred at a power station in Cumbria. The creators have envisioned a more devastating scenario than what transpired in reality, and the story unfolds five years after this incident.

In a post-nuclear Britain, the character finds themselves navigating a desolate landscape filled with cults, renegade organizations, and robots as customary in the atomic punk genre, while striving to endure and survive.

The official Steam page says the following:

“Explore a complex web of stories that are intricately connected, engage in conversations, conduct investigations, and prepare for battles. Each decision you make will shape the outcome.”

We like the sound of this.

Is there an Atomfall trailer?

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