Retrieve your best cricket bat from the attic – Developers Atomfall by Rebellion have announced that their second story expansion will be released in September, titled The Red Strain. This character seems to be unrelated to Robobrain and is connected to a vast expanse of crimson vegetation occupying the Cumberland quarantine zone.
In simpler terms, the second DLC is a continuation of the first expansion pack called Atomfall, which comes as a bonus if you purchased the deluxe edition of the radioactive survival game Wicked Isle. I haven’t had a chance to play this expansion yet, but this new add-on seems like a great reason to revisit and explore it further.
According to a short blog post and trailer from Rebellion, The Red Strain is set to launch on September 16th. At this time, details about it are scarce, but developers hinted at a secret new location and more mysteries to solve.
The trailer displayed here offers a glimpse into what appears to be a swarm of red plants connected to a humanoid robot belonging to CORE, an organization. It seems likely that they might be distinct from, or perhaps a branch of, the game’s British Atomic Research Division (BARD). You can anticipate exploring dilapidated facilities filled with faulty machinery and unknown hazards. Further details will be released as we get closer to the red project, as promised by Rebellion.

Our James liked Atomfall, writing in his review:
It’s a shame that next to the investigating, Atomfall’s shooting, sneaking, and cricket batting don’t deliver the same joys. Still, they’re competent enough not to get in the way, and with a little finesse it’s possible to enjoy extended bouts of that rich, intricate sleuthing without doing a single violence at all. Don’t let those village pub bores get you down: there are far worse places for a forgetful soldier-detective to be.
In simpler terms, I generally share your positive views about the game, despite expressing some reservations in my previous review due to what I considered understated endings. I believe these endings fell short of delivering a fully satisfying conclusion to the suspenseful journey through the dangerous zones. However, I acknowledge that this perspective might differ among players who appreciate Atomfall’s British sci-fi influences more than they anticipate the over-the-top radioactive chaos typical of Fallout.
Without a doubt, I intend to play Wicked Isle soon, so I’m intentionally moving the game higher on my extensive playlist. I’ve etched this list on the inside of my thigh, ensuring that whenever I entertain inappropriate thoughts, I’m reminded that I purchased The Saboteur during a Steam sale long ago and have yet to invest any time into it.
