Delve deeper into the foreboding world of Atomfall and the mystery of Windscale with a look at its new trailer, hot off the heels of Gamescom.

Opening in the style of a classic 1950s news reel, this latest trailer offers a closer look at Atomfall's setting in the North of England. Atomfall is inspired by the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster and the story picks up five years later in a fictionalised quarantine zone that encompasses rolling countryside, valleys, caves and even a picturesque English village.

But this picture-perfect postcard setting is a hostile landscape that hides a dark mystery. To get to the bottom of what happened at Windscale, you will need to navigate military encampments, delve through abandoned bunkers below ground, and risk your life in Pagan ruins. Your trusty metal detector will also help you uncover a few secrets buried beneath the surface!

Central to the dark mystery are the host of eccentric characters and cryptic organisations that inhabit the quarantine zone. These individuals have been cut off from the outside world for years and left to their own devices, so are anything but normal. Your interactions with them are important and will shape your journey. But be careful, they aren't all friendly and you will need to get to grips with an array of ranged and melee weapons if you are to survive!

The fate of "-----Fall" as a name is riding on your shoulders Atomfall. No pressure. You can do this.

 

[The_hunter]

This looks really good.

 

[Rentahamster]

Stop this Madlibs ___fall naming scheme. Why the hell is it so prevalent?

 

[Robot Carnival]

isn't there already a Fallout London game or mod? I coulda swear I remember hearing about it. or is this more like Atomic Heart?

 

[CherryFalls]

Fallout England, look really cool.

'Fall' and 'born/borne' are my pet peeves.

Just don't make a video game named Fallborn.

 

[Rentahamster]

Dustfall

 

[R6Rider]

Looking good!

I forgot Rebellion is developing this.

 

[Markio128]

I like the look of this one, and I noticed the nod to the original Wicker Man film. Pretty decent timing too, with all of the recent interest in Fallout.

 

[Magic Carpet]

'Fall' and 'born/borne' are my pet peeves.

Just don't make a video game named Fallborn.

Fatal, Final, Forever, Infinite, Horizon are mine.

 

[Rat Rage]

"....fall"

As a video game naming expert, I can tell you, they fucked up!

If they really wanted to be "cool" and "hip", they should have named their game either:

Bornfall

or

Fallborn

Screw these amateurs!

 

[Roberts]

I still have memories of how dull Godfall was.

Anyway, this looks kind of cool and I usually like stuff made bu Rebellion.

 

[SNPlayen]

Another game in the fall genre. Looks pretty good

 

[Sokka]

'Fall' and 'born/borne' are my pet peeves.

Just don't make a video game named Fallborn.

I should make a game called Fallborn, I guarantee you'll love it.

 

[King Dazzar]

This looks great.

 

[clarky]

Rebellion are decent AA devs, will be checking this one out. Rogue trooper and the sniper elite games were solid.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Looks brilliant!
Genuinely excited for this,

 

[Rockondevil]

Definitely has my download. Hope it's good.

 

[Senua]

Yup looks awesome, and set in good ol blighty!

 

[Irobot82]

I don't hate it. I like the themes. I'll add it to my steam wishlist and keep and eye on it.

 

[Closer]

'Fall' and 'born/borne' are my pet peeves.

Just don't make a video game named Fallborn.

Fallborn Souls

 

[Unknown Soldier]

STALKER: Heart of England?

“I love Fall”?

 

[The_hunter]

Gamescom gameplay, it's looking real rough. This game is shipping in half a year.

I think it has potential. I like this style of game a lot.

 

[archangelmorph]

Fallborn Souls

Bornfall Infinite: Horizons

 

[Diddy X]

That's like naming your kid 'Dick' you're dooming it to fail.

 

[Redneckerz]

Judging the gameplay, i dig this. It definitely isn't going to have world-class visuals, but it looks good enough.

And, along with Dying Light: The Beast, it is telling that these relatively high budget games are still coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Imagine buying one of those at launch, in November 2013... and you are still getting to buy a new game for in March 2025. Some insane mileage this hardware has, even more than the PS360 generation.

Seeing as i have a PS4 Pro (I bought one for 100 bucks 1 year ago, i figured that was a killer deal), i am more than fine with these new games coming.

Damn, this completely sunk my hype. The animations and AI look extremely dated, and nothing feels like it has much impact behind it, just a kind of flat feeling.

At 13:15 the npc gets stabbed in the side, then turns around and says ''is somebody there?'' AFTER they've been stabbed lol.

 

[Xtib81]

The trailer looks great, the gameplay demo not so much.

 

[Duchess]

I'm sure they'll iron out the problems after the game has launched

 

[SportsFan581]

Good setup premise. Nice to see it on GP.
