Atomfall Surpasses 1.5 Million Players In Its Opening Weekend

Rebellion's single-player survival action game Atomfall has surpassed 1.5 million players in its first five days since launch.

In a press release, chief executive officer and co-founder of Rebellion, Jason Kingsley expressed his joy about how the game has been received so far, saying "We are delighted that so many players are enjoying Atomfall."

"To have surpassed the one million players in such a short space of time speaks volumes for the creativity and dedication of the entire team here at Rebellion. Our size and stability mean that we can take risks to create something as different as Atomfall. Happily, that risk is paying off."

"We are a British company, and the game is a true reflection of that. Not only is it set in the lush, beautiful countryside, but Atomfall also draws inspiration from so many classic British books, films and TV series," Kingsley continued. "We hope that players continue to enjoy exploring the world of Atomfall and are looking forward to future content for the game."

That seems good? Indiana Jones had 4 mil in 3 months and probably 4 times the budget of Atomfall

18 million people visit the Lake District each year so that's a good return on people wanting to play a game set there.

Kingsley is a legend. Hopefully this does well enough for him so he can make an epic medieval adventure at some point.

I am still not sure if I want to play this game. Some people say its good, others that its awful. I have watched some gameplay and it looks a bit boring and janky

But I am happy for Rebellion because this means they can probably make more Sniper Elite games

With 6k peak CCU on Steam?!?

GAF CCU Team in shambles!

Indy had weak numbers in general, hard to say exactly why, maybe people didn't like the first person view or slower gameplay (instead of another Uncharted blockbuster). I bet the execs are really hoping for good sales numbers from the PS5 release.

Gotta put this on download now that I am done with Avowed.

Looks like a diamond in rough. My type of game.

Well deserved.

They have probably started working on a dlc or Atomfall 2 instead of a Sniper Elite sequel. They have a gold mine in their hands that can compete with Fallout, Stalker and Bioshock.

Does this have a third person mode or first person only?

I’d try if third person is available like Skyrim and fall out.

Now maybe they can think about making a game based on a 2000AD property, the thing they actually already own.
