Atomfall

Atomfall is a single-player adventure set in a sealed-off region in northern England, five years after the Windscale disaster. In an alternate history, the landscape between villages, forests and decommissioned facilities becomes a quarantine zone. You search for clues, talk to survivors and decide for yourself which leads to follow.

The game combines first-person combat with exploration, crafting equipment and a story that responds to choices. Rebellion developed and published Atomfall.

Atomfall was released on March 27, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. On consoles, there are standalone versions for both the PlayStation and Xbox generations. Rebellion also released a Deluxe Edition with additional items and expansion content.

Atomfall is available natively for Windows PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version is sold through Steam, among others. On PlayStation, the PS4 and PS5 editions are separate console versions, while Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S are also supported.

Atomfall is a single-player title. A co-op mode or competitive online multiplayer is not part of the game.

Atomfall combines exploration and open-ended investigation with survival mechanics. You talk to residents, search remote locations, gather materials and craft useful items. Combat takes place from a first-person perspective. Ammunition is scarce, so stealth and melee combat become important.

Wicked Isle has expanded Atomfall with the island of Midsummer since Jun 3, 2025. New characters, enemies, weapons and further story paths await there. The Red Strain followed on Sep 16, 2025, with the isolated research site Test Site Moriah.

Both expansions require the base game.

Atomfall requires at least Windows 10, 16 GB RAM, a GeForce RTX 2060 with 6 GB graphics memory and 60 GB free storage on PC. Rebellion also lists an Intel Core i5-9400F or equivalent processor and DirectX 12.

In Atomfall, you decide which leads to follow and which residents to trust. Conversations and documents you find open up different paths through the story. The order of clues is not fixed, and your choices affect how conflicts end.

The story expansions also add characters and alternative paths to the plot.
