Rebellion, the renowned independent video game studio behind popular franchises like Sniper Elite and Zombie Army, announced the release of Atomfall, set for March 2025. Revealed during the Xbox @ gamescom Livestream on gamescoms' first day, Atomfall brings a fresh survival-action experience to players.

Atomfall is a single-player survival-action game that takes players to a fictionalized quarantine zone in the North of England, inspired by real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster. Set five years after the catastrophe, players will explore a sprawling landscape of countryside, valleys, caves, and a seemingly quaint English village, all hiding a dark mystery.

Players will navigate through military encampments, explore abandoned bunkers, and face perilous Pagan ruins as they uncover secrets with the help of a trusty metal detector. The game features a cast of eccentric characters and cryptic organizations, each shaping the player's journey. With both ranged and melee weapons at their disposal, players must be wary, as not all survivors are friendly.

Targeted at fans of immersive survival-action games, Atomfall promises a gripping narrative coupled with thrilling gameplay mechanics. The game invites players to unravel the mysteries of the quarantine zone while engaging in strategic combat and exploration.

Atomfall is set to launch in March 2025 and will be available on day one with Game Pass. It will be released on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC, including Steam and the Epic Games Store. Additionally, it will be available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Founded in 1992, Rebellion is one of the world’s most successful independent studios. Its flagship Sniper Elite series is renowned for its authentic stealth and sniping gameplay with more than 20 million players worldwide. The latest game in the franchise, Sniper Elite 5, was released in May 2022 to critical acclaim. 2000 AD is synonymous with the absolute finest in British comic book art. With the acquisition of a $100m film studio and the world’s largest archive of English language comics, Rebellion continues to grow from strength to strength.

Rebellion now operates across books, comics, TV, and film, but at its core, it’s still a leading developer and publisher of games. Whether it’s the breath-taking intensity of the Sniper Elite, the face-hugging terror of Aliens vs. Predator, or the grindhouse frenzy of the Zombie Army series, the Oxford-based studio is revered for creating stand-out games designed to thrill.
