Rebellion’s upcomingAtomfallis so much more than ‘British Fallout’.
That being said, it would be remiss not to consider the fact thatAtomfallcertainly takes inspiration from the acclaimedBethesdafranchise.
There’s a dashing of Metro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R in there too though.

What perhaps most excites me aboutAtomfallis that if wearecomparing it to Fallout, the game feels like a successor toFallout: New Vegasin the way that it builds bustling, interconnected communities.
Speaking withGamesRadar at Gamescom,Atomfall’s creative director Ben Fisher admitted as much.
Fisher went on to add thatAtomfallis unique, however, as “the survival always feels kind of tense and combat always feels like a high-stakes risk”.

Atomfallis set in an alternative take on 1950s Yorkshire, England, where the picturesque English countryside is the backdrop to a nuclear disaster.
The playable character awakens confused as you try to piece together the state of your surroundings.
In myhands-on preview, I said, “Atomfallis incredibly well designed, using stereotypes to create an amusing sense of absurdity that just works so very well. With an intriguing world, easy-to-learn controls and a sterling premise, I feel quite confident that Rebellion has cooked up something very special.Atomfallis one to keep an eye on.”
