We've been keeping a very close eye on Atomfall ever since it was revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase earlier this year, and that's not just because it looks really cool, but it's also being made by the Sniper Elite studio Rebellion!
Up above, you can check out a brand-new deep dive into Atomfall's world, story and gameplay ahead of its day one Xbox Game Pass release, and everything we're seeing here suggests we're in for a great start to 2025 when it arrives.
Speaking of a date, it was quietly mentioned recently that Atomfall is targeting a March 2025 release across all platforms, so we could technically be playing it in just over four months' time! Obviously there's always the possibility of a delay, and it's just a window rather than a specific date right now, but fingers crossed it'll be with us soon.
There's every chance you may have glossed over this one earlier in the year, so we'll throw some more details and screenshots below. As mentioned, Atomfall will be available at launch on Xbox Game Pass, with presumably the only tiers set to miss out being 'Core' and 'Standard'. It'll definitely be on Game Pass Ultimate at the very least!
"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!"
