Fancy journeying into a new open world RPG that feels similar to Fallout but isn’t a carbon copy?
If you just answered yes, then this Xbox game might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Seeing as a Fallout game has been cancelled “effective immediately”, the Fallout community could do with a small glimmer of hope.

Atomfall is that glimmer.
Rebellion, known for the Sniper Elite series, is behind this upcoming title.
What makes this post-apocalyptic world different from others is the fact that it’s based on a real-life event.
“A survival-action game inspired by real-life events, Atomfall is set five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England.

“Explore the fictional quarantine zone, scavenge, craft, barter, fight and talk your way through a British countryside setting filled with bizarre characters, mysticism, cults, and rogue government agencies,” its description reads.
It isn’t just its synopsis that has gamers intrigued, it’s its gameplay trailer too.
Redditor No-Plankton4841 posted, “Looks pretty cool, I love the Sniper Elite games and most of what Rebellion puts out [...] definitely giving Fallout vibes (maybe like KMart brand Fallout tbh) but the English countryside setting is pretty cool. Intrigued.”
They’re not alone in wanting to find out more about this new survival experience.

“This looks sick. The entire gameplay loop seems really fun and the plot sounds really interesting. If the story lives up to the premise, and the gameplay is as fun as it appears, I am going to be very excited to play this game,” said @TheHamAndEggsGreen.
User @rook37 remarked, “Man, I'm so hype for this. The setting seems super cool [...] Genuinely excited to go explore this world and for more people to discover what they've been missing.”
We could go on listing excited comments, such is the hype for Atomfall.
Unfortunately, this Rebellion game isn’t due to be released until March 2025.

Frustrating though that is, at least there’s plenty of information available about this Fallout-inspired experience to keep us hyped until its launch date.
