You’ll be able to explore the Britain the Tories want from March 2025, when Oxford-based dev Rebellion releases Atomfall on PS5 and PS4. You may remember this one being quietly announced earlier in the year; it’s the same developer from the Sniper Elite series, although it depicts a dystopian northern England, ruled by robots in the aftermath of the real-life Windscale nuclear disaster. Think Fallout with funny accents.
“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,” the press release reads. Sounds just like modern-day UK!
There’s a new trailer embedded above which showcases both the gunplay and scenery. We don’t often get games with this type of setting – Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture immediately springs to mind – so it’s quite interesting to see a major release with this kind of backdrop. Are you interested in exploring a post-apocalyptic England – or will a day-trip to Barnsley suffice? Sit outside Greggs in the comments section below.

So this is how Britain looks after brexit

'You’ll be able to explore the Britain the Tories want from March 2025..'
Tories, Labour, they're both the same since Blair. And Kier could be the worst yet.
Reminds me of the Day of the Triffids or No Blade of Grass. Hopefully it's good!
I really love the look of this. The North might be my South but there’s definitely some shared history there!
@riceNpea
Very true and neither keep to their campaign promises. That being said the Tories had to go. So far the only thing about Kier I've seen that interested me is he was born in the same borough as I was, Southwark. 😂.
The game looks interesting though I'll keep my eye on this one.
As someone from Southern England, I have of course come here to comment on the fact that the North is already dystopian.
But looks good! I am always up for more games voiced by characters that share my ‘funny’ accent 😂
Everybody's gone to the rapture forever engraved in my head as one of the most boring games I have ever played.
Well, it'll be good training for the for the very real dystopia we'll be living through, I suppose. I'd type more but I don't want to literally go to prison.
The hills have ‘why ayes!’ Looks mint tbh.
@x3King84 Brilliant!
@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr More time in prison for Just Stop Oil having a Zoom call than racist rioters setting fire to migrant hotels does sound a bit dystopian.
I’d rather this than what labour are going to do to us 😂😂
I’ve got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the keys vibes! Love it day 1. I’m such a northerner
@Member_the_game try telling an indie dev to ignore 50 million active users still on PS4. Those sales could mean the difference in years of extra development time for their next game, let alone keeping a studio open. The AAA Sony funded Spider-man 2 is not on PS4. It still hasn't turned a profit.
@get2sammyb thank you! It’s yours for free!
Think Fallout with amazing accents.
"Apocalyptic Britain"
According to Elmo this is "Ripped from today's headlines". 😂
@FinneasGH when you say south do you mean London? Or the inbred counties?
Either way you're welcome from the north. My kids kids will die for nothing to keep you all content
@pushsquare "Think Fallout with funny accents." is this supposed to be a joke?

@Member_the_game them?
Welcome to Sir Kier Stallin's Britain.
Definitely will be trying this. As much of a fan of Sniper Elite as I am, it's nice to see Rebellion do something different.
Welcome to Britain if Nigel Farage ever came to power! Thank god that’ll never happen, right? 😅
All highly original Brexit/today's Britain jokes aside, I think this looks great as a fellow northerner!
They should've called it Fallowt

It does look good, especially the robots; but it does also remind me of 'We Happy Few' from a few years back which also had promise, but turned out to be a damp squib packed with cheesy English stereotypes. Here's hoping this game will be much better than that.

Looks pretty solid. Have to decide if I have the patience for these types of games anymore.
Rebellion games are just flat out fun, really burned out on the Sniper games but this looks so brilliant!
This is also why I visit Push and Pure, awesome community, even if they spelland pronounce certain words wrong
Giving fallout/bioshock vibes.
This looks like it has potential, definitely keeping my eye on this one.
With Bethesda floundering, this is offers a bit of hopium in the genre.
Count me very interested. This could fill my desire for a new Fallout game.
This is a gaming site. Why the need for a sly political dig. It really is lame.

@Black_Square Everything is political.
I have my reservations about how the story and narrative will work in this as it seems a lot more survival-based than I expected.
The Grendels Head like like the type of pub that would serve proper ale, and thats something I can fully get behind. Being from the UK games like this and Everyones gone to the Rapture that capture that Village in the lakes vibe always appeal for nostalgia reasons.
@FinneasGH at least we appreciate gravy up here in the north
@Czar_Khastik no, that's how it will look after labour duck it up.
Stop #remoanasgottaremoan
What the actual f have the Tories got to do with it ffs
Starmer is literally the worst prime minister we've ever had. And the country agree with his shockingly bad -7% approval rating lol. He's ensuring we won't have another Labour government for a long time. This game looks interesting though.
@Czar_Khastik think you mean since labour got in
Def gonna try this on gamepass
This looks really good, be interesting to see more gameplay.
