Today we released the latest trailer for our forthcoming mystery adventure, Atomfall – which also revealed that the game will be coming out on March 27, 2025. Our friends at Xbox have invited me to share some extra details about the trailer, so let’s get started!

Featuring an original folk song, Atomfall’s new trailer showcases the game’s folk horror influences. Britain has a rich history of folk stories – with roots in ancient pagan myths. Players will find that these fantastical and haunting elements inform the atmosphere of Atomfall, alongside classic sci-fi influences like ‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Quatermass Experiment’ and ‘The Day of the Triffids’. This gives the game a unique feeling that blends a sense of awe one moment with a haunting chill the next.

The setting of this new trailer is the game’s Casterfell Woods location. It’s a far cry from the eccentric picture postcard village of Wyndham that players will have seen in our previous trailer. Instead, it is a wild and inhospitable place, underpinned by an immediately eerie vibe.

Deep within these woods, we see the player encounter a burning pyre, an unsettling wicker man, numerous fallen bodies, and a ringing telephone box that begs to be answered. The voice at the end of the phone line is one of Atomfall’s many mysteries that players will have to tackle if they are to get to the bottom of what happened at the Windscale nuclear plant all those years ago.

Finally, and very briefly, we reveal one of Casterfell Woods’ many sinister and dangerous residents. You never know who you might bump into during a walk in the woods…

Eagle-eyed viewers may notice a few other ‘Easter eggs’ scattered throughout the trailer too… let us know what you spot on our social channels @AtomfallGame.

Confirmed Release Date and Editions

Today we have announced that Atomfall will launch on March 27, 2025. The game is coming day one to Game Pass and will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PC.

Atomfall’s Standard Edition will be available both digitally and in a boxed physical edition. Gamers who pre-order this edition will receive the Basic Supply Bundle.

What Is Atomfall?

Set in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster, Atomfall tasks players with solving the mystery of what happened at the Windscale nuclear power station. To solve this, you will need to navigate military encampments, delve through abandoned bunkers below ground, and risk your life in Pagan ruins.

Central to the dark mystery are the host of eccentric characters and cryptic organisations that inhabit the quarantine zone of Atomfall. These individuals have been cut off from the outside world for years and left to their own devices, so are anything but normal. But be careful, they aren’t all friendly and you will need to get to grips with an array of ranged and melee weapons if you are to survive!

We cannot wait for you to uncover the mysteries of Atomfall!
