News: New content is on the way for Atomfall building on the story and adding a new location to the game, along with other gameplay items.

Rebellion has announced that Wicked Isle, a story expansion for its hit survival action title, Atomfall will launch on June 3. The expansion adds a whole new location to the game, with its own set of characters and enemies as well as additional leads, weapons, skills, items and multiple new endings for the main game.

Drawing on the folk horror elements of the game for inspiration, the story expansion is set on Midsummer Island. To cross to the island players must talk to the boat-keeper who can be found on the jetty in Wyndham Village. He will give you information about the island as well as your first Lead.

“Midsummer is located close to the Windscale Atom Plant and as a result the levels of infection in both the people and environment are higher than on the mainland,” explained Ben Fisher, Head of Design at Rebellion. “You are going to meet new enemy factions including pirate bandits and infected druids. To help you survive there are new weapons to be found on the island including a devastating Blunderbuss shotgun, a new bow, cutlass, daggers and the Beekeeper’s Staff. You will also be able to acquire new skills which will aid you on your quest as well as an upgraded metal detector which will enable you to find even more loot caches.”

The Leads you uncover in Wicked Isle will open a variety of story threads, some of which create new potential endings for the main Atomfall game.

Included in the Deluxe Edition and in the Deluxe Upgrade Pack and available to purchase separately when released ($19.99), Wicked Isle will be available June 3 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Game Pass subscribers will benefit from a 10% discount.

A UK-based post-apocalyptic survival-action game, Atomfall, is inspired by the real life Windscale nuclear incident in the 1950s. Players will embark on a fictionalized adventure meeting a cast of weird and wonderful characters as they try to uncover the mystery and escape the quarantine zone. So far over 2.5 million players have jumped into the world of Atomfall.

Atomfall is available now on Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Atomfall is certified on Steam Deck.
