Atomfall - Xbox Series X

Atomfall for Xbox Series X is a survival-action game set in a fictional quarantine zone in Northern England, five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster. Inspired by real-life events, it challenges you to explore a devastated corner of Britain, find supplies and uncover the truth behind a dark mystery. Scavenge, craft, barter, fight and talk your way through a countryside where picturesque surroundings conceal serious dangers.

A British countryside with a dark secret

Explore rolling green hills, lush valleys and rural villages in a setting shaped by nuclear disaster. The beautifully recreated scenery provides the backdrop to an unsettling investigation, with bizarre characters, mysticism, cults and rogue government agencies all forming part of the world you encounter.

The quarantine zone is fictional, but its premise draws on the real Windscale disaster. Your task is to search for answers about what really happened, looking beyond the landscape’s rural charm to understand the threats and mysteries within it.

A player-driven mystery

Atomfall’s story unfolds through interwoven narratives that you unravel through exploration, conversation, investigation and combat. Every choice has consequences, making your decisions part of how you work through the mystery.

Talking to the people you meet is part of the experience alongside searching the environment and fighting. As you investigate, these different approaches contribute to your search for the truth.

Scavenge, craft and survive

Survival requires more than following the story. You will need to search for supplies, craft weapons and items, barter and fight to stay alive in the quarantine zone. Exploration brings opportunities to gather what you need, but the countryside’s peaceful appearance should not be mistaken for safety.
