Fallout fans seriously excited by new trailer for spiritual successor

There’s nothing quite like a new trailer to get the Fallout community fired up and ready for some more post-apocalyptic mayhem.

As much as we adore the Fallout franchise, there’s just too long a wait between now and when Fallout 5 launches.

Yes, we’ll get the second season of Amazon’s Fallout before then, but we want a wasteland we can immerse ourselves in and control.

If that’s what you’re looking for too then you need to watch the latest trailer for Atomfall.

When we saw a preview of Atomfall last year, we were deeply impressed, describing it as “powerhouse packed with potential”.

Here’s a little taster of what to expect:

“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.”

Come 27 March, we’ll know for certain whether that potential has been properly harnessed when the game officially launches.

“Looks fantastic,” commented X user @XECO_Bailey. “I'm so happy to see it set in the lake district, the most beautiful part of England.”

Yes, if you’ve ever wanted to see what Fallout in the UK would look like beyond the city limits of Fallout: London, Atomfall will give you that opportunity.

On Rebellion’s YouTube channel, the hype just keeps on building.

“As a local from northern England (Leeds) the northern accents are spot on. Can’t wait to play this,” said @jamesthomasparker.

User @AlfredFJones1776 posted, “A game with elements of both Stalker and Fallout but also doing its own thing. I’ve been interested in this for a while.”

Not only is this game offering a new location compared with typical post-apocalyptic adventures, but it’s also going to be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on launch day.

Undoubtedly for many of you, that’s the more interesting bit of information here.

“Yes!!! Every new look at this game hypes the heck outta me!!” shared @VexElectronica.

We know the feeling; we’re now just counting down the days until 27 March.
