Rebellion, an independent video game developer and publisher based in the United Kingdom, has today confirmed that more than 1.5 million players have engaged with its latest release Atomfall since its launch last week. This milestone marks the most successful launch in the company’s 32-year history.
Set in post-apocalyptic northern England, Atomfall is a survival-action title inspired by the 1950s Windscale nuclear incident. The game introduces players to a fictional narrative featuring a range of eccentric characters as they navigate a quarantine zone in search of answers.
Coinciding with this announcement, Jason Kingsley CBE, CEO and co-founder of Rebellion, commented on the reception to the game:
We are delighted that so many players are enjoying Atomfall. To have surpassed the one million players in such a short space of time speaks volumes for the creativity and dedication of the entire team here at Rebellion. Our size and stability mean that we can take risks to create something as different as Atomfall. Happily, that risk is paying off.
We are a British company, and the game is a true reflection of that. Not only is it set in the lush, beautiful countryside but Atomfall also draws inspiration from so many classic British books, films and TV series. We hope that players continue to enjoy exploring the world of Atomfall and are looking forward to future content for the game.
Gameplay data shared by Rebellion shares more in-game statistics, including over 3.7 million kills using a cricket bat and more than 4 million pasties consumed. Additionally, over 316,000 players chose to eliminate a scientist character early in the game.
Atomfall is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
