The Mystery of Windscale

Delve deeper into the foreboding world of Atomfall and the mystery of Windscale by watching the new trailer, hot off the heels of Gamescom:

Opening in the style of a classic 1950s news reel, this latest trailer offers a closer look at Atomfall’s setting in the North of England. Atomfall is inspired by the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster and the story picks up five years later in a fictionalised quarantine zone that encompasses rolling countryside, valleys, caves and even a picturesque English village.

To get to the bottom of what happened at Windscale, you will need to navigate military encampments, delve through abandoned bunkers below ground, and risk your life in Pagan ruins. Your trusty metal detector will also help you uncover a few secrets buried beneath the surface!

Central to the dark mystery are the host of eccentric characters and cryptic organisations that inhabit the quarantine zone. These individuals have been cut off from the outside world for years and left to their own devices, so are anything but normal. Your interactions with them are important and will shape your journey. 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!

Vive la France! | Take The Fight Behind Enemy Lines In Sniper Elite: Resistance

New operative. New threat. New campaign.

The acclaimed Sniper Elite franchise returns with a new operative in the field. Rebellion is excited to announce Sniper Elite: Resistance, a brand new story within the saga.

Coming 2025 to Game Pass Day One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC and PC via Steam, Epic and PlayStation 4 & 5

Sniper Elite: Resistance tells a gripping new standalone story that runs in parallel with Sniper Elite 5 and turns the attention towards the hidden war, far from the front lines, deep within the heart of occupied France. Players will take on the role of Harry Hawker, an agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE).

Intel has revealed powerful and deadly weapons known to the Axis as the Wunderwaffe. An arsenal of this magnitude could surely turn the tide of the war in their favour. You will be required to seek out key Axis targets and work together with the French Resistance to destroy the Wunderwaffe once and for all.

In a scene from Sniper Elite: Resistance, Harry Hawker wields a silenced pistol, whilst carrying another soldier over his shoulder on a rainy dockyard. He is walking over a chained bridge with gunfire zipping all around him.

Weapons of warfare

Players will get to to grips with an authentic arsenal of World War II weaponry, featuring fan favourites as well as new additions.

Once reunited with their ideal loadout, players can head to one of the work benches scattered around the campaign map in order to customise their rifles, secondaries and pistols to their specification.

The visceral X-ray kill cam and advanced gunplay physics return, demonstrating the unmatched destructive power of every one of your signature shots.

Harry Hawker from Sniper Elite: Resistance holds a rifle, standing on a rocky terrain with a full moon in the background and a tower displaying the Nazi flag nearby.

Become the Resistance

Propaganda Missions are a brand-new style of side mission to the series.

Throughout the campaign discover unique propaganda posters that will allow players to step into the shoes of a French Resistance fighter. With time sensitive objectives, players must sneak, snipe and shoot, taking down enemies under certain conditions to complete their mission.

Axis Invasion

Axis Invasion returns to Sniper Elite: Resistance with more campaign halting escapades. Watch as opponents scour the map in fear of attack. Strike when your enemies least expect, utilising weapons and equipment to full effect. Their campaign success is in your hands, so whether you go all guns blazing or adopt a more stealth approach, only one will be determined the victor.

Harry Hawker fires a weapon towards Axis enemies in a war-torn cityscape with damaged buildings and fires in the background.

All for one and one for all!

Call upon your squad and head onto the battlefield ready for combat with our returning online Multiplayer modes. Whether you prefer the chaos of Deathmatch and No-Cross or the wave based tactics of Survival, there’s plenty of scope-based carnage to be had. Compete with up to 16 players and battle it out until a champion is crowned.

Sniper Elite: Resistance – coming 2025 to Game Pass Day One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC and PC via Steam, Epic and PlayStation 4 & 5

Atomfall is a new single player survival-action game set in post-war Britain, with players exploring a mysterious nuclear quarantine zone in the North of England. Take a sneak peek of what’s to come in this green and unpleasant land with Atomfall’s reveal trailer:

Click Here to watch Atomfall’s Reveal Trailer on YouTube. 

Where is Atomfall set?

Inspired by the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale disaster in the North of England, you pick up the story five years after the fire in a fictionalised quarantine zone. A lot has changed in this time and you’ll need to explore this hostile world and navigate bizarre characters, mysticism, cults and murky government agencies.

A Screenshot of a character holding a gun centred in the middle of the shot. Behind him is a wonderful British landscape, with a church and lots of other buildings and greenery. On the right is a sign reading "Wyndham Lake District".

Defend yourself with a selection of weapons (including pistols, SMGs, bows and arrows and more) and if that’s not your style, feel free to give your enemies a whack with a cricket bat. Supplies are scarce in Atomfall. You will need to hunt and scavenge for resources including food, crafting materials, weapons and ammunition. Your metal detector will help you scavenge and unearth other secrets too…

What is ‘Protocol’?

In response to the disaster, the army has been sent in to create and maintain a quarantine zone. This response force is known as ‘Protocol’. They are the ones tasked with keeping people safe – but after five years, their outlook has soured. 

You will learn more about Protocol as you interact with them – and the people they seek to control – over the course of the game. Are they a force for good, keeping people safe? Are they a force of oppression, making life harder for those in the quarantine zone? Or is there more going on than meets the eye?

Protocol are using all the resources at their disposal to maintain the quarantine. This includes scavenging equipment from B.A.R.D. (British Atomic Research Division) science bunkers. The robots are programmed to do everything necessary to maintain the quarantine. You need to make sure you know what you are doing before choosing to take one on.

The character POV is first person, you are holding a flash light in your right hand. Infront of you is a striking yellow B.A.R.D robot walking towards you. The robots left arm is a gun and the right arm is a claw. Within the background the scenery is dark.

Atomfall is an original title that comprises single player gameplay and story elements which are brand new for Rebellion. We will be revealing more about Atomfall soon.
