Atomfall’s First DLC Launches Early June
If you enjoyed the limey countryside featured in Atomfall and are itching for more, its first DLC Wicked Isle has been announced for June 3rd
What a terrible lantern, it will never light the way ahead
It’s almost time to dust off your recently completed save file for Atomfall, as Rebellion has just announced the first DLC, Wicked Isle, is just a few weeks away. Atomfall’s Wicked Isle is launching on June 3rd, a mere nine weeks after the original game’s launch. DLC launching not too long after release is always a hot topic, but I am being optimistic that Rebellion knows what they are doing.
Sadly, a release date is the best we’re getting for the moment. Though Rebellion hasn’t officially uploaded a teaser, it can be found by a quick YouTube search. While we can’t glean too much additional information on what exactly the upcoming expansion will feature, except for a new location to explore. The brief teaser shows us approaching the most likely appropriately named Wicked Isle via a boat. Longtime fans of post-apocalyptic games will feel like this is a nod to Fallout 3’s Point Lookout DLC that had a similar approach.
Though Atomfall is included in Xbox’s Game Pass, the DLC is not coming to that service. While this may not bother owners of the game or players on other platforms, the DLC will need to be bought as a standalone or as part of the Deluxe Edition upgrade. Any completionists among you won’t mind that too much.
The short clip gives off Lovecraftian vibes, implying the new DLC will be inspired by eldritch horrors such as Cthulhu. If this is the case, it will draw another parallel to Point Lookout, which featured similar themes and quests. Whether this is the case remains to be seen; however, we don’t have to wait too long to find out as Wicked Isle launches on June 3rd. Will you be diving into Atomfall once more? Let us know in the comments section.
I created this website as I feel the state of the games industry and games reporting as a whole has gotten overly negative and full of clickbait. While I understand both of these are a great way to generate engagement, it’s a detriment to those gamers (like myself) that are just trying to enjoy games and not have to worry about the negativity of the current state of the gaming industry. I want a space where gamers can come for unbiased news that doesn’t rely on clickbait or rumours with a dash of humour and have the opportunity to share their passion for games.
