For those of you who are new to the game, Atomfall<\/strong><\/em> is an action-survival mystery set in the UK. The story takes place five years after the real-life events of the 1957 Windscale Disaster in the North of England. In the world of Atomfall<\/em>, a quarantine zone has been established around the Atom Plant and no one has been allowed in or out for five years. Life and society have changed and adapted under these trying circumstances and gangs of strange folk now wander the countryside.<\/p>\n

You wake up in a bunker with no idea who you are or how you got there. Given the circumstances you have little choice but to set out on a journey to discover what really happened at Windscale and maybe try to find out who you are in the process.<\/p>\n

The Wicked Isle expansion<\/a> adds a whole new location, with its own set of characters and enemies as well as additional leads, weapons, skills, items and multiple new endings for the main game.<\/p>\n

What is the Wicked Isle?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Surrounded by murky and perilous waters lies a wicked isle\u2026 a mysterious new region to explore, nestled off the Cumberland coast. They say there was a creepy old fishing village out there, but the locals haven\u2019t seen anyone from there for years.<\/p>\n

The Wicked Isle is an entirely new area for players to explore in Atomfall<\/em>, accessible by boat from the village of Wyndham. It\u2019s a region that gave us an opportunity to really double down on the Folk Horror influences that you find throughout the game, as well as hints of sci-fi and cold war paranoia for good measure.<\/p>\n

When developing the Wicked Isle, there were two real-world locations that acted as key inspirations. The first was Lindisfarne \u2013 the \u201cHoly Island\u201d \u2013 which is a monastery on an island off the coast of Britain and was famously raided by Vikings in the 9th<\/sup> century. On the wicked isle, an Abbey towers over everything and constantly entices you to explore what secrets it holds within.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The other major inspiration was Anthrax Island, a real-world island off the coast of Scotland that was used for military experiments during the Second World War. The entire island was quarantined until the 1990s as a result of the tests, and you might find evidence of similar experiments as you explore Wicked Isle.<\/p>\n

Explore the Isle\u2019s Mysteries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shrouded by dense fog, this strange isle holds secrets that lead to the heart of the mystery of what really happened at the Windscale Plant.<\/p>\n

The Wicked Isle is located close to the Atom Plant and as a result, infection had spread rapidly and had a significant effect on the environment and the people that live there. You will have to tread carefully!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

As you investigate the island you will uncover new leads and story threads. While some of these are standalone stories, some leads link back to the overarching narrative of Atomfall as you seek to uncover what really happened.<\/p>\n

You will have to travel back to the mainland in search of clues and items which will in turn unlock multiple new potential endings for the main game.<\/p>\n

Uncover New Treasures<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While exploring you will find new items, weapons, and skills to help you as you survive in the Quarantine Zone. Deadly blunderbusses, upgraded metal detectors, and otherworldly abilities are just some of the things you\u2019ll find on the isle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In creating these new weapons, we had an immediate and impactful opportunity to link to the key themes we were exploring in this story expansion \u2013 whether it be the Blunderbuss and Cutlass tying to the nautical history of the isle itself or some of the stranger ritualistic weapons used by the pagan druids who have made this their home.<\/p>\n

However, I\u2019m most excited to see how people interact with the new abilities that the Wicked Isle brings. I don\u2019t want to give any spoilers, but you\u2019re going to find some pretty weird stuff going on out there.<\/p>\n

Face Fearsome Foes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The inhabitants of the isle have not escaped the impact of the disaster. A deranged druid cult has become even more powerful through their pagan rituals; roaming bandits have embraced the island\u2019s nautical past and strange creatures lurk in the watery depths. If you want to survive, you\u2019ll need to be prepared to fight back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The response from the community to Atomfall<\/em> has been incredible and we cannot wait for players to experience Wicked Isle. The stories and leads you uncover there and the people you will meet along the way add even greater depth to the mystery of Atomfall.<\/p>\n

Available from June 3, the Wicked Isle Story Expansion Pack<\/a> can be bought separately and is also included in the Atomfall Deluxe Edition<\/em> and Atomfall <\/em>Deluxe Upgrade. Game Pass subscribers will also receive a 10% discount. We hope you enjoy visiting the dark and lonely waters.<\/p>\n
