nuclear power It looks very popular, with 1.5 million players arriving, and 300,000 cups of tea and drinking.
It says Rebellion’s new IP setup in northern England is the company’s most successful launch in its 32-year history. Rebellion is the developer behind the popular Sniper Elite series, as well as the entries for the derivative Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army.
This is the official work:
Atomfall is a UK-based apocalyptic survival event game inspired by the real-life Windscale nuclear events in the 1950s. Players will embark on a fictional adventure to encounter a weird and marvelous character as they try to uncover the mystery and escape from the quarantine.
“We are glad that so many players enjoyed the Atoms,” said Jason Kingsley CBE, CEO and co-founder of the Rebellion.
“Throughout one million players in such a short time, it speaks a lot to the creativity and dedication of the entire team of the rebellion. Our size and stability mean we can risk creating risks as different as Atomfall. Fortunately, this risk is rewarding.
“We are a British company and the game is a true reflection of that. Not only is it set in the lush countryside, but Atomfall draws inspiration from many classic British books, movies and TV series.
“We hope players continue to enjoy exploring the world of atoms and look forward to future content of the game.”
When Atomfall was launched across PCs, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox Series X and S and Xbox One at the same time, It is also released as a one-day champion on the game passwhich will greatly increase the player numbers.
The Rebellion doesn't say how many copies of the game were sold, but a preference like Ubisoft, the maker of Assassin's Creed, follows the player numbering route. But this does provide some interesting statistics to support IT announcements.
For example, more than 316,000 atomic players killed scientists at the beginning of the game. In total, more than 3.7 million cricket bats have been used to kill people, and more than 4 million cups of pie and 300,000 cups of tea have been consumed.
