Get ready to dive into Rebellion's upcoming action-survival game, Atomfall, launching on Xbox Game Pass on March 27, 2025. In a surprising reveal, the developers have shared that players can expect an average playtime of around 25 hours. But here’s the twist: it has the potential to be a short experience for those eager to speed through the narrative and explore the game’s world.

In an interview with IGN, Rebellion's art director, Ryan Greene, emphasized that while completionists could significantly extend their playtime by exploring every corner of the game, a trophy hints at the possibility of finishing Atomfall in as little as five hours. However, rushing through might not provide the full thrill of the game’s intricacies. The open-world design allows for a unique approach—there's no conventional mission structure, encouraging players to uncover leads at their own pace.

What’s even more captivating is Greene’s suggestion that you can navigate through Atomfall without engaging in combat. He shared, “I've made it about nine hours in, probably close to halfway running at a pretty fast dev play speed, and killed no one. I’m fairly certain you can do it and there's no gating of having to kill anyone ever.” This adds a layer of strategy for players who might prefer a stealthy approach.

Anticipation builds as Rebellion prepares for this launch on multiple platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The post-apocalyptic world set in Britain is filled with bizarre NPCs and formidable mutated creatures, promising an engaging, albeit challenging experience.

As more teasers and gameplay showcases emerge, the buzz around Atomfall intensifies. It's shaping up to be a standout title on Xbox Game Pass, ensuring gamers have yet another excellent reason to subscribe. With its unique gameplay mechanics and the option for a non-violent playthrough, Atomfall is poised to captivate a broad audience.
