Atomfall, Known As "British Fallout" To Some, Is Getting A TV Show

2025's action-survival game Atomfall, known by some as "British Fallout," is getting a TV show. Two Brothers Pictures has announced that it's secured the rights to make a TV adaptation of the Rebellion game, which just won Best British Game at the BAFTAs. Rebellion will be involved, too.

The game is inspired by the real-world Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957, with the action taking place inside a walled-in quarantine zone in the aftermath of the nuclear incident. In the game, players awake in the quarantine zone with no recollection of how they got there, with players seeking to find answers and ultimately a way out.

Atomfall reached more than 3.7 million players globally, a number that was no doubt assisted by the game's inclusion on Xbox Game Pass. The TV show will "expand on the game's mythology while remaining faithful to its tone, themes, and British roots," according to a press release.
