Atomfall to receive a TV adaptation in the wake of the game’s success

Rebellion Developments are known best for their work on the Sniper Elite franchise, having released 5 mainline entries in the series alongside a bunch of spin-offs. Going in a different direction however, the team released their new IP – the first-person survival action shooter ‘Atomfall’ – last year to a wave of success. Now, as revealed by Rebellion, the game is officially being adapted into a TV show.

As reported by the publication Deadline, Rebellion and Two Brothers Pictures are joining forces to develop a TV show based on last year’s hit survival shooter Atomfall. As of now, details on the project remain light, with the only confirmed details being that the show will be written by Two Brothers Pictures founders Harry and Jack Williams.

For the uninitiated, Atomfall is a rather unique first-person survival action game which “blends post-war Britain with Cold War paranoia, folk horror, and elements of classic British sci-fi like Day of the Triffids, Doctor Who and The Prisoner, to create an immersive and thrilling gameplay experience.”

Upon its release, the game was an immediate success, amassing millions of players and quickly turning a profit. While critic reviews for the title were somewhat mixed, the general audience came to appreciate the title more, owing to the game’s mystery, exploration and overall vibes.

Given the unique premise of Atomfall, it should be ripe for a live-action TV adaptation – as long as they manage to successfully translate the game’s tone and sense of intrigue.
