Just a couple of months after the launch of Sniper Elite Resistance, UK studio Rebellion is back with another big new release for PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

Atomfall is a new narrative-driven survival game set in the English countryside. The Standard Edition of the game has a March 27 release date on PS4, , Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (via Epic and ). However, customers who pre-order the Deluxe Edition can actually begin their adventure three days early.

The Atomfall early access period has a March 24 release date and a 2pm GMT release time for fans living in the UK.

The game is available to pre-load for pre-order customers, although the file size isn't actually that large. Atomfall weighs in at around 27GB on PS5, 30GB on Xbox Series consoles and 65GB on PC.

The Atomfall Deluxe Edition comes with a few additional in-game bonuses, including basic and enhanced supply bundles to make the early stages a little more manageable. That's on top of an unreleased Story Expansion, titled The Wicked Isle.

While the Deluxe Edition has a £74.99 price tag on consoles, PlayStation customers can actually nab some free store credit by visiting CD Keys.

At the time of writing, the online retailer is selling . This means you can get the Atomfall Deluxe Edition and have an additional £5 of PSN credit to put towards another game.

After purchasing a top-up card from CD Keys, the retailer will send you a link with the code that can redeemed on the PlayStation Store.

Once you've added the credit to your PlayStation account, you can pick up Atomfall Deluxe Edition, or use it to purchase another game.

If you're playing on Xbox, then it's worth noting that the Atomfall Standard Edition is launching as a day-one release on Game Pass Ultimate on March 27.

Inspired by the likes of Fallout, Wicker Man and The Quatermass Experiment, Atomfall takes place five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England.

Your character wakes up in a bunker with no memory of how they got there and no idea how to escape. Players will need to explore the surrounding countryside for information, following leads and bargaining with other survivors for vital supplies.

Rebellion explains more: "A fictional reimagining of a real-world event, Atomfall draws from science fiction, folk horror, and Cold War influences to create a world that is eerily familiar yet completely alien.

"The picturesque British countryside, with rolling green hills, lush valleys, and rural villages belie the dangers that await you. Navigate cult-controlled ruins, natural caves, nuclear bunkers and more as you explore this dense, foreboding world."
