Wicked Isle, the first story expansion for Atomfall®, is available now. This new pack adds the Midsummer Island location to the game together with a host of new leads, characters, enemies, weapons, items and more for you to discover. You may even uncover new potential endings for the main story.



Included as part of the Deluxe Edition, and available for separate purchase on all platforms, Wicked Isle digs deeper into the folk horror elements of Atomfall as you take a boat ride across the dark and lonely waters of the lake in Wyndham Village to reach Midsummer Island.

Rebellion’s Head of Design, Ben Fisher, gave us an insight into the making of Wicked Isle and what you are going to find there in our latest gameplay showcase:

To access Wicked Isle you need to head to docks on the shore in Wyndham and find Bill Anderson, a boatman who's an expert at navigating the treacherous waters of Lake Wyndhamere. As you approach, Bill will call you over, asking for help locating something he’s lost. This is where your journey to Midsummer Isle begins.

Once you agree to help Bill, he will take you over to the island and give you your first lead. From hereon in it is up to you to explore as you like.



Set close to the Windscale Atom Plant and shrouded by fog, you will quickly find that the disaster has taken its toll on Midsummer Island with infection rife, affecting both the environment and those that live there.

While you are on the island you are going to meet a host of colourful new characters and enemies. A deranged druid cult has become even more powerful through their pagan rituals while roaming bandits have embraced the island’s nautical past and strange creatures lurk in the watery depths.



To survive you are going are going to have to make use of the new weapons and items you will find as you explore. This includes a devastating Blunderbuss shotgun which inflicts huge damage but has a limited range as well as a cutlass and some strange ritualistic weapons. There is also an upgraded metal detector to find as well as a host of new skills, including Decomposition, a powerful ability that causes enemies to rapidly dissolve into fungal spores after a takedown.

There is much more for you to discover once you cross the lake to Midsummer Island, but we will leave you to explore and find them for yourselves.

As always you can keep up to date with all the latest Atomfall news on our social channels.

Atomfall wasn't as good as it could have been when it launched in March, mainly due to its barebones combat and anaemic stealth and survival systems. But I nonetheless enjoyed exploring Rebellion's eerie take on the Lake District while unravelling the mystery behind the catastrophe at the Windscale Power Plant. I'd be more than happy to ramble through a little extra of that world, and it just so happens that more Atomfall will wash up on the Cumbrian coast next week...
