Atomfall New "The Red Strain" Expansion Launched

We here at Rebellion are delighted to share The Red Strain, a new story expansion to its smash hit survival action game Atomfall. The latest expansion adds a new in-game location called Test Site Moriah, new characters, as well as additional leads, weapons, skills, items and new endings for Atomfall's main story.

The Red Strain
Nestled in the hills, away from the prying eyes of the locals, lies Test Site Moriah. A secret research site built by B.A.R.D on the site of an old missile testing facility, it has been shrouded in mystery ever since it opened. But something changed when the quarantine came into effect. Now, the facility has fallen into more nefarious hands, and a deadly virus is seeping out from the secret network of underground labs and bunkers. But a route back into the facility has been located, and with it the opportunity to finally get some answers.
  • Investigate Test Site Moriah to uncover the mysteries hidden within the top-secret research facility, hidden away for years.
  • Find new items and upgrade unique abilities that can be used throughout the Quarantine Zone.
  • Enhance your arsenal with new suppressed weapons and take over robot weaponry when you need some extra firepower.
  • Fight for survival against fearsome new foes, with some made more powerful by the Red Strain and others the result of twisted experimentation
Atomfall's The Red Strain will launch today on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows PC and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The expansion is priced at £14.99 (€19.99 / $19.99) on PC and £15.99 (€19.99 / $19.99) on PlayStation and Xbox.

To celebrate the release of Atomfall: The Red Strain, new merchandise has dropped on the Rebellion Shop designed for both comfort and post-apocalyptic adventure. This includes an office-friendly enamel mug with the bold C.O.R.E logo, as well as "End Of the Line" drinkware and a range of t-shirts featuring robots, blueprints and brain jars. Find the full Atomfall product collection on the Rebellion Shop.

Just checked and Atomfall still has Denuvo so my answer remains the same: no.

That's cool, but I played it on game pass in June on a 4070 at native 4K60 with high settings. No stutter or major framerate drops. Definitely not "next-gen" visuals, but it runs really well.

I'll probably pick up a complete edition at some point. Enjoyed the base game a lot, but the DLCs are too expensive.

My issue with Denuvo isn't performance but economics. Implementing Denuvo has a cost that is, as with any product, transfered to the end customer which is us. So the ones actually buyng the games are the ones paying extra for a system that has no value to them because it only affects those who aren't going to buy the game, i.e. pirates. So Denuvo is loosing them actual sales, like me, for the sales that piracy would (in their imagination) prevent because there is no realiable data to prove that's actually the case. The reason is simple: the only data you have is the copies you actually sold. The data about copies you could have sold is just imaginary extrapolation so they're pulling the numbers out of their arses. Given the lack of evidence of Denuvo's effectiveness, the people selling Denuvo are pure geniuses and the ones buying are idiots and I don't like to give my money to idiots. That's it.

I was disappointed with the previous DLC or expansion or whatever it's called. The map was small, and basically, I had to find a few keys for a door in the church basement, and you get an alternative ending. If the new expansion is something like that again, this time I’ll wait until it drops to 6 euros before I buy it. Even the main game, although I liked it, was a bit pricey at 40 euros—but at least it was longer. Now they’re asking 20 euros for just three or four days of gameplay.
