00:02Everyone at Rebellion is excited to share with you our gameplay overview for Atomfall's first story expansion, Wicked Isle.
00:14Isolated from the rest of the quarantine zone by treacherous waters, Midsummer Isle is a place few dare to reach, and even fewer return from.
00:24Here, danger lurks around every corner, and the deeper you dig into the secrets of the past, the more resistance you'll face.
00:37This new expansion introduces a brand new location, mysterious new enemies, powerful new weapons, and plenty more.
00:46All to expand the world of Atomfall in bold and unexpected ways.
00:51This is Wicked Isle.
00:54In the main game, you've uncovered secrets across regions like Wyndham Village, Scethamore, and the Casterfell woods, piecing together the mystery behind the Windscale disaster.
01:18But that wasn't the full story.
01:22Wicked Isle will enhance the Atomfall experience by adding a wealth of new content.
01:28This update expands Atomfall's lore, with new revelations surrounding Midsummer Isle and the Windscale disaster.
01:34You'll travel to the island by boat from Wyndham Village.
01:39This will also be your method of transportation for leaving and returning to the island.
01:44The lead you uncover may send you back to the mainland to search for hidden secrets, which may open up alternative endings to the game.
01:52Midsummer Isle is packed with secrets, stories, and dangers waiting to be discovered.
01:59Constant storm clouds hang above the island, creating a sense of dread as you explore the foreboding darkness concealing the dangers hidden within.
02:10A small, abandoned fishing village which serves as your boat's dock to the island has started to be reclaimed by nature, with vines, matured mushrooms, and fungus growing on the walls of many buildings.
02:25Welcome to Midsummer Island. Nice, isn't it?
02:33Near the village is a strange forest that seems to be more mysterious and dangerous than what you may find in the Casterfell woods.
02:41While the island is largely covered by this forest, there are several waterways and hidden paths that can lead to new items and discoveries.
02:48The ruins of an old abbey sit atop the Wicked Isle and contain secrets that may deepen your understanding of what's going on in the quarantine zone.
03:00You won't be alone on Midsummer Isle.
03:03The lake bandits patrol the fishing village and surrounding areas, and they won't hesitate to eliminate anyone they see as a threat.
03:10Similar to their mainland counterparts, these enemies are aggressive and territorial, but there is one key difference.
03:16They now wield a brutal new weapon, the Blunderbuss shotgun.
03:20This powerful firearm blasts two shotgun shells at the same time, which not only deals devastating damage, but also tends to set its targets ablaze, making this an immensely formidable weapon.
03:33The Druids have claimed the forest and ruins on the island for themselves.
03:39They are looking for something that was lost in time and will stop anyone who gets in their way.
03:45Because of this, their numbers are larger and can quickly overwhelm you.
03:50Be extra cautious near bodies of water as an aquatic variant of the ferals lives in these places, just waiting for anyone unfortunate enough to get close to the water.
04:01As you explore Midsummer Isle, you may uncover hidden clues that shed light on the island's dark past.
04:08Wicked Isle introduces the Monk's Grove, a reclusive group whose members have adopted the consciousness of the monks who came before them.
04:17But deeper still lies the ancient abbey, and something far stranger within.
04:23Those who pay close attention may find themselves entangled in a secret that has remained buried for centuries.
04:29Hard to say. Monks wrote that it connected them to something older. Something that came long before us.
04:38Throughout your playthrough of Wicked Isle, you'll be able to explore haunting visions of the distant past, and see how certain events unfolded surrounding the monks of the abbey.
04:49In Wicked Isle, there's still plenty more left for you to uncover.
04:53A barred research bunker rests at the northmost point of the island.
04:56What were the scientists working on this far from the Winscale plant?
05:01Only by diving deeper into the depths of the island will you be able to discover this mystery.
05:07With this new DLC, we have introduced some new items and weapons exclusively found on Midsummer Isle.
05:14As mentioned before, there is a new Blunderbuss shotgun, but that's not all.
05:18You can also find the fast-firing Midsummer Bow, and the corrupted dagger that deals extra damage to infected enemies.
05:24A few of the new items include Arrow Poison, which adds a deadly effect to arrows for the duration, and the Druid's Tonic, which restores a significant amount of health while also causing you to gain infection.
05:38Four new skills have been added for you to find and unlock, like the skill Decomposition.
05:45This skill rapidly decomposes enemies into fungal spores after performing a takedown while being infected.
05:53With no body to be discovered, you can move more stealthily around enemy groups.
05:57To help you uncover some of the secrets kept by the monks, you can upgrade your metal detector to look for a certain material that was used in their hidden caches placed around the island.
06:08For a more in-depth look at these new items and weapons, a showcase video is coming soon.
06:16New mysteries and discoveries await those brave enough to venture into the unknown territory of Midsummer Isle when the DLC releases on June 3rd, 2025.
06:27The Wicked Isles DLC will be available to Deluxe and Quarantine Edition owners on release, as well as a separate purchase for those who hold the standard edition.
06:37Atomfall is available on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles.
06:45For PC players, Atomfall is available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Windows PC and the Xbox app for PC.
