I liked Atomfall quite a lot, especially after I stopped trying to play it like British Fallout and treated it as a linear survival-shooter instead. It was also the most successful game launch in Rebellion's history, which is not nothing given that the company has been around for more than 30 years.

Even so, I was surprised to learn, as I did when I read this Deadline report, that it's being adapted into a TV series.

"Atomfall has such a distinctive British tone and setting, and it’s been a real joy developing it alongside the Rebellion team—especially as two brothers working alongside two brothers (Rebellion founders Jason and Chris Kingsley)," the brothers said. "There’s something very exciting about expanding this strange, unsettling story for television."

In Atomfall, by comparison, you can do pretty much whatever you want. It's got sci fi, folk horror, action, comedy, conspiracy—and because it's British, you can cram in pretty much whatever else you want and people will just say, "oh, it's so cultured and sophisticated. Just like Masterpiece Theatre!"
