Atomfall debuted earlier this year to an outstanding reception. Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion, highlighted that inclusion in Xbox Game Pass was key to reaching more than two million players in just a few weeks, making it the most successful launch in the studio's history.

The first expansion, Wicked Isle, released in June, maintained fans' anticipation with an alternative storyline that reinforced interest in the saga.
