Rebellion has announced that the first major piece of story DLC for Atomfall, Wicked Isle, will be launching next week. It'll be purchasable separately if you don't own the Deluxe Edition, but if you do, you'll already have access to it.
Per a press release, Wicked Isle launches on June 3rd. It'll add a new location to Atomfall in the form of Midsummer Island, and while you're there, you'll also uncover new weapons, new leads, and even new endings.
As you've probably already surmised, Wicked Isle is built heavily around Atomfall's folk horror elements; if you haven't played the main game yet, I won't spoil, but suffice it to say you're not just dealing with bandits and trigger-happy military types.
Head of design Ben Fisher says that because Midsummer is closer to the Windscale plant than the rest of Atomfall's world, "the levels of infection in both the people and the environment are higher than on the mainland".
As such, you'll be encountering new enemy factions, some of which may be too infected to reason with. A new pirate bandit faction will also be present on Midsummer, and it'll be up to you how you deal with them....
