Entertainment TV & Movies Atomfall is the latest indie game being turned into a TV show By Kris Holt April 30, 2026 12:46 pm EST Rebellion Yet another indie game is becoming a TV show, as an adaptation of Atomfall is in the works. This is an action survival RPG that was released in 2025 and won British Game of the Year at the recent BAFTA Game Awards. That's fitting, because Atomfall is an extremely British game. It references everything from Doctor Who and the legend of Excalibur to The Lord of the Rings, James Bond, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Wicker Man. The Fallout-inspired game is set in the 1960s after a nuclear disaster leads to a quarantine zone being established in the Lake District in northern England.
