Rebellion confirms Alien Deathstorm uses advanced Atomfall engine with new lighting
Rebellion developers confirmed at Gamescom that Alien Deathstorm runs on a more advanced version of the Atomfall engine featuring improved lighting and fog systems.
Engine upgrade details revealed
Head of design Ben Fisher stated the team built the game on a new iteration of their existing technology. This updated engine provides a deeper sense of realism for players exploring the environment. Producer Martin Willingham noted that these technical improvements were essential for an action horror title.
Dynamic sandbox gameplay approach
The studio considers the experience dynamic rather than a traditional survival shooter with static features. Player actions can affect unscripted enemy encounters within the sandbox environment. The team values replayability and freedom in how players interact with the game world.
Visual enhancements for horror
The new lighting system is described as a must-have feature for the genre. Improved visual effects accompany the fog system to enhance the overall atmosphere. These changes help bring the horror aspect of the game to life effectively.
