Atomfall's second story DLC will see you hunted by an absolutely furious robot among some War of the Worlds-style red weed

A large robot with a brain in its cranial dome aims a laser toward the camera. A strange red mist hovers in the background.

Atomfall is getting a second helping of story DLC in September, following the release of its Wicker-Man themed Wicked Isle. Titled The Red Strain, this time War of the Worlds seems to be the British cultural touchstone developer Rebellion is riffing off, as the expansion sees you investigating a "highly confidential new location" infested by strange crimson vegetation.

Beyond that, Rebellion hasn't provided much information about The Red Strain so far. I can at least say it will feature a properly angry-looking robot, though. Rebellion released a thirty-second teaser trailer to accompany the announcement (viewable below), which mostly centres on this hulking automaton spooling up its weapons as it faces the camera.
