Overview
The Wicked Isle story expansion is set on Midsummer Island. To get there, players must speak to the boat-keeper in Wyndham Village, who provides the first Lead. Located near the Windscale Atom Plant, Midsummer has higher infection levels and introduces new enemies like pirate bandits and infected druids. Players can find new weapons, including a Blunderbuss, bow, daggers, the Beekeeper’s Staff, unlock new skills and an upgraded metal detector. Leads found on the island open new story paths and possible alternate endings to Atomfall.

Atomfall Wicked Isle starts off promising with a trip to an eerie island inhabited by cults and creepy fish people. But the call of the mainland proves too much as it segues back to the base game in many ways. It's a fine diversion, but doesn't do much to differentiate itself from what's already in the game.
Wicked Isle feels like a band releasing greatest hits albums to meet a contractual obligation. It's a remix of what came before, so if you just want more Atomfall for a future playthrough or haven't played the main game yet, this slots right in. If you were hoping for a narrative hook that keeps you invested on its own merits, you'll be disappointed....
Atomfall Wicked Isle is more of the core game set on the mysterious Midsummer Isle, but often feels like a Wicker Man-themed fetch quest.
Wicked Isle might not shake up the Atomfall formula, but it doesn't need to. It extends the core experience with more of what fans enjoyed: spooky British landscapes, oddball quests, and just enough mystery to make exploration rewarding. It is guilty of not introducing any exciting new gameplay mechanics and it can feel familiar in places, but hey…...
