The Italian Job Easter Egg
The Italian Jobisone of the most stylish movies ever made, and it is filled with quotes and iconic visuals that make it a popular movie to reference. Deep in the northern portion of Casterfell Dam, players can come across red, yellow, and blue Mini Coopers precariously parked on the edge of a broken bit of highway.
Just like the Mr. Bean car reference, you’re able to’t get to this reference up close, but with Photo Mode, you can zoom in on the cars to see skeletons that reference the characters from the movie, too.

The Wicker Man Easter Egg
Though the Wicker Man have been an iconic part of traditional pagan and Celtic practices since time immemorial, the way the Wickerman on the edge of the Druid Camp looks is surely a direct reference to the 1972 movieThe Wicker Man. Aside from the large wooden horns mantled on the side of its head, theAtomfallWickerman looks almost exactly like the one in the film.
Ithouses the body of a dead and infected body, which is surely set to be burned in the name of the Voice In The Soil.
Kilroy Was Here Easter Egg
One of the oldest memes in the history of the world is the “Kilroy Was Here” graffiti that was popular among the allied frontlines of World War 2.
Atomfalltakes place relatively soonafter the end of WW2, and the concrete walls that surround Wyndham Village display some of this historical meme art in various locations, likely because the concrete walls are being repurposed from WW2 surplus.
Judge Dredd Easter Egg
BeforeAtomfall,Sniper Elite,Zombie Army, or any of the modern games that Rebellion Developments is so well known for, thestudio worked on theJudge DreddIPwith the 2003 gameJudge Dredd: Dredd VS Death. This helmet, which can be found on a shelf deep in a Protocol bunker in Skethermoor, is a direct reference to Rebellion’s history with the franchise.
The Prisoner Easter Egg
Atomfallis stuffed with references to classic British sci-fi and pulp fiction from the post-war era. One of the most celebrated British television shows from the 1960s isThe Prisoner, a psychological show about an imprisoned spy in an idyllic, strange village.
There are two references toThe PrisonerinAtomfall: a chessboard that depicts the same game of chess from the ninth episode, titled “Checkmate”, and a note in Skethermoor Prison that reads, “I am not a number.”
Fawlty Towers Easter Egg
In northeast Wyndham Village, just down the road from the Casterfell Woods entrance, you will find the Mereview Hotel. Look closely at the sign for the Mereview Hotel and you will realize that it looks almost exactly like theFawlty Towerslogo, down to the wonky final letter. This reference tothe John Cleese-led sitcomisn’t the only reference to Cleese’s absolutely hilarious career, but it is the most obvious.

Lord of the Rings Easter Egg
Deep inthe lush forests of Casterfell Woods, you may come across an ornate altar-like structure with an axe embedded in it, surrounded by chairs. This is a direct reference to the Council of Elrond scene fromThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Apparently, in theAtomfalluniverse, Gimli was successful in splitting The One Ring in half. Perhaps that’s why everything’s gone so pear-shaped in the Quarantine Zone.

Famous British Pubs Easter Egg
On the top floor of the Grendel’s Head, you may notice some familiar names on a sign depicting pub darts champions. In fact, all of the pubs listed on this sign are references to other fictional,famous British pop culturepubs.
The full list of pubs on this sign, and the shows that each featured in, follows:
Last Of The Summer Wine Easter Egg
In thefar east of Skethermoor, you may notice something quite peculiar: three skeletons in a tub, which appears to have crashed into a boulder. Your first thought might be that this is a reference to the classic “rub a dub dub” nursery rhyme, but it’s actually a reference to one of the funniest moments from classic British comedy seriesLast of the Summer Wine.

The Two Ronnies Easter Egg
Atomfallis a very British game, and there are fewshows that exemplify British comedyquite as well asThe Two Ronnies. One sketch in the show depicts a man looking for “fork handles”, to whom the shop owner gives “four candles” instead.
This classic bit is referenced on a worktable in the Village Shop in Windham Village – look for both the four candles and fork handles to the left of the entrance to the shop.

Monty Python Easter Egg
Themost influential British comedy show of all timeis surelyMonty Python’s Flying Circus, and arguably the most famous sketch that fans and non-fans alike all know by heart is the Dead Parrot sketch.
Look just to the right of Morris in the back right of the shop and you’ll see an obvious reference to this irreverent sketch: a dead parrot – a Norweigan Blue – laying dead as a doornail inside of a rusty cage. Or maybe it’s not dead, just pining for the fjords.
Excalibur Easter Egg
There is one unique melee weapon inAtomfallthat also serves asa reference to classic British mythology. Just to the northeast of the Druid Camp in the southwest of Casterfell Woods, look for The Sword In The Stone on the opposite side of a river bank, near a large Triffid enemy.
You’ll have to pull it out of the stone, and because you’re not destined to become the next king of England, the sword will break as you yank it out of the ground. Still, you’ll be left with a fast melee weapon and a nifty experience.

Goldfinger Easter Egg
Atomfalldoesn’t just reference classic British sci-fi and comedy – it also referencesthe most famous British spy of all time, James Bond. InDr. No, the character Oddjob demonstrates his particular set of skills by throwing his hat so hard at a statue’s neck that it severs the statue’s head.
Just outside of Datlow Hall in Casterfell Woods, look for a decapitated statue just beyond the main gates at the front of the manor. Its head rests in the grass just to the right, a sure reference to this iconicJames Bondmoment.

John Wyndham & The Triffids
There are two references players can find to classic British sci-fi author John Wyndham inAtomfall. The name of Wyndham Village itself is a reference to this well-known sci-fi author, and the carnivorous plant enemies you will encounter in Druid and Infection-ridden areas are direct references to the Triffids from classic British sci-fi novelThe Day Of The Triffids.
The living plants inAtomfalllook almost exactly like the Triffids from the film adaptation, too, in a surereference to this classic British sci-fi monster.

Doctor Who Easter Egg
Of all the sci-fi shows and stories that the U.K. is so well known for,Doctor Whois probably the most impactful and well-known sci-fi show Britain has ever produced. It’s no wonder, then, that one of the manyAtomfalleaster eggs references this seminal sci-fi serieswith the appearance of the T.A.R.D.I.S.
However, you may’t get close to this reference. Instead, look for the familiar blue Police box behind the Skethermoor Prison the first time you enter the Skethermoor zone, atop a small, climbable set of cliffs. Once you begin your ascent to take a closer look, however, you will hear the sound of the T.A.R.D.I.S. teleporting away, and it will disappear for the rest of the game.
