The trailer is only in Russian, but you can turn on closed captions to get the full picture.Ītomic Heart's weapons are makeshift, and you'll piece them together from 'various metal parts, detached from robots or taken from the household appliances or fragments obtained during the game'. There's also this cinematic teaser that depicts a cryptic conversation between what we assume is your main character and a shadowy figure on a screen. Hacking or disabling these hives limits how many of the bee drones are active, meaning you'll want to plan your targets as you progress through an area. The bee-like security cameras live together in a hive from which they'll emerge to hunt you down if you're detected by another enemy. The neatest bit discusses enemy ecosystems. It's a slightly tough watch-being entirely in Russian with less than fantastic English subtitles-but it's good to see some gameplay. Just before that official teaser in 2020 we also saw some footage courtesy of Russian gaming service 4game who played four hours of an in-development build spanning five in-game areas, and has released a lengthy video detailing just about everything they saw. In 2020 we also got to see a quick gameplay teaser showing some of Atomic Heart's retro-tech environments and a few really huge enemies including those wild drill snakes. It starts off with the protagonist exploring a museum and clearing out less-threatening enemies before encountering a spooky mess of a boss. In summer 2020, Mundfish published a 7-minute gameplay and mini-boss fight video introducing the enemy Plyush. Mote the zipline ropes, the use of quick-time events, and the large robot enemy at the end of the video, who is presumably some sort of boss. It gives you a glimpse at both the shooting and melee combat, as well as the weird world. Mundfish released 10 minutes of Atomic Heart gameplay in 2019. It also shows the player using a glove to defy gravity, hack electronics, and shock those killer robots. The E3 2021 trailer (opens in new tab) is particularly bizarre, featuring killer robots (and one with fruit inside its head), frozen explosions and other messing around with the laws of space and time, and a babushka who looks like she's about to beat somebody up with a soup ladle. Atomic Heart gets weirder, wilder, and prettier every time we see it. Mundfish tend to go a while between gameplay videos but when the show up they really show up. Here's all the Atomic Heart gameplay you need to see Its combat is a mixture of shooting and melee with improvised weapons, and the scarcity of ammo means you'll want to sneak through some areas, too. What is Atomic Heart?Īn alternate reality Soviet-era first-person combat game with killer robots, clown-themed torture chambers (opens in new tab), and grandmas trapped in flowing molecular gloop (opens in new tab).

It'll be a day one release for Xbox Game Pass, and hopefully Game Pass for PC too. As of August 2021 the game was ' at the stage of polishing and final assembly', so it seems pretty likely they'll hit that target. Announced via a trailer (opens in new tab), the release window is a vague '#ber' which could mean any date between September and December 2022.

When is Atomic Heart's release date?Ītomic Heart will release in late 2022, studio Mundfish confirmed in February. But what do you actually get when you mix all of those influences together? Here's everything we know about Atomic Heart.

Its inspirations are varied: you'll spot flashes of Metro, BioShock, Nier: Automata and Stalker in its art and gameplay, while the world is a product of both Russian sci-fi and the experiences of the Mundfish dev team, some of whom grew up in Russia.
