Earlier today, Polish website XGP cited an anonymous source from Atomic Heart developer Mundfish that said development on the game had stopped for a month when Russia invaded Ukraine, potentially leading to a release date delay to the first quarter of 2023.
Mundfish, a Russian studio, quickly issued an official response on Telegram saying that the development of Atomic Heart never stopped. They didn’t outright deny the delay rumor, though that appears to be the implication here.
Atomic Heart is currently scheduled to hit PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 in the last quarter of this year. The game will be available on day one to Game Pass subscribers.
Check out our latest interview with Mundfish from a few months ago.
Set an alternate version of the 1950’s, the story of Atomic Heart takes place in a Soviet Union in which robotics and other advanced technologies were developed during World War II. This world isn’t so far removed from the ideals for which humanity is fighting today: a happy society, the power of science, perfect cities with green, sun-dappled parks and town squares, the automation of everyday life, the desire to explore the stars… these things could be right around the corner. But let’s take a look at the dark underbelly of this ideal world — what if all this had already happened? And where could it lead?
Robots designed to help humans have rebelled against their creators. Secret experiments have led to the emergence of terrifying mutants. Giant machines and bloodthirsty creatures are just a few of the obstacles that stand between you and the completion of your secret mission. You’ll have to do your homework and study every deadly foe to avoid becoming their victims.
Prepare for the fight of your life. Choose optimal tactics for each unique opponent and use everything you can get your hands on, from the special abilities provided by your combat glove to heavy weapons of mass destruction. Combine defensive and offensive skills, interact with your environment, and keep an eye on the enemy to ensure victory. With a wide range of upgrades for all firearms and melee weapons, you can crush anyone who stands in your way. Get ready — this is going to hurt!
