A new trailer for the upcoming game Atomic Heart has been revealed by developer Mundfish, indicating a late 2022 release. The game was announced in 2018, however, due to a postponement of the original 2019 release date, it was nearly forgotten. Set in an alternate reality, the game is a first-person shooter RPG based in 1950s Russia.
Atomic Heart is evocative of Bioshock and Fallout, blending a first-person shooter with a compelling tale. It also takes place in a futuristic and dystopian alternate reality.
The game takes place in the Soviet Union in 1955, and it blends Russian science fiction with Cold War realism. The player will take on the role of Agent P-3 and will be able to travel through the fictitious Soviet Union. As P-3, the player must deal with the fallout from an accident that turned scientific progress against the Soviet people.
Mundfish released a trailer of Atomic Heart on February 9, displaying gameplay and giving a glimpse into its intriguing plot. The trailer showcased Atomic Heart's "retro-futuristic" backdrop, as well as the companions and opponents Agent P-3 will face during their journey.
