Atomic Heart arrived in 2023 as one of the biggest action game surprises, offering players an alternative history version of the Soviet Union to explore where the player is in the middle of a robot uprising. Just as the original passes 10 million players, developer Mundfish today unveiled two new games at the Summer Game Fest showcase.
First up is Atomic Heart 2, a full-fledged sequel that has players returning to the over-the-top retrofuturistic setting for another wacky adventure. The studio promises an expanded RPG system, a story that picks up from the original, bringing back all the fan-favorite characters, as well as an "explosive combat system" that now let players use both hands for their powers and standard weaponry.
“Ever since the launch of the original Atomic Heart, we’ve been floored by the unwavering support and enthusiasm of our playerbase. When we set out to create the Atomic Universe, we never imagined that the community would respond with such amazing passion,” shared Robert Bagratuni, Founder and CEO of Mundfish, and Game Director of Atomic Heart 2. He continues, “It’s been hard sitting on this announcement for so long, but today, at Summer Game Fest, we’re incredibly happy to finally and officially announce that Atomic Heart 2 is coming, and it’s bigger and bolder than the original.”
Built on Unreal Engine 5, Atomic Heart 2 is coming to PC and consoles. A release window has not been attached to the project yet.
Next, the studio revealed it's working on a unique spin-off that's set in the same universe. Dubbed The Cube, it will be a massively multiplayer online RPG shooter experience that has players entering a giant cube structure in the sky for survival.
Aside from fighting massive monsters and the cube itself, the unique element comes from how the environment will scramble like a Rubik's cube. This unstable arena will offer players new opportunities without needing to travel large distances in an open world.
The Cube does not have a release date attached to it either.
