Atomic Heart is coming day one to Xbox Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud.

Atomic Heart takes place in the Soviet Union in an alternative reality sometime in 1955, where technology like the internet, holograms and robots have already been invented. The main protagonist is a special agent called P-3, who is sent by the government to investigate a manufacturing facility that has fallen silent.

[Alan Silvestro]

Dunno why remind me Capcom's Pragmata. Looks cool!

 

[Nikodemos]

Wow, this game has been in development for nearly 5 years now, if I recall correctly.

 

[kretos]

[Arcadialane]

Almost like a Russian Bioshock? probably my favourite of the show, just need a date

would love to know what on earth is going on in the beginning there.

 

[HarryKS]

Announcement? There's videos of gameplay on YouTube since last year.

 

[Kagey K]

This was my surprise of the show. Looked way better than I expected.

 

[Warablo]

This game always has a great showing, but I know the melee combat looked really stiff in older gameplay videos.

 

[Ezquimacore]

anime tiddies and tentacles with a budget

 

[SJRB]

Ultra weird game. Every time I see it, it makes me feel uneasy.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Weird as fukk

 

[TonyK]

I wish it will be good. Now it seems potentially trash or a masterpiece. I'm very intrigued about it.

 

[martino]

i'm not a big fan of fps but i could try this one at some point.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

It looks kinda quirky, but interesting. As long as the world isnt shit and keep's you on your toes, it could be well worth it.

 

[rofif]

I am still worried bout performance. but I just want this to come out... no date

 

[Plantoid]

One of the surprises, games looks like Bioshock meets metro on acid

 

[eastcoastkody]

never heard of it....but that trailer was one of these best gameplay reveals we saw

 

[Magic Carpet]

Wow something new in every trailer with this game. Really looking forward to this.

 

[CitizenZ]

I love the fcking art in this game. Will it be great? Probably not, but still will play it.

 

[Insane Metal]

That looks nextgen as fuuck, I like it

 

[Dolomite]

Ultra weird game. Every time I see it, it makes me feel uneasy.

Lol same. I was both deeply disturbed and intrigued. Day one on gamepass

 

[Shubh_C63]

Earlier footage I was just googling.

I feel sad for this game. Looks so good and will do worse or about as same as PREY financially. Edit : but amazing entry for Gamepass though, like ridiculous.

 

[Faded Memory]

Yes this looked cool, I hope we see more of it.

 

[GymWolf]

I love this game.

 

[decisions]

Need a date on this. It’s been years of trailers.

 

[Strider Highwind]

this game looks beautiful, when and if it comes to PS5 ill snatch it

Its coming to PS5. I think it started out as a PS4 exclusive, then became a PS5 exclusive at one point, then switched to Xbox Series X/PS5/PC. Its plenty of PC/PS5 gameplay out there too
First search heres an 18 minute video of it being played on PC, it actually looks pretty fun, just needs some optimization(And this is an old video from last summer)


The game looks like a curious mix of Doom/Prey/And a sprinkle of Dishonored(Melee and Powers). I been pretty intrigued by it for the past year

 

[alucard0712_rus]

I hope they nail the fun mechanics.

 

[Tschumi]

this is sooooo intriguing like it

 

[horkrux]

Now I only need to know when this "day one" is gonna be

PLEEEEEEAAASE

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Classicrockfan]

Please have a physical release with a cool collectors edition.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Did Microsoft buy this company as well or will I be able to pick this up on my ps5. It looks rad.

 

[reksveks]

All platforms. Only thing is that it's a day one gamepass game.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

My heart is atómic only for kat.

 

[Von Hugh]

Wonder if the whole "everything is either white or red colored" becomes a bit jarring and boring in the long run. I like that games have their own identity and (color) theme, but I think this might be pushing it a bit if that's all they have got to show us.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Oh nice, I’ve had this on my radar since the first showing years back. And day one on Gamepass too!

 

[GymWolf]

Day one.

 

[Alexios]

Looks promising, reminds me of Singularity (everyone should play this one, we need more games like Raven used to make). Hope it's not super short like the recent Industria.

 

[Robot Carnival]

they really nailed the atomicpunk feel and I love that future "what if" USSR style. might play this with Russian voice and English subtitle if it's available.

Atomic Heart Described as 'Way Crazier' Version of Doom and Wolfenstein

FPS Atomic Heart is like a “way crazier” Doom and Wolfenstein.

gamerant.com

A development team member talked about the upcoming FPS in a recent interview. The discussion covered several topics related to the game and its development, with the interviewee calling Atomic Heart a “way crazier” version of the Bethesda-published Doom and Wolfenstein games.

GamingBolt’s Shubhankar Parijat published the interview earlier today but did not specify who at the studio they spoke to. The conversation touched on the game’s open world and combat systems, in addition to questions about its development progress. Near the end of the interview, Parijat asked how the game’s more strategic approach to shooting will manifest in gameplay. However, the developer’s response indicated that Atomic Heart’s action-packed gameplay has more in common with the sensibilities of recent Bethesda first-person shooters than anything else.

Mundfish’s representative told the interviewer, “Atomic Heart is an action game first and foremost. It’s very dynamic. You can definitely strategize on the go and pick various playstyles, but the core gameplay revolves around high-octane action. Think Doom, Wolfenstein, but way crazier.” This somewhat contradicts the tone of the original 2017 teaser, which seemed to suggest a slower, more atmospheric shooter in the same vein as Irrational Games’ BioShock. However, it matches the tone of Atomic Heart’s Release Window Reveal trailer that debuted on February 9th.

They also went over some questions about Atomic Heart’s development. These included its development cycle, with the developer noting that Mundfish started work on the concept more than a decade ago. However, the studio still seems confident in the final product. And While there is still plenty that the studio’s not ready to talk about, they said a few things about Atomic Heart’s art direction and enemy design. The source emphasized the wide range of robotic and zombified enemies that players will encounter.

In addition, the interview touched on the game’s overall size and scope. Mundfish expects average players to finish Atomic Heart in around 20 hours. They also indicated that Atomic Heart’s open-world is relatively modest in size, and players should not expect anything on the scale of an Assassin’s Creed game, for example. The studio says it focuses on “making it truly believable and immersive” but is not quite ready to talk details.

Mundfish’s also not ready to announce any post-release content. However, developers are open to the possibility and claim to have ideas for the future of Atomic Heart’s unique setting.
