Atomic Heart gets a holiday release window alongside story trailer

We all love a good nightmarish, alternate history story, don't we? We don't? Fine, be like that. Atomic Heart, an upcoming open-world, first-person action RPG from the developers of scrapped VR game Soviet Lunapark has just given us a better look at its story, as well as a release window. The game is set to release in the fourth quarter of this year, although we aren't sure which month. The trailer literally ends by saying it'll release in "#######ber," and seeing as none of the four mounts with that suffix have a prefix of seven letters, it's easy to see that the devs are just being coy.

Atomic Heart is set to be a game predominantly about shooting, albeit with some melee action. Ammo is said to be quite scarce, and there'll be stealth as well, so it doesn't sound like we'll be going around with guns blazing this time. The game takes place in an alternate reality 1950s Soviet Union. It puts us in the shoes of a KGB agent known only as P-3 as he explores an abandoned manufacturing facility. Abandoned, save for an army of killer robots that is. It's one of those retro-future-type dealies where dated versions of future technology are everywhere. […]

same time as stalker2 would be a big mistake

hope it plays as good as it looks.

My votes for most anticipated games might have looked different had this trailer dropped before I voted.

Just remember this game probably only has RPG mechanics at best, and in the developer's words it's not an RPG. Now having said that it still looks original and good.

Oh, I'm aware. I just have no problem with that. Gives me Prey vibes and I loved Prey. Tried Control last year for a similar vibe but only found that ok (although others seem to like it more then I did).

Looks cool. Definite interest from me.

I'm getting more of a Russian Bioshock vibe, but that's fine too.

If you have gamepass this will be on it….so that's a nice easy way to check it out.

Oh, that looks good. Following.
