#ATOMIC HEART PC#

With this handy bit of kit, you will be able to enhance the combat abilities of your weapons, belch ice from your palm, and suspend objects and enemies in mid-air. Melee weapons and firearms are to be expected, though tendrils from a futuristic gauntlet capable of manipulating matter are a bit less so. As far as how we can defend ourselves, there are a few confirmed methods at our disposal. With plenty more in the trailers if you’re interested. Baba, a lady trapped in goo, and a swift mass of blood and tendons are only a few such beasties. If the trailers are anything to go by, Atomic Heart is packed with unique, if a bit skin-crawling, enemies to contend with. With mountains, lakes, plains, tundra, and more, it seems like we’ll have an awful lot to get our teeth sunk into. The facility itself will be spread across an open-world map, with a variety of different environments teeming with whatever twisted creatures Mundfish have cooked up for us. With exploration playing an important role in gameplay. Your foray into Facility 3826 will be open-ended. Of course, there will be plenty of bloodthirsty robots and eldritch monstrosities to fight along the way. Sent to what remains of Facility 3826, you will be tasked with investigating the cause of the facility’s silence and preventing sensitive information from escaping into the wider world. This is where agent P-3, the presumed player character, comes in. Forming a hivemind known as the “Kollektiv”, the machines go forth and slaughter their former masters. At least until the point said robots stage a revolt against humans, perhaps dissatisfied with their position as glorified housemaids. Though whether this will act as a backdrop or an integral part of the story is up in the air. It would appear that the ideological titans of Communism and Western imperialism still butt heads in this timeline. Though this time with a distinct shade of red. Robots, A.I, the Internet, and more have all been invented in this re-imagined USSR. One where instead of collapsing, it experiences a technological renaissance. Robots, the Internet, and holograms have all been invented as part of a technological revolution. All of these developments are engulfed in the atmosphere of communism, confrontation with Western imperialism, and all of the other political and social issues of the time.The story takes place in an alternate universe Soviet Union.

So far it seems like the game is inspired by titles like Metro, BioShock, Nier: Automata and Stalker in terms of art and gameplay.Īlso, the company has not yet announced the release date, but it is confirmed that Atomic Heart is going to come to Game Pass on Xbox, PC along with on the cloud when it launches. The Atomic Heart website stated that a beta version would be available before the end of 2019, but the Steam page later changed to 'TBA.' According to the developers, the scenario is similar to an episode of Black Mirror set in a warped version of the Soviet Union between the 1930s and 1960s.

Why are there so many strange killer robots here? why are there old grannys with a ladle? Everything about this trailer was strange and nobody knows the answers to such questions yet. A lot of the information in this trailer is not adequately explained. Mundfish previously worked on a VR game called Soviet Lunapark VR, and it looks like that project could have been merged with this new title, which features strange characters and a convoluted tale.
