New ‘Atomic Heart’ Trailer Focuses on the Frenetic Combat [Video]

While it still doesn’t have a proper release date (and developer Mundfish denying that it’s been delayed), Atomic Heart sure looks good. Atomic Heart also hits good, according to the latest trailer for the upcoming dystopian Soviet shooter, which focuses on the game’s combat.

And of course, being that it’s Atomic Heart, there’s a helping of weird to go along with the combat. Set against a song by Alla Pugacheva, we have two female robots dancing with one another when one sprouts tendrils that turn into a horn (and subsequently impales the other), interspersed with footage of the protagonist using their powers to manipulate water and telekinesis (a la BioShock) in fighting robots, while bashing/cutting others with a variety of other weapons.

Set an alternate version of the 1950’s, the story of Atomic Heart takes place in a Soviet Union in which robotics and other advanced technologies were developed during World War II. However,  there’s a dark underbelly to it all. These same robots designed to help humans have rebelled against their creators. In addition, secret experiments have led to the emergence of terrifying mutants. You are Agent Major P-3 and it’s up to you to find out what is really lying behind this “utopian” dream.

Mundfish stated back in February that Atomic Heart would be arriving in “#######ber 2022” for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
