Mundfish is a Russian studio, not Ukrainian, but the team had reportedly suspended work on the game immediately after the invasion began, at least in part because of Western sanctions against Russia had impacted moral at the the studio and made it 'difficult for developers to live and work.' Mundfish later denied that development of Atomic Heart had ever paused, but did not comment on whether the game was likely to be delayed. In June, Xbox Game Pass Poland ( Google translated, via Bloody Disgusting) reported that the game was likely to be delayed into 2023 because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This actually isn't the first time we've heard about a possible delay of Atomic Heart into 2023.

Nowhere in the announcement is the word 'delay' used, to be clear, but you don't make a change if there's nothing to change, right? The change, then, rather strongly suggests that Atomic Heart won't turn up until early 2023-or at least that a move into next year is a strong possibility. Find out why it's one of our most anticipated horror games after that, and then watch this action-packed combat trailer from earlier this summer.įor additional information about Atomic Heart, be sure to check out Mundfish's official website, where there's info about the game's different editions available for preorder and more.Those of us who live in northern climes will immediately recognize that a big chunk of 'this winter' is in fact Q4 2022. Check out this 2020 gameplay trailer for an early look at the game, and then watch this 2021 trailer for a look at the creepier side of Atomic Heart. While Atomic Heart is doing its own thing, it's hard not to compare it to the BioShock series given the whole alternate reality thing, the types of guns on display here, the enemies we'll be facing, and the hand-controlled powers.Ītomic Heart was revealed years ago, and there are plenty more trailers to watch if you're interested.

As you can see, Atomic Heart continues to look great in trailers and I can't wait to finally go hands-on with it in just four months, especially as a fan of BioShock.
