Exciting Announcements at Summer Game Fest
During this year’s Summer Game Fest, developer Mundfish revealed two highly anticipated projects: Atomic Heart 2 and The CUBE. Fans of the original game can look forward to a new installment, while multiplayer RPG enthusiasts will be intrigued by the new universe expansion.
First Look at Atomic Heart 2
In a compelling new trailer, viewers got their first glimpse of Atomic Heart 2, which is currently in development for both PC and gaming consoles. Like its predecessor, the sequel is an action-adventure first-person shooter infused with RPG elements, set within a retro-futuristic universe. The game takes place in a society designed to be a utopia, where robots and AI systems are meant to serve humanity. However, things have spiraled out of control, with artificial intelligence turning rogue and society teetering on the brink of collapse.
The player’s role is to navigate this chaos and prevent the total destruction of humanity, continuing the series’ tradition of combining immersive storytelling with intense gameplay. Fans can expect a richly detailed world, complex characters, and a gripping storyline that builds on the first game’s success.
The CUBE: A New Adventure in the Same Universe
Alongside Atomic Heart 2, Mundfish announced The CUBE, a multiplayer RPG shooter set several years after the events of the original game. The story revolves around a mysterious, gigantic floating cube that has appeared suddenly in the world, bringing with it strange and disturbing phenomena. As players explore the cube, they uncover secrets about its true nature and the threat it poses to humanity.
Designed for both PC and console players, The CUBE promises an engaging cooperative experience, with players working together to unravel the mystery and confront the dangers that lie within.
Background and Reception of the Original Game
Atomic Heart was first released in 2023 to widespread acclaim, earning an 8/10 rating from IGN. The review praised the game as “a deeply ambitious, highly imaginative, and consistently impressive atompunk-inspired adventure,” comparing it favorably to classics like BioShock. Its unique blend of retrofuturism, engaging gameplay, and compelling narrative helped it stand out in the genre.
Since its launch, Atomic Heart has surpassed 10 million players worldwide and has received multiple DLC expansions. A final piece of downloadable content is still in development, promising to extend the game’s story and gameplay even further.
