If there’s one takeaway from this gameplay video, it is that fights in Atomic Heart may be very long. Each enemy appears to take many hits before it goes down. Of course, we don’t know which difficulty setting is used, nor do we know if the video is taken from a near-final build. While the video above may soon be taken down, there’s also an official new gameplay trailer shared for the Chinese public. You can check it out below.
We recently published a two-part exclusive interview with Mundfish founder and Atomic Heart game director Robert Bagratuni. The first centers on the game itself, while the second is focused on its technology. As a reminder, Atomic Heart launches on February 21st for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X, with Focus Home Interactive set to publish. The game will be available on day one to Game Pass subscribers. Welcome to a utopian world of wonders and perfection in which humans live in harmony with their loyal and fervent robots.
