It is the sequel to *[Atomic Heart](/source/Atomic_Heart)* and was announced during the [Summer Game Fest](/source/Summer_Game_Fest) in June 2025.[1] ## Gameplay *Atomic Heart 2* continues the alternate-history setting of its predecessor, where a retrofuturistic [Soviet-era](/source/Soviet-era) aesthetic blends with [dystopian](/source/Dystopian) [sci-fi](/source/Sci-fi) themes. The sequel expands the scope of the game's world, featuring events on a global scale, compared to the more isolated environments of *Atomic Heart*.[2] *Atomic Heart 2* is a first-person shooter with [role-playing](/source/Role-playing_video_game) mechanics. It will include deeper role-playing systems, such as skill upgrades and special abilities, alongside a wider variety of weapon customizations and combat strategies. The combat includes both ranged firearms and melee elements, with new robotic enemies and environmental hazards.[3] ## Story The sequel picks up after the events of the first game, with the player navigating a world on the brink of societal collapse. Players are tasked with confronting new threats across various locations and dealing with the consequences of earlier developments in the game's universe.[4] According to Mundfish, the narrative will explore more diverse geopolitical regions and involve more morally complex themes, including the ethics of artificial intelligence and control.[5] ## Development Plans for a sequel to *Atomic Heart* were in place as early as 2021, two years before its release.[6] At that time, developers at Mundfish had indicated their interest in expanding the franchise. In June 2023, the studio head confirmed that development on a sequel had begun.[7][8] *Atomic Heart 2* was formally announced on June 8, 2025, during the Summer Game Fest. Along with the sequel, Mundfish also revealed *The Cube*, a standalone multiplayer role-playing shooter set in the same universe.[9] ## Release The game is expected to launch on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.[1] ## Reception Initial coverage from media outlets such as IGN, PC Gamer, and GameSpot highlighted the game's ambitious scale and visual style. While some previews compared it to a blend of genres ranging from *BioShock* to open world role-playing games, others noted its blend of Soviet aesthetics and speculative fiction themes.[3] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-IGN_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-IGN_1-1) Valentine, Rebekah (June 7, 2025).
