Atomic Heart is one of the most anticipated games of the year. Unfortunately, our findings show that the premiere of the "Soviet BioShock" will most likely be postponed until next year. We were able to talk to a person closely related to the Mundfish studio, who was developing the production in question.
We managed to get in touch and talk to someone familiar with the situation at the Russian Mundfish studio, having access to first-hand information. We learned from the informant that work on Atomic Heart was suspended some time after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine for over a month, but at the moment the developers are again working on the long-awaited production. Regardless of whether, according to earlier rumors, Mundfish changed its headquarters, the informant unfortunately did not respond (this was our last question).
He mentioned, however, that the original premiere of Atomic Heart was planned for October - November. The mood at Mundfish is not to be the best due to the enormous sanctions imposed on Russia, which makes it difficult for developers to live and work at all. Our interlocutor also added that the decision makers in the studio would like to meet the premiere in 2022, but in his opinion it seems unrealistic and we should expect the Atomic Heart debut to be postponed to the 1st quarter of 2023 (January - March), unless the Russian team it will have to face further difficulties resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It cannot be denied that it was to be expected. Although the Atomic Heart delay is not 100% certain yet, because maybe the studio will somehow make its debut in 2022, it's better not to get high hopes and get ready for a slide right away. You are waiting for this production
