Sequel to the game I previously assessed featuring scantily-clad robots was announced during Summer Game Fest 2025 event.
Title: Atomic Heart 2 Hypes Up the Futuristic Action-Adventure Genre
Get ready to dive back into the mechanical mayhem! The sequel to the visually stunning Atomic Heart game, Atomic Heart 2, is official, and it's been teased during Summer Game Fest 2025. Prepare for another round of high-octane action-adventure gameplay set in an expansive, dystopian world that's not due to hit your screens until 2026.
A Bit of History:Atomic Heart, first released a while back, caught everyone's attention with its spectacle of a retro-futuristic dystopian world. Its captivating trailers showcased a universe brimming with intrigue, dark tones, and, let's not forget, some rather seductive robots. Though the hype didn't quite match its release, it was still a thrilling foray into the post-apocalypse.
Coming Back, but Bigger and Better:Just like the original, Atomic Heart 2 will be an action-adventure first-person shooter, but this time with a twist. It'll be developed using the upgraded Unreal Engine 5, ensuring the game will be visually stunning from the get-go.
The sequel follows the story's continuation, setting it on a global scale. We're shipping back to the apocalyptic world, where advanced robots and artificial intelligence once promised a utopia, but now stand on the precipice of society's implosion.
The tale unfolds amidst the deeper mysteries and hidden truths that the earlier game alluded to. So strap on your boots and dive into this post-apocalyptic world as a new cast of characters takes hold of the reins, with some old faces making guest appearances too.
Gameplay Enhancements:New systems have been implemented to enable dynamic and diverse combat, giving players the freedom to use an arsenal of weapons for inventive combat styles.
Brushing Up on the Past:In my very own Atomic Heart review, I declared, "Atomic Heart scores big with the art design and core gameplay loops but stumbles due to its massive array of game mechanics and clunky open-world segments. Inconsistent writing quality and tricky game design might drive some players bonkers, but Atomic Heart can still manage to be an exhilarating journey."
Having enjoyed my previous experience with Atomic Heart, I eagerly await the sequel and its potential rectification of the errors encountered in the first game. I'm excited to see if Atomic Heart 2 can live up to its potential—it's bound to scratch the itch left by games like Bioshock and Metro Exodus.
Platform Availability:No specific release date for Atomic Heart 2 has been set yet. That being said, it's presumed we've still got a considerable wait ahead of us before we can get our hands on it. Rest assured, the game will make its way to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 when it drops, and it may even be available on Xbox Game Pass on arrival.
A Bonus Announcement:As an extra tidbit, we also got news on The Cube, an enigmatic MMORPG shooter set within the Atomic Heart universe. This tantalizing game is equally shrouded in mystery, and you can check out the trailer above for a glimpse of things to come.
Stay tuned for more updates as Atomic Heart 2 edges closer to its release date. Get ready to dive back into a post-apocalyptic world filled with mech-madness and a whole lot of adventure!
