‘Atomic Heart’ Devs Play a Game With Release Date in New Trailer [Video]
If you thought Mundfish’s Dystopian Soviet-era shooter Atomic Heart was weird from the get-go, the developer isn’t done going in that direction. With the new trailer (courtesy of IGN), the developer has announced that the release date for the shooter is “#######ber 2022” for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Yep.
By process of elimination, that would put Atomic Heart being out between September and December. Admittedly, it’s a fun gimmick that keeps the anticipation high, and it does leave time for Mundfish to do some polish on the game if it needs it.
In addition to the trailer, IGN also had a brief Q&A with Mundfish, which you can check out above. Topics include the genesis of the project, as well as the team’s inspiration for the game (spoiler: it involves Soviet sci-fi).
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
