During Summer Game Fest Mundfish announced Atomic Heart 2. We talked with CEO Robert Bagratuni about the new FPS game.
I like to think a lot when I’m in the shower. Some of my best writing ideas come to me there in the morning. I ask myself questions and try to find answers. Since I studied history and war I often think about what could have happened in the past if things were different. The game Atomic Heart asked one of those questions: What if the Soviet Union stayed strong and ruled the world? The answer is lots of angry robots furry creatures and a very strange vending machine. Now Atomic Heart 2 is coming soon and will explore new questions.
Atomic Heart 2 is like the first game: robots have turned against people and you need to stop them. The story details are not clear yet but the new game will happen all over the world. It will have more role-playing parts and show more of its game world.
The events in Atomic Heart are not only affecting the Soviet Union but also the whole world. This is what we will learn about says Robert Bagratuni the game director of Atomic Heart through a translator.
The location will be very big. We are working with a design company to create a large futuristic city for Atomic Heart. This company has worked on projects in the United Arab Emirates and for royal families who don’t have many limits. Because of this the city in Atomic Heart 2 will be a smart and believable future city.
Mundfish says Atomic Heart 2 will be bigger and more open. I wonder if it will be more like an open-world game. This is interesting because some people didn’t like how the first game suddenly changed from small linear missions to a big open sandbox.
He said We learned a lot from Atomic Heart. In the first game there was a great city but players could only visit it once. After the game came out we wished we had made a place where players could come back and explore slowly whenever they wanted.
In Atomic Heart 2 the city will be a key part of the game. Players can always return there to explore get quests and then go do other activities. We want the city to feel like a cool retro-future place showing amazing science and technology. This is very important to us.
The most important question is about sexy robots. Mundfish knows people like the robot twins a lot. They shared wallpapers of them and a long video showing their poses. In 2023 the twins got so popular that Atomic Heart became the fifth most searched game on Pornhub. Also there is NORA a vending machine robot that tries to have a relationship with you.
I asked Bagratuni if there will be more sexy robots and if we will see more of Trapped In Limbo’s colorful trippy fur people and candyland style. He joked That’s what I want When we reached number five on Pornhub I was surprised that number one was Pokemon Go. That’s crazy I hope next time we get number one. So yes more horny robots.
He says the fun and weird style of the first game will stay in the new one. They like trying new ideas and mixing different styles and game types. The new game will have more of these experiments but it will still look like the original Atomic Heart.
Atomic Heart 2 doesn’t have a release date yet. But Mundfish announced a multiplayer spin-off called The Cube which is a new take on the Atomic Universe. If you’re interested you can read our interview about it.
