If you\u2019ve seen the game\u2019s barmy trailer, that question may well be on your mind.<\/p>\n<p>If you remember, a while back there was a VR game in the works called Soviet Lunapark that never came to fruition. Well, that game was indeed abandoned, but Russian studio Mundfish wasted no time in getting to work on a new game.<\/p>\n<p>That game is called Atomic Heart, an FPS title that looks like it will put up quite the challenge to even the most seasoned gamer with a focus on melee combat and very little to be found in the way of ammo as you make your way through the game.<\/p>\n<p>But when is Atomic Heart set to be released, and what do we know about the game so far? Read on for the answers to those questions and more!<\/p> <h2><strong>When is the Atomic Heart <\/strong><strong>release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As of the time of writing, there is <strong>still no release dat<\/strong>e locked in for Atomic Heart that we know of.<\/p>\n<p>The latest rumours do still point to Q4 2022 though so it remains likely that we will get to play it before the year comes to a close.<\/p>\n<p>We will be sure to keep you updated.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What platforms can I get Atomic Heart<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>on?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Atomic Heart is gearing up for a release on multiple platforms. Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S are all set to be home for it \u2013 sorry Nintendo Switch players, but maybe a port will come along in the future.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can I pre-order Atomic Heart<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not yet! With no release date in place, pre-orders are yet to show up but as soon as they do we will let you know right here \u2013 same too with that release date.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Atomic Heart gameplay<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Atomic Heart looks to be a fast and frantic first-person shooter with an action role-playing element included too. Weapons appear to all be of the improvised variety and it looks as though you will find them as you go \u2013 there is just as much focus on melee weapons here as there are guns and other types of firepower.<\/p>\n<p>And another reason for the melee-heavy combat is that while ammo can be found in the game, it does not come along often and there will be many times you will be left bullet-less if you don\u2019t use whatever you do find carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Picking up scraps as you go is a must as crafting is a feature in the game and weapons can be made that way \u2013 weapons can be upgraded as the game goes on too.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Atomic Heart story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As for the story, here is the official synopsis: \u201cAtomic Heart takes place in the Soviet Union in an alternative reality sometime in 1955 where technology like the internet, holograms and robots have already been invented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main protagonist is a mentally-unstable KGB special agent called P-3, who is sent by the government to investigate a manufacturing facility that has fallen silent, only to find out that the machines have gone rogue and bioengineering strange experiments.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Atomic Heart trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Boy oh boy, have we got a treat for you. There is an incredible Atomic Heart trailer doing the rounds, and it gives you a good look at the type of deranged gameplay you will be experiencing. While we wait for the Atomic Heart release date to be confirmed, feast your eyes on this!<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Atomic\" heart=\"\" official=\"\" trailer=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_tEgeZrOOHM?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p><strong>Follow <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
