Atomic Heart goes deep (underwater) in upcoming expansion

Time for a little Enchantment Under the Sea, as Atomic Heart takes will take players on a submerged journey in 2025.

Rapturous

There be whales here! Well, a dolphin at least, as the wild sci-fi FPS that is Atomic Heart is almost ready to usher in its third expansion pack. That will come in the form of Enchantment Under the Sea (yes, that’s the name), which sends players into the briny depths for more fast, first-person action.

Aside from a new locale and continuation of the story, Enchantment Under the Sea will also see the arrival of new foes like the coral mutants, and the mysterious MOR-4Y. Season Pass owners can look forward to some new hardware to wield as well, with the electrically-powered hammer dubbed Thunderclap, and the KM-4 Kuzmich. That’d be a double-barreled shotgun that’ll sport a “customizable bullet spread”, according to the press release.

A pair of new glove abilities are on the way too, with Blaze and Whip. The former will deal out “red-hot fireballs and deal area-of-effect damage”, while the latter serves as a grappling hook. Might come in handy while P-3 is trying to stay alive in the deep.

“Enchantment Under the Sea” goes back to the spectacular combat gameplay that made Atomic Heart one of the highlights of 2023, as players continue the main storyline with the Twins’ consciousness at their side and new weapons in their arsenal.

Meet new and returning characters while diving into the mysteries of the underwater Neptune Research Center to find a way to save humanity from a dismal future. Players will also revisit familiar locations from Facility 3826 that have changed beyond recognition, like the flying city of Chelomey, now under the robots’ total control.

Focus Entertainment press release

Enchantment Under the Sea arrives to expand the storyline of Atomic Heart on January 28th, 2025. Its release will mark the third of four DLC packs expected for the title, with Annihilation Instinct and Trapped in Limbo already available.
