The Russian-Cypriot studio Mundfish has unveiled the second segment of its Atomic Heart soundtrack. DTF Portal shares the news about the release.
The album is titled Atomic Heart, Vol.2. Its cover shows the Vovchik robot seated at a two-layer synthesizer, hinting at the musical exploration inside. The collection features 32 compositions with a combined runtime of about 1 hour and 50 minutes, delivering a broad slice of the game’s atmospheric soundscape.
Among the composers contributing to this installment are Mick Gordon, Jeffrey Day, and Andrey Bugrov, who performs under the alias Boogrov. Their distinct voices contribute to a varied sonic texture, ranging from gritty industrial cues to more melodic, sorrowful themes that align with Atomic Heart’s surreal, retro-futuristic setting.
Atomic Heart, Vol.2 premiered on the night of June 2, 2023, and was released across multiple streaming services, including Yandex Music, VK Music, Spotify, Apple Music, and additional platforms. The staggered launch across these channels reflects a broad distribution strategy aimed at reaching fans in Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and international listeners who follow the game’s evolving musical universe.
Atomic Heart itself is a first-person shooter set in an alternate universe where the Soviet Union did not collapse but achieved unparalleled technological progress. The game materialized for players on February 21, 2023, across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, inviting audiences into a world where science fiction meets uncanny dread and retro aesthetics with modern gameplay polish.
A separate industry note, reported by a media outlet, indicated that the developers of STALKER 2 were urged not to watch or share leaked footage from the game, a reminder of the ongoing attention to security and early materials in the gaming community. This context highlights the broader environment in which Atomic Heart and its soundtrack are released, amid a landscape of notable anticipation and competitive secrecy within the sector.
