Mundfish, the Russian studio known for Atomic Heart, has released a teaser for the first DLC heading to the game’s Soviet‑styled battleground. A YouTube clip introduces a new adversary unit named BUS‑A, described as more than just a decorative nod—an agile, real threat that shifts the balance on the battlefield. The video description confirms BUS‑A as a fresh enemy faction arriving with DLC 1, and players are encouraged to stay vigilant as the summer may bring encounters with these units on the company’s prize list.
The short footage shows BUS‑A units assembling into organized formations that resemble a robotic caterpillar, then revealing a towering humanoid foe. The sequence is set to a snippet of the Soviet song Today is a Holiday for Girls, performed by Maya Kristalinskaya. A golden Karl Marx statue appears as several BUS‑A robots march past, creating a memorable visual moment in the teaser.
Alongside the DLC reveal, Mundfish announced a new patch that adds a photo mode to the core game. Players can capture screenshots at any moment, adjust camera angles, and share images across social networks. The tool provides flexible controls and framing options to highlight moments of combat, exploration, and narrative beats with enhanced presentation during in‑game sequences.
DLC 1 for Atomic Heart is planned for a summer release, though an exact date has not been disclosed. While no formal roadmap has been published, fans can expect a substantial content package that expands the game’s systems and visuals, broadening the story and gameplay variety.
In early June, Mundfish founder and lead developer Robert Bagratuni spoke on a television program with comedian Garik Kharlamov. During that interview, Bagratuni confirmed the long‑talked‑about project Atomic Heart 2 and hinted at more role‑playing game elements in the sequel. The remarks signal a plan to extend the series with deeper character progression and choice‑driven moments, reinforcing Mundfish’s intent to evolve the Atomic Heart universe for players across North America and the broader CIS region.
