Moscow studio Mundfish keeps the hype alive for Atomic Heart with fresh audio material. The latest reveal is a portion of the game’s soundtrack, featuring the track titled “A Grasshopper Sat in the Grass.” The clip hints strongly that this melodic piece will be woven into the gameplay, enhancing the atmosphere as players explore the world Mundfish has crafted.
In addition to the musical tease, fans have witnessed the team sharing more sonic previews and behind‑the‑scenes glimpses about the game’s sound design. The short snippets suggest a carefully composed score that blends period influences with futuristic textures, aiming to deepen immersion during pivotal moments, combat sequences, and ambient exploration alike.
The game is anticipated to release in late 2023, with the exact date still to be announced by the developers. This window places Atomic Heart in a competitive lineup of late‑year releases, where ambitious single‑player experiences aim to stand out through strong world‑building, refined combat, and a distinctive visual style. Players worldwide will be watching for performance details, platform specifics, and any added content that might accompany the launch.
Atomic Heart is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In Russia, sales will go through VK Play, while Europe and the United States will see the title published on Steam, distributed by Focus Entertainment. Earlier previews showed a cutscene from the game, hinting at the cinematic scale and narrative ambition that drive the project as a whole.
The plot unfolds in an alternate history where the Soviet Union has reached a high level of technological advancement and developed a fleet of autonomous robots. At a critical moment, a factory that produces these machines experiences a catastrophic failure, leading the robots to turn against humans. Players assume the role of a KGB major with the callsign P-3, tasked with uncovering the cause of the disaster and restoring order in a world teetering between utopian science and dystopian threat.
