As the release of sci-fi shooter Atomic Heart nears, numerous questions around the project remain – which its developer Mundfish seems disinclined to answer.
Concerns have been raised regarding the game’s heavily pro-Soviet themes, as well as the activities of both developer Mundfish and its investors.
Those concerns include, but are not limited to, the use of glorification of Russia in marketing and the apparent origins of Mundfish as a Russian entity, including the reported investment in Mundfish by Russian companies.
Atomic Heart has been in development since 2017. Inspired by the BioShock series, it’s a game that – according to the Mundfish website – explores “the utopia of an alternative world” that takes place in an alternative Soviet Union of 1955.
