If you’ve been craving another dive into the utopian world of wonders and perfection that is Atomic Heart, Mundfish has you covered. The third DLC, Enchantment Under the Sea, is coming on January 28, 2025, and it’s taking players back to Facility 3826, a setting that has changed beyond recognition.

Let’s get a first look at what Atomic Heart’s third DLC has to offer and why it’s a must-play for fans of this action-adventure first-person shooter with RPG elements set in the mad utopia of an alternate 1955.

Exploring the Depths: The Neptune Research Center and Beyond

The star of this DLC#3! is the new underwater Neptune Research Center. This sprawling, eerie location is a fresh take on the setting, expanding the Atomic Heart world while retaining its signature Soviet dystopian aesthetic. The teaser hints at thrilling gameplay mechanics, including swimming through polymer-filled corridors, a callback to earlier gameplay elements. Whether you’re battling the loyal and fervent robots or exploring for clues, this new environment is set to challenge even the most seasoned players.

Players will also revisit familiar locations from Facility 3826, like Chelomey, now under the robots’ total control. These areas are a reminder of the launch of the latest robot-control system that spiralled into chaos. With the world changed beyond recognition, this DLC weaves in the truth behind the rapid progress.

Arsenal Upgrades: Glove Abilities and New Weapons

What’s a DLC without new toys? Mundfish Studio has outdone itself with Enchantment Under the Sea, bringing new weapons and glove abilities to keep your combat as fresh as ever:

  • Thunderclap: A hammer supercharged with electricity, ideal for crushing foes and making rapid progress.
  • KM-4 Kuzmich: A devastating double-barrel shotgun that’s a game-changer for crowd control.
  • Blaze: A fiery glove ability that lets you hurl fireballs, causing area-of-effect carnage.
  • Whip: A versatile tool that works as a grapple hook, giving players access to previously unreachable areas while dealing damage and dodging threats.

These additions to the arsenal ensure players are ready to face the new enemies that populate this underwater utopia. With robots’ total control over Facility 3826 and the Neptune Research Center, these upgrades are essential for survival.

New Enemies and Major P-3’s Story

In Enchantment Under the Sea, players will encounter new enemies like the cora mutants and the MOR-4Y, a mechanical menace teased in the first look trailer. These challenges will test your strategic use of the new weapons and abilities.

As for the narrative, Atomic Heart’s third DLC promises to delve deeper into the fate of Major P-3, the enigmatic protagonist. Whether you’ll control P-3 directly or experience the story from another perspective remains to be seen. Either way, the main game’s themes of uncovering the truth behind a fallen utopia remain central to the plot.

A Look Back at Atomic Heart’s Evolution

Since its 2023 launch, Atomic Heart has been hailed as one of the best first-person shooters of its generation. The game’s mix of Bioshock-esque aesthetics and an alternate history narrative captivated players worldwide. The second DLC, Trapped in Limbo, explored surrealist landscapes and left players eager for the next chapter.

Now, with Enchantment Under the Sea coming on January 28, Atomic Heart is set to continue its legacy of innovative gameplay and storytelling. This third installment marks a significant step forward, offering both nostalgic nods to the base game and bold new directions for the series.
