Atomic Heart Surpasses 10 Million Players as Mundfish Launches Powerhouse to Support Bold New Games

Atomic Heart was well-received by players and critics. It’s been praised as an impressive first effort from Mundfish, which manages to borrow from the likes of BioShock to create an entertaining first-person shooter. The game runs well and looks gorgeous, but some reviewers felt the game’s main narrative and side quests didn’t go deep enough.

The game has been supplemented by three premium downloadable content (DLC) packs: Annihilation Instinct, Trapped in Limbo, and Enchantment Under the Sea. There is also a fourth and final DLC in development, but no release date has been set. Aside from marking the player milestone, Mundfish also announced a new concept known as Mundfish Powerhouse. This boutique label is designed specifically to enable other developers to bring their new and exciting games to market.

Robert Bagratuni from Mundfish explained that many studios and investors have approached them for support, prompting the launch of Powerhouse. This move reflects Mundfish’s commitment to fostering innovation and helping shape the future of gaming. The label will place an emphasis on collaborating with projects that have real potential to create a high impact on the industry. Instead of betting on a few indie pop hits, Powerhouse wants to foster high-risk, ambitious games that can raise the bar for quality, as well as creativity.
