Mundfish and Focus Entertainment have revealed that the third DLC for ‘Atomic Heart,’ titled ‘Enchantment Under the Sea,’ is set to launch on January 28, 2025.
In this expansion, players will dive into the Neptune Research Center, a new underwater section of Facility 3826, where they’ll encounter novel experiments and foes, presenting formidable challenges. Moreover, well-known areas such as Chelomey, the flying city, have undergone drastic changes, now entirely dominated by robots.
Our journey continues with the consciousness of the Twins accompanying us. To face the new threats, two weapons are introduced: the Thunderclap, a hammer that increases damage with electrical current, and the KM-4 Kuzmich, a double-barrel shotgun effective against groups of enemies.
We also gain two glove abilities from the Twins. The Blaze ability allows us to unleash fireballs, causing area damage. The Whip ability functions as a grapple-hook, enabling us to pull ourselves toward enemies, inflict damage, evade danger, and reach previously inaccessible areas.
These new tools will be crucial for battling the aquatic adversaries in the DLC, like coral mutants and the powerful MOR-4Y.
‘Atomic Heart’ debuted on February 21, 2023, and has progressively enriched its world with new content. The initial expansion, ‘Annihilation Instinct,’ launched on August 2, 2023, with ‘Trapped in Limbo’ following on February 6, 2024. ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ marks the next chapter, offering new settings, weaponry, abilities, and foes to deepen the gameplay experience.
As we gear up to explore the Neptune Research Center’s depths, the upcoming challenges are both exciting and intimidating. Mastering the new weapons and abilities will be key to navigating the obstacles we’ll face. The evolving narrative and altered landscapes indicate that ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ is set to deliver a deep, captivating adventure.
As the release date nears, excitement builds for this underwater journey. The expansion promises to offer a novel view of the ‘Atomic Heart’ universe, mixing known aspects with new gameplay features. Preparing to navigate the flooded halls of the Neptune Research Center, we look forward to uncovering new secrets and facing fresh challenges.
