Atomic Heart DLC 3 Releases Jan. 28

Key Takeaways

• Atomic Heart’s DLC 3 “Enchantment Under the Sea” continues the main story at Facility 3826 underwater
• New weapons and abilities are introduced in DLC 3, including Thunderclap and KM-4 Kuzmich
• Mundfish previously released “Annihilation Instinct” and “Trapped in Limbo,” with more DLC planned

Developer Mundfish is continuing Atomic Heart’s story with yet another expansion. Titled “Enchantment Under the Sea,” the third DLC drop will be released on January 28, 2025, on all platforms.

In Atomic Heart DLC 3, players will leave Limbo behind as Mundfish takes them back to Facility 3826 to explore a new underwater Neptune Research Center. A new gameplay trailer gives us a sneak peek at what to expect.

Atomic Heart DLC 3 Will Not Only Continue The Story But Bring New Weapons And Abilities

Atomic Heart’s Enchantment Under the Sea expansion will continue the main storyline with the Twins’ consciousness at their side. Players will meet new and returning characters while exploring the underwater Neptune Research Center to find a way to save humanity from a bleak and dismal future.

Familiar locations in Facility 3826 will also be featured, but expect changes to these. One example is the flying city of Chelomey, which is now under the robots’ control in the DLC.

Aside from the new storyline, players will also be getting new weapons and abilities as well.

Atomic Hearts DLC 3 New Weapons and Abilities

• Thunderclap – a powerful hammer that amps up damage with electrical current
• KM-4 Kuzmich – a crowd-clearing double-barrel shotgun with customizable bullet spread
• Blaze – a burning polymer skill letting players drop red-hot fireballs and deal area-of-effect damage
• Whip – a grapple-hook tool allowing P-3 to pull himself towards enemies, deal damage, dodge away from danger, and access previously unreachable areas.

When it comes to new enemies, Mundfish has new “cora mutants” to deal with, as well as the MOR-4Y, which was shown in a teaser last month.

Enchantment Under the Sea is the third DLC drop for Atomic Heart. Mundfish previously released “Annihilation Instinct” and “Trapped in Limbo” for Atomic Pass owners. One more DLC is planned, though details on that have yet to be revealed.

Atomic Heart was released on last-gen, current-gen consoles and PCs in February 2023, and was a surprise hit from then-unknown studio Mundfish. Our review of it was quite glowing, as it mentioned, “This is a game that’s been through over half a decade of development hell, and come out the other side as one of the best first-person shooters this generation.”

Early last year, there was chatter that Mundfish was already planning Atomic Heart 2, but no formal announcement about it has been made yet.
