Atomic Heart isn’t set to release until next month, but developer Mundfish is already revealing details about the game’s DLC. In a new interview with WCCF Tech, game director Robert Bagratuni discussed some of the content that players can expect to see after launch. Four post-launch DLC packs will be released, and they will focus on expanding the world and narrative. Fans hoping for multiplayer are out of luck, as there are no current plans in that regard.

“The entire Atomic Heart experience will be single-player, focusing onthe story and player experience. No multiplayer add-ons are planned atthis time,” Bagratuni told WCCF Tech. “The DLCs are intended to greatly expand the player experiencewith new territories, quests, puzzles, enemies, as well as characterand world stories. We plan to significantly expand both the open-worldterritories, as well as new complexes and labs – where the player willlearn more about the Atomic Heart world and will need to complete newchallenges.”
While multiplayer is no longer part of the developer’s plan, it was at one stage of development. Atomic Heart was originally supposed to release in 2018, and has seen numerous delays. Bagratuni attributes those delays to lofty ambitions and changing technology. Over the years, Mundfish moved away from certain ideas and gameplay features, including multiplayer. While Bagratuni says those decisions were difficult to make, he believes that the team ended up making the right call. When Atomic Heart finally releases, players can finally judge for themselves!
