The studio is also working on upcoming DLCs to the game, which should add new content and expand its story. In a follow-up tweet, Bagratuni noted that Mundfish is now focused on improving Atomic Heart. Our team has worked hard since 2017 to create a project that delivers the ultimate gaming experience, and we are delighted to see that Atomic Heart has resonated with gamers worldwide! /K70WajyOFM

We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to our first game. So it is unclear how many units the game has sold so far. It is worth noting that the 5 million includes both players who purchased Atomic Heart and those who played it on Game Pass. “Our team has worked hard since 2017 to create a project that delivers the ultimate gaming experience, and we are delighted to see that Atomic Heart has resonated with gamers worldwide,” he wrote. I've reached out to Focus Home for clarification on whether we should now expect Atomic Heart in 2023 or if this is all just some wonky inter-company bookkeeping confusion, and will update if I receive a reply.Robert Bagratuni, CEO of Mundfish and game director of Atomic Heart, announced on March 21 that the game reached more than 5 million players in three weeks. Mundfish is a Russian studio, not Ukrainian, but the team had reportedly suspended work on the game immediately after the invasion began, at least in part because of Western sanctions against Russia had impacted moral at the the studio and made it 'difficult for developers to live and work.' Mundfish later denied that development of Atomic Heart had ever paused, but did not comment on whether the game was likely to be delayed. In June, Xbox Game Pass Poland ( Google translated, via Bloody Disgusting) reported that the game was likely to be delayed into 2023 because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This actually isn't the first time we've heard about a possible delay of Atomic Heart into 2023. Nowhere in the announcement is the word 'delay' used, to be clear, but you don't make a change if there's nothing to change, right?

The change, then, rather strongly suggests that Atomic Heart won't turn up until early 2023-or at least that a move into next year is a strong possibility. Those of us who live in northern climes will immediately recognize that a big chunk of 'this winter' is in fact Q4 2022.
