The story of Atomic Heart takes place in an alternative "what if" universe version of the 1950s, where the USSR developed highly advanced technology powered by a new resource known as "Polymer" to become the world's leading global superpower. However, the top-secret research facility where the USSR developed "Polymer," No. 3826, suddenly went dark after it received reports of the facility's robot assistants suddenly malfunctioning and killing off the scientists.
In response to this disaster, the USSR sends in Sergey Nechaev, a cybernetically enhanced KGB agent to investigate No. 3826, destroy the rampant robots and discover the cause of this incident. However, Sergey's mission will be not a cake walk as he will have to contend with not only the killer robots, but also psychotic mutants and the dark history of No. 3826's experiments. To survive, he will need to grab whatever firearms he can find and upgrade his cybernetic implants to gain superhuman abilities.

Atomic Heart is set to launch for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC in late 2022, and it will release day one on Xbox Game Pass.
