It looks like the release date for Atomic Heart has gotten leaked via source code. There was already a well-established rumor of the game’s release date, but the leak seems to have confirmed those rumors.
The release date was stated at a Steam storefront to be “this winter.” Meaning the community was able to pinpoint the year only recently. However, credible rumors surfaced about a day ago, and the release date has been allegedly verified as February 21, 2023, from various inside sources.
Recently, an insider discovered another piece that further established the said rumor. The rumor seems accurate as the upcoming trailer for Atomic Heart which is scheduled for release tomorrow, also hints date, as mentioned earlier. The trailer’s source code also reveals the same release date as the rumor. The source code shows the game’s exact launch date; it is improbable that it will be wrong, as it supports what the highly anticipated trailer should contain.
Atomic Heart is shaping up to be a crazy FPS experience. Developed by Mundfish, it is based on an alternate post-apocalyptic Soviet era where inexplicable anomalies plague the world. The game takes inspiration from famous FPS titles like BioShock, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Metro, and several others for its gameplay which looks very good. The premise of Atomic Heart is a unique take on the post-apocalyptic genre, combining familiar elements and the political setting that flourished in the Soviet era.
While the rumor of the game having a 21st February 2023 release date is very credible, it’s still unconfirmed. We’ll get more info from the game’s next trailer, which will be released tomorrow. At the time of writing, the trailer will go live 17 hours from now.
Atomic Heart will likely come out on February 21st, 2023, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
