Atomic Heart’s Third DLC Brings Mysterious New Character to Neptune Research Center

Mundfish has pulled back the curtain on their third DLC for Atomic Heart, “Enchantment Under the Sea,” revealing an intriguing new character named Nastya. The red-haired, glasses-wearing survivor appears ready to tackle the challenges of the game’s alternate history Russian wasteland.

The upcoming expansion, set to launch on January 28, 2025, marks a significant departure from the previous DLC’s psychedelic Limbo setting. Players will once again step into the boots of P-3, accompanied by returning character Granny (Zinaida Muravyova), as they explore the depths of the Neptune Research Center.

Combat receives fresh additions with P-3’s new glove replacing Charles, introducing two powerful abilities. The Blaze feature unleashes area-of-effect fireballs, while the Whip serves as both a grappling hook and weapon. Season pass holders will gain access to additional armaments, including the Thunderclap, an electrified hammer, and the KM-4 Kuzmich, a customizable double-barrel shotgun.

Neptune Research Center Introduces Underwater Threats and Familiar Locations

The aquatic setting brings new challenges in the form of coral mutants and a formidable boss enemy known as MOR-4Y. The expansion also revisits familiar territories, such as Chelomey, now transformed under robot control since the events of the main campaign.
