Atomic Heart – Trapped in Limbo Gameplay Trailer

Today publisher Focus Entertainment and studio Mundfish are excited to announce that Atomic Heart’s second DLC will release on Feb. 6, 2024, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. The “Trapped in Limbo” DLC – available as part of the Atomic Pass – will take players back to the strange and colorful world of Limbo to uncover new mysteries as they fight to find their way out. It comes complete with amazing enemies, weapons of unique appearance, and a host of exciting revelations. Mark your calendars and get an exciting first look at this new explosive chapter in today’s gameplay trailer!

In addition, Atomic Heart and the Atomic Pass are offering discounts up to 50% off on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam this week. Don’t miss your chance to grab it before the DLC releases!

To the depths of P-3’s mind

Atomic Heart’s “Trapped in Limbo” DLC picks the story up immediately after the end of the main game, this time continuing a different ending from the one that the “Annihilation Instinct” DLC followed. It introduces new sections of the twisted Limbo world bursting with fan-favorite challenges, but this time with a unique Limbo flavor! While diving into this wild new gameplay, players will be tasked with helping P-3 break through a series of dizzying obstacles, uncover the secrets of his past and the world of Limbo, and demolish unique-looking opponents with marvelous weapons in a combat extravaganza. In order to rise from the depths of Limbo to the top and free P-3’s mind from his demons, players will have to do everything they can to overcome the changed rules of the game. The “Trapped in Limbo” DLC holds the key to finding out the fate of Major P-3, and it is up to players to survive in this enigmatic world with inverted logic.

As they fight, run, jump and slide across the platforms, players will be collecting apples to unlock skills and weapons, as well as gold coins to unlock up to seven unique skins that can be equipped in the main campaign!

DAVE THE DIVER X DREDGE Official Trailer

In 2023, MINTROCKET’s Dave the Diver and Black Salt Games’ DREDGE sailed into the collective hearts of gamers all around the world with their seafaring adventures that are as exceptional as they are different and a surprise collaboration between the two was revealed at The Game Awards 2023. New fish types, new recipes, and a new NPC all from the world of DREDGE are to be added to Dave the Diver via the free Dave the Diver – Dredge Content Pack, which will be available December 15th for PC and Nintendo Switch™. Take advantage of the chance to get both games at a discounted price with the Dredging & Diving Bundle on Steam, also available on December 15th.

“It was pretty awesome to see great success for another studio inspired by the infinite possibilities of an ocean-faring adventure, especially one with fishing at the core of the experience much like our own,” says Game Director Jaeho Hwang of MINTROCKET. “Creating this crossover DLC is what our passionate fans in the community have been eager for, so combining our two distinct flavors in this DLC makes so much sense. We hope it’s full of fun experiences for all players.”

“We’ve been fans of MINTROCKET’s Dave the Diver since early access and like millions of others, have enjoyed hours exploring the Giant Blue Hole,” says the Black Salt Games team. “We were amazed to find our admiration was mutual when their team reached out to us after we launched DREDGE, our own contribution to the rising Rod-like genre. This collaboration marries two unique fishing experiences and showcases what’s great about the gaming spirit in our community; celebrating each other’s work and delivering a great time for our players.”
