Atomic Heart is gearing up for the epic conclusion to a long and elaborate story, with its Blood on Crystal expansion getting a new trailer and release date of April 16th. Spoilers follow if you haven’t finished the base game, so beware.
The expansion will follow the ending where CHAR-les betrays P-3 and escapes the scene. While the previous expansions followed the other endings, this one may finally provide some closure.
Annihilation Instinct presents the aftermath of CHAR-les’s (or Zakharov’s) escape, after P-3 decides to surreptitiously leave Facility 3826, with the former taking over Kolloctive 2.0 and a disaster that puts the latter on a collision course with his former mother-in-law, of all people.
Trapped in Limbo and Enchantment Under the Sea reunited P-3 with the consciousness of Blesna, his deceased wife. Now, he’s raring to go in pursuit of CHAR-les, his Polymer arm fully restored, and Blesna now in possession of one of the rings that allow her unprecedented access to the Kollective 2.0 network. Oh, and she’s in the body of one of the Twins now.
How the two use their new abilities against the Polymorphs, the results of CHAR-les’s experiments, remains to be seen, but if the new expansion is anything like the ones that came before, expect a hell of an adventure. The trailer’s below if you want to get a sense of what that might look like.
