The announcement is significant as it comes following the concern that developer Mundfish is allegedly supported by investors with hands in Russia’s war in Ukraine; or that funds fromAtomic Heart’ssales may directly help the Russian government. While Mundfish is based in Cyprus, there have been allegations that it’s mainlyheadquartered in Moscow.
Moreover, the studio allegedly hasinvestors that have relationswith Russian state-owned energy corporation Gazprom. While nothing has been directly proven, a lot ofallegationshave been brought up, and Mundfish hasn’t exactlystepped into set the record straight itself, stating that it simply does “not comment on politics.”

While Mick Gordon has not specifically commented on these accusations, this move is at least one that may help offset some of the concerns. However, it’s not the same as if Mundfish itself donated proceeds to aid Ukraine. I would encourage you to do your own research into Mundfish’s connection with the war in Ukraine, reach your own conclusions, and decide for yourself if purchasingAtomic Heartis reasonably moral for you.
Mick Gordon has scored titles such asWolfenstein: The New Order, Killer Instinct,andDoom Eternal.Atomic Heartis available February 21 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
