On top of that, Atomic Heart was engaged in a number of controversies not long after release. The game had some pretty interesting ideas, with it taking obvious influence from the BioShock series, but many felt its performance issues, rather lackluster writing, and a protagonist that was oftentimes difficult to like were what held it back for the most part. It is a bit of a shame that Atomic Heart didn't quite hit the mark for some. This new update will be pleasing for those who are fans of the aforementioned actors or have been hoping for additional language support. The new voiceover work also features Yuki Kaji and Ami Koshimizu, who fans will already know from their impressive resumes. The patch notes say the game now features 'some of the finest and best Japanese voice actors,' including Metal Gear Solid's Akio Otsuka and anime veteran Tomokazu Sugita, perhaps most famous for his role as Gintoki Sakata in Gintama. While a few bugs have been fixed, including one where it was possible to get stuck in the geometry, one of the most significant updates is the implementation of Japanese voice work.

Evidently, the team at Mundfish has a vested interest in keeping its FPS in good standing with the community by addressing some of the glitches and adding new things, and now the latest patch has been pushed out.

Since releasing in February, Atomic Heart has received a number of updates, with a recent one adding a new feature to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game. While many are waiting for the arrival of Dead Island 2, after it spent years in development, Mundfish's Soviet-inspired shooter offers enough thrills to keep people entertained, and despite the game's somewhat mixed reception, the studio is already planning a sequel. Atomic Heart fans who speak or understand Japanese will be pleased to know that update 1.5.0.0, which rolled out recently, now adds voiceover for this language and also implements a few bug fixes.
