Focus and Mundfish have finally announced today the name and release date of the first DLC of Atomic Heart, so far the subject of short teaser trailers: the expansion will be called Annihilation Instinct and will arrive on August 2, placing itself as a direct continuation of the history of the game.

Here are the official details about the game and the trailer that reveals the DLC.

Continue the story in the Annihilation Instinct DLC and find out what happened to this dystopian world after the climax of Atomic Heart. Get ready to embark on a journey through the new Mendeleev complex and surrounding swamps and discover the truth about NORA as Major P-3 is brought back to Structure 3826. Survive fierce and changing new enemies and take them down using two new cunning weapons - one at a distance, the Secateur, and one for melee, the Klusha - and the new Techno-Stasis ability of your glove, which allows you to manipulate time itself.

Meet an enigmatic new character and others who return in surprising circumstances and immerse yourself in the madness of the AI to curb its instinct of annihilation.
