*Atomic Heart*'s final DLC exceeds 8 hours! Tonight’s info drop is massive!

If tonight’s gaming news were an RPG party, then Atomic Heart would undoubtedly be the heavily armored frontliner standing at the very front. In a recent interview, Mundfish founder Robert Bagratuni confirmed that the final DLC, “Enchantment Under the Sea,” runs over 8 hours and will be the largest entry in the series. For players who have followed Sechenov, the robots, and the game’s wild technology all the way here, this feels less like ordinary add-on content and more like a final dungeon meant to settle every outstanding score.

This time, “Enchantment Under the Sea” will add new enemies, new bosses, and new cutscenes, while also wrapping up all remaining storylines and laying the groundwork for Mundfish’s future projects. My take is that the biggest risk with this kind of final DLC is focusing only on combat while neglecting the narrative, but the official emphasis on “wrapping up the story” suggests they at least understand that what players truly care about is where all the mysteries lead. If you only sampled the base game before, I’d suggest waiting for DLC reviews to drop before deciding whether to jump back in; if you’ve already finished the previous content, then this 8+ hour finale is basically essential.

On the hardware side, Sony has also revealed a patent with a distinctly cyber flavor. The filing shows that Sony is exploring a highly deformable PlayStation controller, one that players might manipulate through squeezing, twisting, pinching, and similar actions. The patent examples even mention that pulling a node could create a volcano in the game world, while twisting a node could trigger its eruption; with each node vibrating independently, it could also simulate sensations like gunfire or earthquakes. It may not enter mass production anytime soon, but the direction is clear: the controller is no longer just a “box of buttons,” but something more like a magical tool you can knead and reshape.

Another piece of news that set off longtime players’ nostalgia comes from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Leaker Tom Henderson posted a GIF from the original trailer last night with the caption “Who’s ready?”, and later added that a media event would be held today. Fellow insider NateTheHate also followed up, confirming that media outlets would get hands-on access today, though formal reviews would remain under embargo until next week. Given that Black Flag has long stood as one of the series’ high points for pirate fantasy, if this really does lead to a new reveal, Ubisoft is likely calling back all those old sailors who still miss the rhythm of sailing, boarding, and naval combat.

Over at Insomniac Games, it feels like someone has quietly triggered spider-sense. Ben Jordan, a facial model artist for the Marvel’s Spider-Man series, briefly posted and then deleted a facial capture photo with a caption that strongly hinted at insider knowledge; meanwhile, Insomniac has recently opened several art- and VFX-focused positions, including External Development Manager for Character Art, Principal VFX Artist, Senior Character Artist, and Senior Facial Character Technical Director. Combined with the article’s mention that Marvel’s Wolverine is slated for release this September, it’s possible the studio’s resources are gradually shifting toward its next major project. So it’s no surprise that players are speculating Spider-Man 3 has entered development, though for now, expectations should stay in the realm of “clues” rather than “official announcement.”

Finally, AI LIMIT has also released a pre-launch promotional short created by artist YOOKI. The game will launch first on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on April 17, followed by NS2 on April 24. The broader trend in recent news is clear: on one side, older IPs continue extending their lifespan through DLC, remakes, or sequel teases; on the other, hardware interaction and the visual packaging of new titles keep escalating. Players’ wallets are as limited as inventory slots, so my advice is simple: story-focused players should keep a close eye on reviews for the Atomic Heart DLC, nostalgia-driven players can wait for Black Flag embargoes to lift next week, and those eager to try something new can add AI LIMIT to their wishlist and watch the first wave of feedback.
