The MOP team was happily bopping along to the Atomic Heart 2 trailer at Summer Game Fest and debating the proper use of Queen music when Mundfish via Geoff Keighley casually announced an MMO in the same universe. It’s called The Cube, and during the show, it was called an “MMORPG shooter,” though the PR actually scales that back to “multiplayer RPG shooter”
The hook is that there’s a mysterious rotating planet-scale Rubix cube floating in the sky (it has more than a few Destiny 2 vibes, honestly); the cube will affect the environments you’re playing in.
“Several years after the events of Atomic Heart, the world stands on the brink of a new threat. A mysterious giant levitating structure known as The Cube has become the epicenter of increasingly dangerous phenomena, and in order to save humanity, players must plunge deep into its secrets—and survive. On the surface, it’s a geometrically perfect object, and in truth it’s an anomalous, shifting place swarming with vicious enemies. But most terrifying of all is the equation hidden at the Cube’s core. Deciphering the equation can save humanity; failing to do so means extinction.”
No release window yet, but expect it on both PC and console. Wishlisting is up on Steam too!
