‘Atomic Heart' Hits 10 Million Players, Dev Celebrates With New Label
'Atomic Heart' has been played by 10 million players worldwide. Soviet-styled action FPS Atomic Heart has officially crossed the 10 million player threshold. To mark the milestone, its creators at Mundfish has a huge announcement to make — one that aims to empower developers and investors alike. Atomic Heart has maintained consistently reasonable numbers for a single-player game, with extra incentives for new and returning gamers through three DLCs: Annihilation Instinct, Trapped in Limbo, and Enchantment Under the Sea. Robert Bagratuni, CEO and founder of Mundfish, who was also the game director for Atomic Heart, said: 'What started as a dream has become a reality beyond anything we imagined. We're incredibly grateful to our players for their passion and support — it's their enthusiasm that brought Atomic Heart to life.' Now, the studio is launching Mundfish Powerhouse, a new creative label that hopes to give developers and investors 'the resources, expertise, and support they need to bring their first projects to life.' The initiative will bring Mundfish into the development process from the start, with a particular focus on optimization, technology, and gameplay mechanics. The Mundfish team.

'Powerhouse will only partner with projects where we see great potential to make noise, not just a handful of indie hits, but big and bold games that can set a new standard.' Powerhouse is already working on new projects; meanwhile, Mundfish is working on the fourth and final unnamed DLC for Atomic Heart as a last hoorah for its most successful game yet. I reviewed Atomic Heart before it launched. It was easily the most excited I'd been for an action FPS in years, because I love alternative histories like The Man in the High Castle, Making History, and The Eyre Affair, so the promise of a high-concept, retro-futuristic world and alternative history — where the Soviet Union becomes a dystopian 'paradise' by the mid-1950s — was irresistible. Within the first hour, you learn that the Powers That Be are about to potentially enslave the populace with the launch of mass neural network Kollektiv 2.0. All boxes ticked. It helped that Atomic Heart was visually stunning in nearly every department, setting a high bar early on. Look at it, though. Despite its incredible art direction and ideas, Atomic Heart was far from flawless. Its unrefined mechanics, weird UI, awkward controls, and unpredictable combat took the shine off its biggest and best ideas. Despite being ostensibly open-world, it didn't give you much incentive to explore. On top of that, the story's pacing, combined with one of the least likable protagonists of the year, made the game feel a bit empty at some of its most crucial points. Still, two years on, I think about Atomic Heart weekly. Like Wipeout 2097, Control, and Rollerdrome, it has a je ne sais quoi cool quality that's so rare in gaming. Even though I still stand by my initial take, I recommend every FPS fan try it, as Mundfish has added plenty of post-launch refinements to iron things out. Maybe wait until it's on sale, though.

Pepsi Confirms Limited-Edition Releases, 'Powerhouse' New Partnership
PepsiCo fans, get ready, some limited-edition product launches are apparently heading your way, all thanks to a new partnership the food and beverage giant entered with Formula 1. On Tuesday–a little over a week after PepsiCo announced it had officially acquired cult-favorite soda brand Poppi–the company revealed that 2025 is the start of "a multi-year commitment" between PepsiCo and Formula 1. The agreement, it says, "unites the world's fastest growing sport" with three of PepsiCo's "powerhouse" brands: Sting Energy, Gatorade, and Doritos. According to a press release, the partnership will bring the three Pepsi-owned brands to life in a new way through limited-edition co-branded products and immersive experiences set up in Formula 1 Fan Zones. "This landmark partnership with Formula 1 represents a perfect fusion of two global powerhouses that share a passion for creating extraordinary fan experiences," Eugene Willemsen, CEO of international beverages at PepsiCo, said in a statement. "Formula 1's unmatched global platform and tremendous growth trajectory align perfectly with our ambitions to accelerate our brands–particularly Sting Energy–on the world stage," Willemsen added, "Together, we'll deliver bold, innovative experiences that connect with drivers and fans at race venues and well beyond, while also supporting Formula 1's continued expansion to new audiences worldwide in markets where PepsiCo and Sting have a strong presence." In addition to branded experiences found in the F1 Fan Zones, eventgoers can expect to see branded signage and promotional engagements at racing events, online and potentially even in-store, in the near future. As for exactly what the new partnership means, Sting Energy is now the official energy drink of Formula 1, while Gatorade is the official sports drink. Doritos has also been named the official savory snack of the league. "Today is a moment to celebrate the partnership between two iconic and historic global brands — a sparkling union that will bring together tradition and innovation, generating excitement, entertainment, and unforgettable experiences for our fans and customers around the world," added Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali. "With a long-standing history of creativity and an ability to celebrate the fun and special moments in life, PepsiCo is the ideal partner with whom to share unique moments along our journey," Domenicali concluded. Should PepsiCo and the F1 partnership race from the track to grocery stores nationwide, Parade will be the first to let you know as soon as it crosses the finish line.

Belleville didn't always have a lake, but it is a central feature of the town now
There's no shortage of unique and inviting places to live around metro Detroit. To highlight them, the Detroit Free Press is profiling neighborhoods in our state and region to offer some insight into what makes them stand out. This week, we're exploring Belleville in Wayne County, a small city that blends lakeside beauty with small-town charm along the shores of Belleville Lake. Appeal today: Belleville sits along the scenic shore of Belleville Lake, Wayne County's largest inland lake, which spans 6 miles and covers 1,200 acres. The city has about 1½ miles of picturesque lake frontage, providing residents with opportunities for boating, kayaking, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. Belleville's pedestrian-friendly downtown is another highlight of the community. Downtown streets are lined with decorative streetlights and brick paving. Belleville is part of the Belleville Area, which includes Van Buren and Sumpter townships. Local facts: Belleville is 2.2 square miles with a population of 4,008. Originally established as a village in 1905, it officially became a city in 1946. Belleville Lake was not there initially. It was created in 1925 when the French Landing Dam and Powerhouse were constructed on the Huron River in neighboring Van Buren Township. The project, led by Eastern Michigan Edison Company, which became the Detroit Edison Company, was designed to generate more electrical power in the region. The city is less than a mile from Interstate 94 and roughly 3½ miles from I-275, putting both Ann Arbor and Detroit within a 30-minute drive. Detroit Metro Airport is about a 10-minute drive. For more information, go to the city's website. (US Census) Neighborhoods: Belleville's housing landscape is diverse, from Victorian-era styles and mid-century ranches and bungalows to modern subdivisions and lakefront properties. There are also condos and apartments in Belleville. In the past year, single-family home sales ranged from $80,000 to $480,000, according to Therese Antonelli of Moving The Mitten Real Estate Group in Belleville. Parks and recreation: The city is home to four parks that offer such things as playground equipment, walking trails, basketball and volleyball courts, an inline skating-hockey court and ponds. New pickleball courts are under construction at Village Park, according to city officials. Water sports are available on Belleville Lake. Two community events offering fun for residents and visitors include Lake Fest, featuring live music, lakefront activities, a kid zone, and more, scheduled for June 28-29; and Winter Fest, held the first full weekend in December each year.

A $162,700 (median price) house with a taxable value of $81,350 would have property taxes of $3,685. Shopping and dining: Shopping and dining are available downtown and in neighboring Van Buren Township, which has strip malls with large stores and additional restaurants. Industries and employers: In the city proper, most employers are small and/or locally owned, according to city officials. Public safety: Belleville police reported eight burglaries, three vehicle thefts, six cases of criminal sexual conduct, zero robberies and no homicides in 2024. Public transportation: Wheels for Independence, 734-697-3733. More: Rochester neighborhood snapshot: Victorian-era and Craftsman homes coexist with condos Community insight: Therese Antonelli, a longtime resident and owner and broker of Moving The Mitten Real Estate Group, describes Belleville as a 'hidden gem.' "We're downtown on a lake. How many towns can say that?' Antonelli said that she is often seen cruising around town in her golf cart with her goldendoodle, Luckey. From live music to markets and festivals, 'there's something to enjoy every night of the week,' Antonelli said. Highlights include the Monday night car shows on Main Street to the farmers market, and Thursday night lakeside music sponsored by the Belleville Area Council of the Arts. 'You can enjoy music from land or water by boat,' she says. Antonelli said she is especially fond of supporting local businesses. 'I shop at the shops and boutiques such as BB's Belleville Boutique, Twisted Willow, Garden Fantasy on Main, and Crafted Modern Handmade! The best pizza is Rusted Crow on the Lake, best smash burger at Baitshop Bar, corned beef galore at Egan's Pub, and Johnny's on the Lake. She added: 'Sometimes, I pinch myself because I can't believe how lucky I am to call this little quaint town home.'

Family matters
The third and final season of the Netflix animated series Blood of Zeus is out. Set in mythical ancient Greece, the series revolves around Heron (voiced by Derek Phillips), the son of Zeus (voiced by Jason O'Mara), who tries to save Olympus and Earth from a demonic army after discovering his true heritage. 'Greek mythology is just one big family soap opera,' Charley Parlapanides, who created the series with his brother Vlas Parlapanides, said in an interview. 'We grew up in a very big, tight-knit Greek family. So I think that was always, even subliminally, part of the draw for us making this show. It's about families and it all just meshed,' he added. First premiered in 2020, the series garnered a positive feedback and critical acclaim for having a fresh take on Greek mythology. It was praised for its imagery and voice acting and the two seasons received a 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes. 'We come from the theatre and the live-action space, so we wanted the story to have emotional truth,' Vlas explained. 'We wanted to take that authenticity that you normally find in live-action, feature dramas and bring that to the animated space. 'Some people who watch this show don't even realise it, but Powerhouse (the animation studio behind the series) and our compositors would manipulate the lighting and colour of the eyes to show expression. 'Every animated project is on a budget, and we all use cheats to help sell what we're trying to do. The eyes were a big part of that,' he added.
