Mundfish announced a new project called The CUBE today.
According to the folks behind it, this is a new IP, which takes the form of a shooter/RPG. However, it isn’t entirely original, given that it’s said to be set in the universe of Atomic Heart.
It’s also going to be multiplayer, at least in part, meaning it’s likely to be an MMORPG.
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.
“At Mundfish, we were the first in the industry to implement a technology that allows thousands of objects to move and rotate simultaneously across massive stretches of terrain — online and in real time. No other game has ever done this before.” shared Robert Bagratuni, Founder and CEO of Mundfish, and Game Director of The CUBE.
He continues, “This became possible thanks to our innovative proprietary split-rendering system, which redefines how motion is handled in interactive environments. The technology delivers maximum performance even under extreme load. In The CUBE, physics, ballistics, and gravity feel completely natural — but under the hood, it’s powered by rocket science. The system enables seamless transitions, precise object tracking, and synchronized multiplayer in a living, ever-evolving world. It’s a true technological breakthrough.”
