Added Annihilation Instinct DLC

Embark on a new, mind-bending journey with the Atomic Heart: Annihilation Instinct DLC and discover the truth about NORA’s story as Major P-3 is pulled back into Facility 3826. Meet an enigmatic Professor Lebedev to figure out how to suppress the AI’s insanity and curb its annihilation instinct.

Continue the story and go on exploring Atomic Heart’s twisted, dystopian world further as you visit the Mendeleev Complex and its surrounding swamps, a completely new area. Take on unhinged machines, shape-shifting new enemies and a brand-new boss. Unlock two new weapons: the Secateur – a ranged weapon with 2 firing modes – and the Klusha – a melee weapon that can slash and pierce! Finally, get the edge and survive by enhancing your polymeric glove with the new Technostasis ability, allowing you to manipulate time itself.
