I can't stop staring at Atomic Heart's skin in this trailer

Atomic Heart is an upcoming sci-fi RPG set in a warped version of the Soviet Union. Robots are running rampant at a strange facility, and it's up to you to find out what's cracking. Let me tell you what isn't cracking, though - the protagonist's skin. A new trailer for the game's mega-realistic photo mode shows off his flawless complexion. Oh yeah, and the robots look alright too.

There's a new trailer out for Atomic Heart, the fantastical FPS game that blends a Soviet-style retro-future with the exploration and combat of the Bioshock series. In it, we get our first look at the game's protagonist - he's a bearded fellow in overalls who seems to walk softly and carry a big stick.

The trailer is published on the Nvidia GeForce YouTube channel, which normally suggests a video highlighting specific hardware-enabled effects like DLSS and ray tracing. But this clip doesn't really do any of that - instead, we get a decent look at our hero, who's looking at himself in a mirror hanging on the wall of what appears to be a banquet area. Above, a massive marble sculpture of a ballerina hangs from the ceiling, and the upper terrace is patrolled by the barely conscious forms of workers whose bodies have apparently been inhabited by some plant-based zombie infection.

There's some brief footage of combat in what looks like a flashback section - it's all quite fast, but we get a look at a shotgun, as well as some kind of power that allows our hero to freeze an enemy by using a hand gesture. The music intensifies, and there's an imperious-sounding voiceover in Russian playing throughout.

Here are all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games so far

Ray tracing is the hot new graphics tech of 2021, and Nvidia have just announced another fresh crop of ray tracing and DLSS games that are coming to PC later this year. To help you keep track of them all, I’ve created this list of all the confirmed ray tracing games you can play on PC right now, as well which ones will be getting ray tracing support in the future. And because ray tracing tends to go hand in hand with Nvidia’s performance-boosting DLSS tech these days, I’ve also listed all the current and upcoming games that support DLSS as well.
