We have all seen our truthful participation in the battle arenas, but the combat arena in the form of a floating, rotating, essentially changing block? It’s up-to-date. This is called (what else?) AnkleAnd this is a huge shooter for many players from Atomic heart Mundfish developer.
From all ads of summer games 2025, Ankle I hit me thanks to the ambitious six -page project. To learn more, I recently sat for a remote video interview with Robert Bagratuni, the general director of Mundfish, accompanied by communication director Christina Omelchenko, who translated between Russian and English during our conversation.
To play This Concentrated around a specific shape, only one opening question can be: Why ankle? The answer is unexpected: “Why not a triangle, pyramid or bullet? We want to troll guys who believe that our land is a plane,” explained Bagratunia.
In addition to telling the intention of “Troll of Flat Earth”, there is also a more grave justification behind the project.
“Initially, with most things in the universe, if you think about a perfect shape, he is usually considered as a aspherical, such as stars, planets and so on,” said Bagratunia. “My ankle is a completely different being because it is illuminated from above through the sun, where it is very light in the middle of the day. On the lower surface of the ankle it is dark and on the sides of the ankle, there is a dusk zone.”
“This concept gives such a large variability of what you see, how the settings change and how the lighting changes,” added Bagratunia. “Plus, it’s really a game with your brain; like you perceive experience. You can stand on the side plate of the ankle and have a vertical horizon. It just gives such a different experience. “
As if stagnant navigation floating cube does not sound enough, Ankle It will consist of rotating aircraft that constantly move secular lands. Imagine that running and shooting the cubicle of Rubik, while some concealed power turns tiles – such a intricate project naturally involves several developmental challenges.
Bagratununi said that AnkleThe concept is a monumental technological task for his team: “The challenge for programmers is to create a system that allows thousands of facilities to move online at the same time, millions, millions, millions of facilities.”
But AnkleThe programming team came up with a intricate system that would deal with the problem. “We call it a division system that allows you to turn smoothly,” said Bagratuni. “This is our own technology, from which we have developed and we are very proud. It was a year and a half of hard technical work to ensure this experience.”
But just twist the planes. What is actually happening ON these planes?
As shown in AnkleA trailer revealing from the Summer Fest Games, the matrix-shaped world is visited by your other players, as well as unfriendly monstrosities in all shapes and sizes: a massive creature in the shape of cancer with claws, something that looks like a living tree with a bird stuck on his head and let’s hope that they are on our side-auval of humanoid work.
Although some of the details of the game remain a secret for now, Bagratuni said so Ankle It entails more than a fight and survival; RPG elements, such as the plot and character progression, will shape your adventure.
“Experience Ankle Certainly it will be based on history, not just raids, grinding and such things, “he said.” We want to make sure that there is a deep progress of the character and you can develop your character in different directions, creating a compilation of a character that is very adapted to how you want to experience Ankle. “

Embedded in the same universe as Atomic heartYou should expect the science fiction world full of anomalies and absurdities, with stunning technological progress and perhaps a suspicious laboratory or two. Based on the trailer, a bit aged Atomic heart Friends will probably appear – Hi, grandmother Zina!
Despite this sturdy connection: “It is not necessary or very important to play Atomic heart what to understand Ankle It is – explained Bagratuni. “Although of course, narrative, saying Ankle is a very critical part Atomic heartThe world and is very associated with his events. “
“I think the game Atomic heart It would be enriching if you want to delve into knowledge. But we want to make sure it’s basic to jump Ankle And don’t get frustrated without understanding what is happening. “
I tried to develop a little for more information on the compilation of class and class systems, but Bagratuni refused to develop. “Going forward with preparation for the premiere, we will reveal more and more,” he said. “The first announcement of the trailer was only a look at what we show you.”
But based on what I saw and heard so far-from his spin physics to addictive narrative traps- Ankle It seems to be a creative return of the MMO species. As Bagratuni said in our call, “crazy things are happening there.”
