Gamers all around the world are fulfilling their wizarding fantasy through Hogwarts Legacy. This game, which was launched just a while ago, is already one of the most successful role-playing games ever released.

While fans enjoy this game themselves, there is another game ready to make its entry into the market. And that game is Atomic Heart. This sci-fi first-person shooter would be releasing within a week and it’s looking pretty good.

While the game already has people interested in checking it out, its marketing team is leaving no stone unturned to gather more and more interest in it. And in that attempt, they have gone and done something really cheeky!

The world of Atomic Heart is not built for Wizards and Magicians of Hogwarts Legacy!

Focus Entertainment, the publisher of Atomic Heart, recently launched a new live-action trailer for it. The trailer stars The Boys actor Jensen Ackles.

In the trailer, we see a little girl with a wizard hat and a magic wand trying to kill a bunch of villainous robots using magic. When she realizes that magic does not work, she is disappointed and breaks her wand in anger.

Enters Soldier Boy! Apologies. Enters Major Nechaev, carrying a modified killer melee weapon. He then goes on to thrash the robots with the melee weapon and the elemental glove, destroying everything that stood in the way.

He then turns, looks at the camera, and says “That’s how you do it, the atomic way.” The girl looks at him, smiles, and the trailer ends with a few snippets from the game itself.

Now, this trailer is obviously referencing the recently released blockbuster RPG Hogwarts Legacy. And we would not blame the marketing team of Atomic Heart to take this path, given the fact that Hogwarts Legacy is already super successful and any sort of association with that game can be a sure-shot way to success.

Are there any similarities between the games though?

Other than the reference in this trailer, there is no similarity between these two games. One of them is a very deep role-playing game, with numerous spells and magic. While the other is a fast-paced action first-person game, more in line with the Wolfenstein games.

The best part is that this game features the same music director as the Wolfenstein games too.
