Mick Gordon, the composer for Mundfish’s upcoming FPS, Atomic Heart, has announced that he will be donating the fees her received for scoring the game to the Austrailian Red Cross’ Ukraine Crisis Appeal for use in their humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

The announcement is significant as it comes following the concern that developer Mundfish is allegedly supported by investors with hands in Russia’s war in Ukraine; or that funds from Atomic Heart’s sales may directly help the Russian government. While Mundfish is based in Cyprus, there have been allegations that it’s mainly .

Moreover, the studio allegedly has with Russian state-owned energy corporation Gazprom. While nothing has been directly proven, a lot of have been brought up, and Mundfish hasn’t exactly to set the record straight itself, stating th𓂃at it simply does “.”

While Mick Gordon has not specifically commented on these accusations, this move is at least one that may help offset some of the concerns. However, it’s not the same as if Mundfish itself donated proceeds to aid Ukraine. I would encourage you to do your own research into Mundfish’s connection with the war in Ukraine, reach your own conclusions, and decide for yourself if purchasing Atomic Heart is reasonably moral for you.

Mick Gordon has scored titles such as Wolfenstein: The New Order, Killer Instinct, and Doom Eternal. Atomic Heart is available February 21 for🃏 PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
