Denuvo Falls Again: Atomic Heart with All DLC Cracked Just Three Days After Final Expansion

On April 16, the final expansion for Atomic Heart — Blood on Crystal was released, concluding the game’s story. Just three days later, a cracker known as DenuvOwO bypassed Denuvo protection.

This isn’t the first high-profile success for DenuvOwO in April — just days earlier, the same individual cracked the newly released Pragmata right before its launch, denying Capcom a clean release window.

The reaction on Reddit was predictable: users celebrated not so much the ability to play for free, but the very fact that Denuvo had been beaten.

Atomic Heart originally launched in February 2023 and has since reached over 10 million players worldwide. Over three years, Mundfish released four expansions as part of the Atomic Pass — Annihilation Instinct, Trapped in Limbo, Enchantment Under the Sea, and Blood on Crystal. At the same time, the studio announced Atomic Heart 2, a multiplayer spin-off The Cube, and is publishing the horror project ILL.
