Finally, more content!
Why is this update so interesting? Players of Atlas want more content. Also to see in which direction the MMORPG is developing. Now this wish is fulfilled. With the new content, players have more to do.
The ice dungeon promises to be very interesting, as there is even a small, mysterious story surrounding a dangerous beast.
What else have the developers revealed? In the coming months, there is an interesting announcement for all Xbox players. This suggests that Atlas will also be released on Xbox One.
What comes after the May update? The team behind Atlas has released a small teaser. June will bring a single-server map called Blackwood.
The special thing about the map is that you can host it yourself as a stand-alone map without needing access to the large database.
Blackwood is a dangerous jungle area full of caves, rare plants, and malevolent monsters.
Player numbers are rising again
How is Atlas doing at the moment? After the big mega-update in April, the player numbers according to Steamcharts have risen significantly again. While there were around 3,000 active players in March, there are now more than 6,000 in May.
However, the ratings on Steam are stagnating. Before the big April update, they were at 34% “Mostly Negative” and are still that way now. The reason for this are the balancing problems and ongoing technical issues. In addition, there are still complaints about cheaters.
However, Atlas is still an early access title. It is not a “finished” game, but a project in an early stage of development.
