Ahoy Pathfinders!

In this patch, we are preparing for a new era in Atlas. The winds of progress are coming to the world, bringing new structures and adventures for all pathfinders, new and old. Large plumes of smoke can be seen on the horizon, signaling the “revolution” to come.

First off, we have the much anticipated tame house being introduced in this patch. Breeders rejoice, these tame houses will make a great shelter for all your fauna friends, while significantly speeding up the breeding process.

In preparation for the new season and Wonder coming soon, the fires of the industrial forge have been stoked to produce new resources and structures for Atlas. With these metallurgical advances, the landscape of Atlas will never be the same.

Discover the origins of these new technological feats in two new regions of the Atlas map. Along with the new discoveries, these areas hold new mysteries and challenges that will test even the most seasoned pathfinder.

Lastly, as a...

Ahoy Pathfinders!

As mentioned previously, the winds of change are blowing! Soon, Atlas will enter a new era of exploration and adventure! New technologies and new inventions will bring new avenues for exciting and thrilling campaigns. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store for the next season! We’ll be providing more and more information as we get closer to the update.

As a teaser, we have a glimpse of some strange new phenomenon coming to Atlas next patch. What could it be? You’ll have to find out for yourself next season!

As we usher in a new age for Atlas, we will say goodbye to the previous season with fond memories. We hope you enjoyed it and look forward to what’s to come! The final day of the season will be May 18th when we will be wiping all servers for a fresh start. We hope you’ll continue the journey with us as we prepare to exit early access later this year. Thanks for your support, take care, and happy sailing!

Ahoy Pathfinders!

As we draw closer to a new patch and a new season, we know the excitement and anticipation is brewing for what's to come in only a couple weeks time. With each season, the opportunity to start fresh and take on new challenges on the open seas is something we celebrate. In the meantime, we have a few fun things planned to give you a small look at what's in store. See if you can guess what new adversaries are coming to Atlas!

This fearsome creature may not be grumpy, but it definitely doesn't like pathfinders messing around where they're not supposed to be. One second, you and your crew may be scuttling along the shore, but the moment you may find yourself in a pinch, it's curtains for you and your adventure.

Careful where you swim since you never know what's under the waves and waiting to roll up on you in a flash. While a new set of shoes might sound nice, they won't help you out run this scaly stalker of the sea . You might as well save your tears, ...

Thank you for the feedback! We know we have many things to fix and are working towards resolving as many as we can. If you'd like to assist in making Atlas better, please click the link below and submit any issues you have. Thanks again and happy sailing!

Ahoy Pathfinders!

The clouds have dissipated and the seas have calmed so the conditions are finally ideal to get this season started! Along with numerous fixes and additional content mentioned last week, we will also be including the Industrial wonder structures and buildings in this update. Pathfinders have heard rumors of new technologies that will change the shape of Atlas.

These innovations are now available for one and all to discover. Advancements in astronomy, shipbuilding, and various other areas will take Pathfinders to new lands and new heights. Join us on May 25th at 7PM PDT as we wipe the Atlas world and start a new season filled with new adventures and discoveries! As always, we appreciate all the support we’ve received form our amazing community. Until next time, happy sailing!

Ahoy Pathfinders!

While we anxiously await the new content patch and bug fixes coming next week, we are returning an old favorite back to the seas in Atlas. Come rediscover these islands teeming with resources and adventures.

New Region: Uncharted Sea

Uncharted Sea has been reintroduced into the world of Atlas. Tropical Islands here have rare resources for pathfinders to plunder as well as more access to industrial and Army of the Damned nodes. Access to this region is located via portals in the South America and Africa Regions.

Finally, here is a teaser of what's to come next week:

Final Note

Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously ...

Ahoy Pathfinders!

With summer winding down, we have a new season to look forward to. A new season of ATLAS that is! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to patch day!

Upcoming Wipe

The final day of the season will be Wednesday September 21st when we will be wiping both official servers for a fresh start. Servers are expected to go down at 7PM PDT and should be back up within a few hours. Unofficial servers are not expected to need to wipe at this time.

A dedicated Kraken Bowl grid will be accessible September 14th - September 21st, so grab your crew and send this season off with a bang! To reach the Kraken Bowl, sail out from Tortuga in any direction across the grid line. PvE players should be particularly cautious, as the zone is PvP enabled for all who enter.

We hope you’ll continue the journey with us as we make our way closer to exiting early access. Thank you for your support and happy sailing!

Here’s a sneak peek at some changes headed our way...

Ahoy Pathfinders!

It was fantastic seeing so many of you listening in on the Live Dev Q&A in our discord! For those of you who were not available at that time and couldn’t make it, we have a written version of the event here for you now. First, let’s get some introductions of the staff in attendance!

H2O-Melons: Hi, I’m H2O-Melons (or Melons for short), I’m the Community Manager for Atlas. For those that might not be familiar with what that means, I am essentially the liaison between the players and the developers. I get feedback from the players and bring their concerns forward to the development team. In turn, you could say I’m the spokesperson for the development team. I publish information and manage our social media accounts.

Red Beard: Hi everyone, I’m the senior designer for Atlas, and the team leader for the design team and development teams.

Weird Beard: Ahoy pathfinders! I'm Weird Beard, former Community Manager for Atlas. I’m now in QA (Quality Assurance) for...

Ahoy there! You'll be happy to hear tickets are no longer auto-solved after submitting!

Here’s a sneak peek at some changes headed our way...

Ahoy Pathfinders,

This season has been one of the hottest on record and, with its end coming soon, we’ll be refitting the fleet. We’re making preparations and changes for the next season of adventure, starting with our Summer Tune Up!
This maintenance patch is dedicated to fixing many of the bugs and issues that have accumulated over the past few months and hopefully, put Atlas in a manageable game state leading into the new improvements coming in the Fall. What changes, you ask? Well, you’ll have to bottle up your excitement for now but we’ll have more details on the changes coming in our next patch over the next few weeks.
We are always grateful for the support and feedback the community has provided along our journey and hope it continues into the future. With that said, ‘til next time, may your skies be clear, waters calm, and sails full in whichever way you roam.

Ahoy Pathfinders,

The summer is here and there’s no better way to enjoy the season than spending your time out on the open seas. We have a couple new items, a new region, and some welcome improvements to the game, especially for our XBox players.

We have an “egg”-cellent new structure that will make breeding new tames even easier. The Tame Hatchery is the perfect spot to store your eggs and give them the care that’s needed.

The swivel gun railing is going to add a new dimension to sea battles. These out-facing guns will make combat more precise and change the battlefield forever.

As always, we have a slew of bug fixes and improvements inching us closer to an ideal gaming experience. We will continue to improve and iterate on player’s feedback and suggestions so check out the changes below.
