In preparation for PC and Xbox cross play, ATLAS is updating with massive wipes and adjustments ahead of time.
The biggest details include,
ATLAS will launch into Xbox One’s Game Preview next month.
ATLAS will be available for digital download on the 8th of October 2019
It will launch Day One with crossplay support allowing Steam and Xbox to play together in the same gigantic world.
Complete re-bindable keyboard and mouse support for Xbox players ensures full game parity and an even playing field for all players
Optional single-player and private session modes, which also makes use of the new procedural “Wild Pirate Camp” system
There will be simultaneous updates and content pushes for both Xbox and PC ensuring the delivery of the same experience for Pathfinders on both platforms
We’re working on getting Unofficial servers setup for Xbox Day One with Nitrado, where cross-platform can be enabled or disabled (in any direction so PC or Xbox player servers only)
A network wipe is coming to, “ensure the smoothest possible game experience,” on September 28 at 12a EST. A permanent relaunch of NA PvP will take place after. And after that, all other networks will be launched on October 8.
The latest version launch brings with it,
New world map with improved biome layout (and a new biome type)
Over 70 new core island templates, and many polish improvements to existing islands
Over 20 new cosmetics, and sail cosmetics
Improved client and server performance
Full Gamepad support
"Wild Pirate Camps" option for singleplayer and non-dedicated sessions (enabled by default): take over each island across the ATLAS by attacking and claiming procedural enemy pirate camps, guarded by cannons, pirates wielding all sorts of weapons, and even powerful pirate ships!
New Multi-shot Hydra Pistol
Cats (with hats!)
