Atlas Game Twitter Reveals NEW Release Time DELAY: When will Atlas' Steam game release? (Pic: STUDIO WILDCARD)
New pirate adventure game, Atlas, was supposed to launch a week ago. But the game by Studio Wildcard, the developers behind Ark Survival Evolved has hit a constant array of delays.
Although we've said this a few times now, the last update from the team had suggested the game would eventually launch Today, Saturday 22, with streamers getting access before the rest of the world.
"Pathfinders, we expect early streaming of ATLAS to start this evening at approx 9:00 PM PST. Following that, the game will be ready for full Early Access Launch tomorrow by noon PST."
To anyone in the UK that would have mean a 5am GMT start for any lucky streamers, with a full launch at 8pm GMT for everyone else.
However, forty minutes on from when the game would have launched for streamers, it looks as though the developers had hit another snag.
At 5.40am GMT this morning the official Twitter account for the game announced yet another delay for the games early access launch.
"We're still working on a build. We will let you know when we have something more concrete, we think it will take at least 5 hours. Check back in the morning for another update."
Of course to the developers 'the morning' will likely refer to their own US time, but for anyone in the UK and Europe, it most likely mean we won't learn anything more about the games release time, until this afternoon.
That being said, PC Gamer has noted that some Twitch steamers do have their hands on the game in a piece titiled 'Thousands are watching Twitch streamers not play Atlas because it's been delayed again'
"Some streamers have the game now, though it hasn't released wide yet."
For now, it's again unclear exactly when this game is going to launch on steam in early access. Although if you're in the UK and expecting Studio Wildcard to make that promise of 8pm GMT tonight, we wouldn't hold our breath.
What is Atlas?
From the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved comes ATLAS – a massively multiplayer first-and-third-person fantasy pirate adventure. ATLAS will host up to 40,000 players exploring the same Globe simultaneously, with an unprecedented scale of cooperation and conflict! Stake your claim in this endless open world as you conquer territory, construct ships, search for buried treasure, assemble forts, plunder settlements and hire crew to join your powerful growing armada.
Start small then expand your spheres of influence from a small island, up to an unstoppable pirate empire that spans across the oceans. Wage battle against enemy fleets as you singlehandedly can command large ships of war using the captaining system (or divide up to the responsibilities among your trusted lieutenants), or take control of any weapon directly with your own character.
Dive deep into the briny water to explore permanent sunken wrecks and recover salvage, unearth the loot from procedurally-generated Treasure Maps and challenge zones, or complete challenging main questlines.
Team up with other aspiring adventurers and sail into the vast ocean to discover new lands rich with region-specific elements, tame exotic natural and mythical creatures, raid forgotten tombs, confront powerful ancient gods and even build and administer your own colonies, cities, and civilizations to dominate the ATLAS in this ultimate quest for fortune and glory!
Many generations later, as living memory of the “Sundering” has faded into legend and the once-plentiful magical energy has long since dissipated, descendants of the protectors of the Heart of the Goddess — known as “Pathfinders” — emerge from their provincial oceanic lives to explore the new continents and islands, and seek out the power they may yet contain.
Across the vast new world theyll encounter hostile creatures, technological remnants of the Golden Age past, and ultimately the undying spirit of Xevos himself and his soulless “Army of the Damned”, still intent on recovering the pieces of the Heart of the Goddess to raise the continents once again under his vision.
If the latest generation of Pathfinders can outwit and outgun Xevos and his legions, and recover the Heart pieces for themselves, they will be faced with the very same choice: whether to attempt to restore the old world, or build a new better one…
