Atlas Fallen has been out for a few months now, and we'd like to express our gratitude to everyone who has played already!
We've been carefully reviewing your feedback and reports about Atlas Fallen, and have released several patches to improve the experience in the last months.
We’ve noticed some players expecting the support to dwindle in the coming months, and we wanted to be clear about that: Our dedication to Atlas Fallen continues and the team is hard at work on a more ambitious update bringing important tweaks of the core experience next year, as well as new content.
This includes new mechanics, additional essence stones, additional level, a heavily reworked intro, and more! We'll be sharing more information starting next year.
Once again, a sincere thank you for your unwavering support. We can’t wait to share more about what we have cooking!
