It's the second delay in two weeks for the pirate fantasy MMO.

Originally slated for an Early Access release last week, then delayed until today, pirate MMO Atlas (from the makers of dino survival game Ark: Survival Evolved) has been pushed back a few more days, according to the description under the extended launch trailer posted today (which you can see above). A message in the official Atlas Discord confirms the delay as well: the new Early Access launch date is now Friday, December 21.

Steven got to play a bit of Atlas two weeks ago, and barring any further delays, the rest of us will get our chance before Christmas. We hope!

Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
