Deck 13 had us all eagerly awaiting Atlas Fallen, which was previously set to arrive in May. However, they’ve hit us with a delay until August 10, claiming that they need extra time to ensure the game is truly exceptional. It’s a tough pill to swallow for fans, but we’ll have to wait a bit longer to wander the empty terrain of Atlas. At least we can look forward to some fresh gameplay footage and a sneak peek at the drop-in co-op feature this summer.

Once the game does launch, you’ll be able to enjoy weapons that shift form depending on needs, hunts that put you up against magnificent beasts, and the ability to glide across the sands of the desert world left for the ruins of humanity. Offering super-human powers of levitation and super-strength, Atlas Fallen appears to place you in the midst of a power fantasy where the true test of mettle comes from obscenely large and deadly creatures.

Atlas Fallen currently exists in an enigmatic state: aside from the stunning trailer, little is understood about this title aside from a brief reference to corrupt gods and a once thriving landscape being turned to sand and dust. In the darkest hour of humanity, two heroes rise to liberate mankind, but we’re not sure if there will be some deeper meaning at this point.

Atlas Fallen will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox X/S. Currently, players can only pre-order the game through Focus Entertainment’s online store if they’re purchasing a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X copy.
