Atlas provides roadmap for 2022 as part of transparency initiative

what is Atlas until 2022? If you’ve been wondering that question, Grapeshot Games has the answer in the form of a short roadmap video showing what players can expect in the year to come. They’ve also provided a quick overview of what changes have been made in 2021. Let’s see what we can look forward to Atlas this year.

Altas is a seafaring MMORPG that has been in Early Access since 2018, where they expressed their desire to get out of Early Access within 2 years. Now, Atlas is still looking to get out of early access and the latest roadmap for 2022 is her way forward.

Grapeshot Games is also determined to show its community that they deserve more transparency. To that end, and in the name of transparency, the 2022 Roadmap is part of the initiative to give players more information about the teams’ development cycle.

“As we sail deeper into 2022, we continue our transparency initiative with our amazing community. As part of that effort, today we’re bringing you a short video detailing our roadmap for the year ahead. In the video we present our plans for new content, new player experiences and the upcoming exit from Early Access!”
