Focus Entertainment and Deck13 Interactive recently announced a May 16th release date for Atlas Fallen. But that was so March 1st. Now just four weeks later, a new tweet announces the action/RPG will arrive on August 10th, almost three months after that. So it would seem that a lot has changed in a very short time. There's no mystery here, the explanation is simply that extra development time will make for a better game:

Thank you for the tremendous support we received so far on Atlas Fallen! From your enthusiastic comments on our video teasers online and in person at PAX EAST to the positive previews from critics, we're grateful and honored to have you excited to play our game.

Our goal has always been to create a memorable A-RPG experience in a unique setting, with exciting gameplay and the option for fully playable seamless co-op with a friend. We'd love to give the game some extra time which will allow us to deliver the best possible version of Atlas Fallen.

To achieve this, we have made the difficult decision to delay the worldwide launch of Atlas Fallen to AUGUST 10, 2023. We apologize for this disappointing news.

We'll come back in early summer to share updates on the game, including new gameplay footage and your first look at drop-in co-op gameplay. We can't wait to bring you a fantastic experience in the deserted lands of Atlas this summer!

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we head to the finish line,
