The game world is 45,000km² big, with over 700 islands and ten larger zones. It takes place in a giant persistent world, which developers say can host up to 40,000 players at once.
While it seems a little similar to Sea of Thieves, hopefully it’ll turn into something quite unique. The game, which is launching on Steam Early Access on the 13th December and Xbox One’s Game Preview in 2019, has been in the works for a while, but has only just been announced. One of the most interesting reveals of The Game Awards is that of Atlas, a new pirate-themed MMO from the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved.
