Deck13 Interactive’s game may have benefited from the delay.

Here’s Focus Entertainment’s (the publisher’s) overview: “Atlas Fallen, the epic fantasy action RPG where you battle legendary creatures in superpowered combat, just released in-depth footage showcasing its high-octane action and exploration through breathtaking environments… Get ready to become the Champion of Atlas! Take up the Gauntlet. Liberate humanity. Destroy the Sun God.

Atlas Fallen takes you on an epic, explosive journey through a vast, sand-covered world. As the hero who rises against the tyrannic Sun God Thelos, you must stand against the Wraiths—terrifying divine creatures that stalk the land. Wearing the Gauntlet, a magical artifact that grants you extraordinary abilities, glide the sands and use your shapeshifting weapons and aerial movement to adapt your playstyle to each Wraith.

The world’s 151 Essence Stones will grant you different attacks and effects for you to customize the build that suits you and matches the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent. Keep improving and experimenting with synergies and combos to strive in Atlas Fallen’s stylish combat experience with an intoxicating game feel.”

When the game’s release was delayed in the spring, the studio wrote: “We’ll return 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.” They delivered. Atlas Fallen will be released on August 10 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam). Likely, this release date won’t be pushed even further in the year, as it would start to look ridiculous or disappointing. Then again, it’s less than two months away, and it’s from the makers of The Surge.
