Atlas Rogues was a spin-off of Atlas Reactor which itself was shut down and delisted in 2019. Rogues started out as a spin-off prototype, aiming to turn Reactor’s PvP gameplay into something cooperative and PvE. Launched in November of 2020, the team was excited to revisit the Atlas Reactor universe but reception was mixed and there seemed to be a lot of expectations that this would be another competitive multiplayer game. So strong was the reaction that the team pinned a post to the game’s Steam Community forum outlining how it wasn’t PvP, and that it would never be PvP.
The aim of creating a “fast, co-op, turn-based game” with rogue-lite elements apparently didn’t resonate with fans or newcomers and Atlas Rogues saw under 100 daily active players a few weeks after its launch. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, the team has now announced that the game has been removed from sale and will be shut down on July 5th.
It’s with a heavy heart that we announce today that the Atlas Rogues servers will be shutting down. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, but we have concluded that the game can no longer sustain itself.
Starting today (05/30/2022) all purchasing has been shut off. Our current plans are to run the servers until July 5th 2022, this is subject to change and we will announce here if it changes.
For all who bought the game in the year 2022, please contact our customer service and we will provide you with a refund. For a refund request, please click on the following link: Account Support and choose the category “Purchases Issue”.
To the players, both past and present,
Thank you for spending your time in Atlas with us.
May 30th Announcement
I’ve added the date to the Watch List calendar and will have a page up on the site later. Thanks to Wakayama_PT for pointing out the news.
