ATLAS for Windows

From the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved, ATLAS is a true pirate world!

Explore a persistent, huge open world with thousands of other players at the same time. Build your ship, assemble a crew, sail on the high seas, search for buried treasures, loot player-built settlements (or replace them with your own) and conquer the ATLAS world island by island.

Wage war against an enemy fleet while you single-handedly command large warships – or instead, split responsibilities among your trusted shipmates. Dive into the depths of water to explore sunken shipwrecks. Team up with other explorers to discover new lands rich in resources, exotic creatures and the ruins of bygone times. Become a pirate legend in this unrivaled quest for fortune and glory!

ATLAS game features

Build your dream pirate ship

From tiny rafts and boats to colossal frigates and galleons, your dream boat is just steps from the shipyard with our robust ship customization system. Build your ship piece by piece, give it a name, design the appearance of your sails, and decide exactly where all the boards, masts and gun ports on your ship should be.

Assemble your team at ATLAS

Hire other players or hire NPCs to join your team and help you in your quest for fortune and glory. Whether it’s arming your ship, raising the sail or helping you find treasure ashore, your crew is an integral part of your pirate adventure. Just make sure their stomachs are full and give them their fair share of the spoils, otherwise you want riot in your hands …

Explore a huge world

Swim in real time across the vast ocean, covering more than 700 separate land areas in an area of ​​45,000 square kilometers. Discover thousands of attractions in different regions of the world, each with their own unique resources, creatures, secrets and dangers!

Shape your personality

Choose from a wide range of character customization and cosmetic options to create your own special pirate look. Unlock skills across 15 different disciplines to shape your unique role in the ATLAS world.

Experience classic pirate action

Instead, become the world’s greatest thug, pistol shooter, or perhaps a master gunner. Engage in fierce raids on land-based citadels, jump from hooks onto enemy ships, or fire cannonballs into enemy corps. In the ATLAS world, there is no shortage of ways to deal with enemies, be it the end of the sword … or pirate … at the end of the rope.

Create your organization

Looking to build a rich, pole-to-pole trading empire? Ever wanted to command a fleet of privateers who work for whoever pays the most? Or maybe you want to create a government fleet and protect the innocent from pirates? In ATLAS, you can build any organization you can think of. Build a village for your company and build it piece by piece with our modular building system. Compete with lands, buildings or ships of other companies and add them to your ranks. With the right organization in hand, the world is truly your oyster.

Choose between PvP and PvE Play

On a PvP server, everything is available: be it ships, player inventory, NPC crew members, tamed, player-built structures, player-owned territory, and many other loot. If you can get hold of it, you can take it yourself. Do you have what it takes to become the most famous pirate on the high seas?

Want a less “ruthless” experience? Join one of our PvE servers and collaborate with thousands of other players to explore the globe, discover new secrets, and even fight mythical creatures together. Form powerful companies with old friends, or build an entire player-controlled city with a few new ones. The ATLAS world is in your hands!

Create mods and custom servers

Looking to build a World War II Spitfire? Or how about a steampunk arcadian airship floating in a cloudy world? These and many more examples are included in the ATLAS Dev Kit, where you can efficiently create any large-scale action game you want to see: all supported by the database-driven networking technology that supports ATLAS. Unofficial ATLAS mods can be of any size and configuration, while the visual map tool allows server hosts to create their own complete custom world – all dynamically passed to the client during play.
