Focus Entertainment, in collaboration with Deck13 Interactive, announced a new mystery action role-playing game (RPG) titled 'Atlas Fallen.' This game is described by the developers as a semi open-world action game that places emphasis on fantasy, large-scale combat, and discovery. Characters gain access to powerful weapons such as flaming swords, magical scythes, and more. On top of this, the characters are equipped with magical abilities, such as the ability to wield lightning as seen in the release trailer.
Due to the nature of the game's large world, players have access to fast movement abilities, such as sand gliding, flying, and even short-range teleportation. The game is expected to release in 2023 for Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC via Steam. At this point in time, it is not clear what the extent of the multiplayer aspect of the game is.
