December is here! New updates are coming this month, starting with some major fixes and balance changes based on community feedback. We hope everyone is having a wonderful winter holiday season so far. Today we are implementing fixes for connection issues, gameplay changes, tutorial options, missions/recon updates, escalations, freelancers, and talent adjustments.
Early Access is just the beginning of a long list of features and fixes to come. If you did not see your specific concern handled yet, it does not necessarily mean we have missed it, but that we could still be working on it. Please keep providing constructive feedback and bug reports. Thanks for being an awesome Atlas community!
Important note: Co-op is currently disabled and players will not be able to host co-op sessions at the moment. We anticipate a future hotfix for this later today or in the near future. Thanks for your understanding as we encountered an unexpected co-op issue we hope to resolve soon.
