Atlas Reactor reinvents tactical team play, combining competitive, fast-paced action with simultaneous turns in high-stakes, high-risk battles. Players have the opportunity to outsmart and outgun their fellow Freelancers with mere seconds to survey the field, coordinate with their team and lock in their moves, then watch all players’ actions resolve at the same time. By working together as a team and predicting enemy actions and phases, players must devise the best strategy to put themselves one step ahead of the enemy to achieve victory.

And when the dust settles, you will either feel like the smartest player on the battlefield or know exactly where you went wrong. Either way, you’ll want to play again.

Atlas Reactor is celebrating this month’s festivities with a free Winter-themed update, adding the brand-new playable Freelancer, Phaedra, an imposing frontliner. Accustomed to hunting her prey in the labyrinth-like Depths, Phaedra has the unique ability to burst through walls to surprise her enemies.

The update also offers a sneak preview of a brand-new mode, Extraction, spurring up some friendly competition just in time for the holidays.

Inspired by [The Case], Extraction mode features two teams competing to capture a mysterious  briefcase. Pick up and control the case to achieve victory, but beware – holding the case will reveal you to enemies as well!

Snowmageddon: Players will also notice several in-game updates featuring holiday-themed content, with a snow-covered, holiday-themed Cloudspire map and 25 new, winter-themed skins for various Freelancers including Ice Princess Aurora, Sleigh Gremolitions, Jack Frost Helio, Snowman Nix, Santa Su Ren and more.
