'Starlink: Battle For Atlas' (ALL) Sales Disappoint, No More Physical Toys

by Rainier on April 4, 2019 @ 2:07 a.m. PDT

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is an open-world action-adventure space saga that features Smart Building Technology empowering players to assemble and customize real-world physical starships.

In Starlink: Battle for Atlas, you're part of a group of heroic interstellar pilots, dedicated to free the Atlas star system from Grax and the Forgotten Legion, an evil robot force.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas offers a whole new gameplay experience: to play, build your own modular Starship model, mounted on your controller, to take part into epic space combats. Equip your model with different parts, and your Starship changes in game in real time.

Assemble your fleet, mix and match your pilots, Starships and weapons to create your own play style and defeat the enemy.

While has received free content back in Dec. 2018, and more scheduled for this month, it seems overall sales have disappointed resulting in Ubisoft making the decision to no longer release physical toys.

With the announcement of new content arriving this April, we felt that it is important to provide an update on the topic of physical toys. Starlink: Battle for Atlas has been a passion project for us from the start, and we are incredibly proud of the modular Starship technology we have developed, and how well players have responded to it.

Despite the immense and continuous support from our players, the sales for Starlink: Battle for Atlas fell below expectations. Consequently, we recently made the decision to not release any additional physical toys for the Spring update and in the future.

As part of our effort to do right by our passionate and dedicated community we are currently hard at work on our biggest update to the game so far and are pleased to tell all of you that there will be new digital ships, pilots and weapons to collect.

Additionally, there will be a ton of free content to expand your games such as additional missions, challenges and new activities to engage in throughout Atlas, including content that was inspired by community suggestions, such as Outlaw Racing.

Key Features:

  • Fully Customize Your Starship: The Choice Is Yours
    • Mix and match pilots, hulls, wings, and weapons to assemble your ideal starship with an unprecedented level of customization and creativity.
    • Changes to your physical ship instantly appear in-game allowing you to immediately jump into the battle.
  • Explore an Entire Star System
    • Travel seamlessly through the exotic alien worlds of the Atlas Star System. Each planet has its own identity, ecosystem and wildlife.
    • Be careful, as space is a hostile environment and will present many challenges.
    • The world evolves depending on your actions and your choices. Everything you do has an impact on your journey, and enemies will react and fight back intelligently and take over the star system if you do nothing to stop them.
  • Get Creative in Combat
    • Build your own play style.
    • Experiment with different pilot abilities, weapons types, and status effects to discover and unleash devastating combos upon your enemies and overcome deadly challenges.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
