“In Atlas of Worlds, the map instances are actually all interconnected on one giant atlas. This web has a number of different paths to get to the center, where players can finally face The Shaper. There are four themed starting zones on the atlas to begin the journey, one on each corner. But the pathways branch out in various ways, so starting on one corner does not force you into facing one specific guardian. [I]t is definitely possible to work through the entire map and acquire all four guardian key parts yourself, but since certain items will only drop on certain areas of the map, most players will probably prefer to focus on their favorite maps and specialize in a certain quadrant of the map and then trade others for the remaining key parts.”
The studio has since been talking up its plans for improved performance. The patch notes and skill tree info are out now, and GGG has a little teaser trailer up in addition to the original; we’ve tucked it below. Will you be playing?
