New Game+
New Game+ mode brings more to enjoy beyond the main story campaign. Whether you seek more challenges or are eager to unleash your divine power. Carry over your equipment, materials, and character progression to a fresh journey on the same difficulty, with new enemies, rearranged enemy spawn, items, and weapon upgrades that help you bring an overpowered arsenal to bear. Or, challenge the full unshackled might of the Sun God in the intense experience offered by the new difficulty mode Nyaal's Nightmare. 🔁
Explore new Horizons
Along your journey, venture into the newly added Source, an entangled, distorted divine plane where combat reaches a fever pitch. Harness the power of the newly introduced Wraith Abilities to transform into the very creatures that stand against you and uncover the secrets of the past in an additional quest line.
Alongside your ever-evolving weapons with their boundless array of attacks and upgrades, these new abilities provide an additional layer to combat. Mastering these abilities will be crucial to stand a chance against the new mighty boss fights awaiting in Source.
New to Reign of Sand are the Corruption Breaches scattered across the open-world. These combat encounters drastically change the rules of Atlas Fallen with various gameplay modifiers to provide unique, fun and rewarding experiences.🗺️
Face new fierce adversaries
Countless sand wraiths roam the timeless lands of Atlas, an army of savage monsters controlled by a tyrannical god. Their threat keeps humanity at bay, forcing them to hide in a few remaining sanctuaries. The RoS update expands the ranks of foes with new mighty creatures
The Morpher presents a dual challenge, forcing you to engage in combat both in mid-air and on solid ground. The Weaver is a nasty little flying critter that you will face in New Game+. It buffs nearby wraiths by applying affliction, making these foes poisonous for the player
We can’t wait to read your feedback about our new dangerous friends!
Forge your Playstyle
With Reign of Sand, 25 Essence Stones create even more combat opportunities. The Healing Alliance summons a friendly Wraith companion for a short time that heals you and even prevents death at the cost of its own existence.
Beastial Claws is great for tearing through enemies with fast beat-like combos. Afflicted Overcharge belongs to a new subclass of stones that diminish your total health during combat, offset by extraordinary advantages. Alone or with a friend in co-op, new synergies are ready to be discovered.
Find, upgrade and customize also your armor, uncover relics and material to increase your power and free humanity from the oppression of a tyrannical god. ⚔️
Save Game Notes
We have a save file transfer feature which allows to carry over your character progression (lvl, equipment, achievements). However, the world progression (i.e., quest progression) is reset to the start of your latest level reached.
Thanks again for your support since launch, and we hope you’re as excited as we are for this massive update!
The update arrives this August 6, for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
