  Athos Roadmap Revealed – Major Update Arrives in July!

  It has taken us a little longer than expected to announce the exact release date for the next major update to Athos. Over the past year, we have been working hard behind the scenes, making significant changes and improvements to the game. Due to the scale of these changes, the process took longer than originally anticipated. However, we now have a clear roadmap that we are excited to share with you. Our first major update is scheduled for mid-July, bringing with it many of the features and improvements we have been developing over the past year.One of the biggest changes is that Athos has been upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.2 to Unreal Engine 5.6. This upgrade not only keeps the game current with the latest technology but also brings performance and stability improvements.The game's interface has been completely redesigned with improved visuals and a stronger medieval aesthetic to better match the world of Athos.Another major addition is the new Quest System. Players will now have quests to follow, providing direction, progression, and opportunities to uncover more of the game's lore as they explore the world.The highly anticipated Dinosaur Armor System will also make its debut. Players will be able to equip their dinosaurs with different armor sets, allowing them to customize stats and tailor their companions to suit their preferred playstyle.We've also significantly improved the dinosaur movement system. Dinosaurs will now navigate around obstacles more effectively and should become stuck far less frequently than before.Finally, one of the biggest additions arriving in July is the introduction of official dedicated servers. Players will be able to join friends, build communities, and experience all of the new content together on persistent servers.As shown on our roadmap, we are planning for the full release of Athos in August.

  New Saddle System & Next Major Update Coming to Athos!

  We’re excited to share more details about one of the big features coming in our next major update: the new saddle system for mounts in Athos. This system will add more depth and flexibility to how you use your dino companions, giving you the ability to customize them for different playstyles and situations.At its core, the saddle system introduces three main saddle types:Transport Saddle – Designed for utility and hauling power, this saddle boosts weight capacity and transport-related stats, making it easier to move large amounts of crafted resources or heavy items across the world.Runner Saddle – Built for speed and mobility, the runner saddle improves movement stats, allowing your dino mount to travel faster across rough terrain and cover long distances in record time.Armor Saddle – Focused on combat readiness, this saddle increases armor and protection, giving your mount greater durability and turning it into a fearsome ally in battles.One of the most exciting parts of this system is that saddles and their gear will be modular and interchangeable. This means you can combine elements from different saddle types to create hybrid builds that fit your needs. For example, mix armor with runner gear to balance speed and combat efficiency, or combine armor with transport upgrades to move heavy loads while still staying protected on the road.Alongside the saddle system, this update will also bring a major engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.6, delivering a host of new features, optimizations, and bug fixes that will make Athos look and play better than ever. This upgrade will also mark the beginning of our preparations to bring Athos to Xbox and PlayStation platforms, expanding the world of Athos to even more players.Stay tuned for the official release date of this update—it’s going to be a big one!
