Version 1.33.0 Released


Version 1.33.0 makes Live Maps significantly more interactive.

Instead of mostly watching the party move through a fixed route, Atlas Expeditions can now branch into meaningful side encounters where the player chooses between different risks and rewards. 

Interactive Route Choices

Live Maps now generate 1–3 route forks depending on Map tier and route length.

When the party reaches an unresolved fork, Auto-Run pauses until you choose how the expedition should continue. 

There are currently 10 encounter types:

  • Elite Hunt
  • Treasure Vault
  • Resonance Shrine
  • Field Camp
  • Cursed Reliquary
  • Wayfarer Caravan
  • Forgotten Spur
  • Optional Guardian
  • Risky Shortcut
  • Ambush Corridor

These encounters can affect combat strength, recovery, Gold and materials, Atlas Mastery XP, Map-chain chances and the remaining route itself. 

Tactical Party Roles

Party members now contribute differently during Live Map combat.

Vanguards reduce incoming pressure, Rangers and Arcanists increase offensive pressure, and Menders provide recovery during the expedition. Party markers also reflect these roles visually on the Live Map. 

Unique Map Mechanics

All 8 existing Unique Maps now have their own expedition rules rather than functioning only as fixed modifier packages. 

Examples include:

  • The Ashen Procession builds Heat as the expedition advances.
  • Stormglass Spiral triggers timed Stormglass Surges during combat.
  • Bastion Without End now ends in a true three-phase Guardian fight

Existing Atlas Progression

Atlas Codex, Mastery, Map Chains, Map rarities, affixes, Guardian Seals and the Atlas Forge all remain fully integrated.
