Season Launch Plan
With 800+ players expected to participate in our upcoming season, we've designed a phased rollout that prioritizes server performance, healthy progression, and long-term population across the entire cluster.
Rather than opening every server on day one, our launch schedule lets the player base spread naturally while ensuring each cluster stays active and competitive.
The plan is fixed: 14 servers on launch day, then 14 more when the beginners cluster opens on day 8, and then everything merges into one world. We are not adding or removing servers based on demand. Our goal is to keep every server populated, competitive, and enjoyable throughout the season.
The main competitive cluster goes live: 14 tournament servers across EU, NA and OC, all at 5X | 10-Man.
- 14 servers available immediately.
One week after launch, the beginners cluster opens. These 14 fresh servers, at the same 5X | 10-Man rates, give new players, returning survivors, and late arrivals the chance to establish themselves on equal footing before the merge into one competitive world.
At the conclusion of the beginners period, the beginners cluster merges into the main cluster. Once the merge begins, transfers become available, combining both clusters into one. Players then compete together across all 28 servers.
This marks the beginning of the season's true competitive stage, where every tribe enters the same persistent world.
Once the merge is complete and all clusters are synchronized, the ATS Tournament Leaderboards officially go live. To complete the merge and prepare the tournament systems, the cluster is expected to be offline for approximately 12–24 hours. Consider it your chance to catch up on some sleep. You'll probably need it.
When the servers return online, the race truly begins. Every tribe and player starts earning leaderboard points as they battle for tournament rankings, exclusive rewards, and the title of Season Champion.
The leaderboard opens on Day 30 and stays active until the end of the season. Since ATS seasons last roughly three months, players have around two full months after the merge to climb the rankings, dominate the competition, and secure their place among the season's champions.
Whether your goal is the #1 tribe, the top PvP player, or simply leaving your mark on the season, this is where every raid, every player kill, every enemy dino kill, and every structure destroyed begins to matter.
Built to stay populated and competitive
Our phased rollout is designed to create the best possible experience for every player while keeping the network healthy and competitive throughout the season. Our objectives:
This strategy lets us adapt to player participation while keeping every stage of the season balanced, exciting, and competitive, from the first day through the final leaderboard rankings.
