Featured: Atlas of Worlds
The Atlas of Worlds is an overhaul of the end-game map progression.
As players progress through the Atlas, the difficulty increases. Players can also add mods to the Atlas, or upgrade maps to a higher tier.
In the center of the map are four Guardians of the Void. Defeating them gives players a chance to challenge the creator of the Atlas himself, the Shaper.
