Evaluation

Athos is a dinosaur survival RPG currently in Early Access on Steam. The game launched into Early Access on October 9, 2023 and has been receiving regular updates ever since, with the developer shipping major content updates roughly every 3–5 months — including the Tribal Followers update (March 2024), an AI overhaul (April 2024), improved combat (August 2024), and expanded controller support with new rideable dinosaurs (June 2025). On June 25, 2026 — just under a month before today — the developer published a roadmap post announcing a major mid-July 2026 update that will bring a completely redesigned UI with a stronger medieval aesthetic, a new Quest System, a Dinosaur Armor System, significantly improved dinosaur movement and pathfinding, official dedicated servers, and an engine upgrade from Unreal Engine 5.2 to 5.6. Beyond that, the same post confirmed plans for a full 1.0 release in August 2026, which will introduce an entirely new map and additional content. The developer explicitly stated they will share more details about this new world in the coming weeks. This is the most recent and most concrete developer communication on record, and it confirms both an imminent major update and a planned 1.0 launch. The game is actively under development with clearly defined near-term deliverables.

About this game

The year is 1814. A time of steel and honor—of knights, warriors, and forgotten empires. Your ship has crashed. The wreckage smolders behind you as you awaken, disoriented and alone on the shores of a strange, uncharted island. The ground rumbles beneath your body—heavy, thunderous footsteps draw near. A towering T-Rex emerges from the jungle mist. Yet somehow… you’re not afraid. What truly unsettles you is the void in your mind—you remember nothing of who you were or what led you here.

Welcome to Athos, a primal world where dinosaurs never went extinct. Instead, they evolved alongside humanity, forging a brutal and beautiful land untouched by time. Shipwrecked and with no memory of your past, you must learn to survive in this savage wilderness. Gather resources, craft weapons, and tame powerful dinosaurs to stand by your side. As you grow stronger and carve out a life on this dangerous island, echoes of your forgotten past begin to resurface. Why did your ship crash? Why were you spared? And what ancient force slumbers beneath Athos, waiting to be awakened?

Upon starting, each player is dropped into the vast and diverse landscapes of the prehistoric world of Athos. The game world is teeming with various species of dinosaurs, from the towering Tyrannosaurus rex to the nimble Velociraptor. Armed with only primitive tools and their wits, players must quickly gather resources like wood, stone, and food to build shelters, craft weapons, and stay alive.

Surviving the game means facing the ever-present danger of dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs can be tamed and used as mounts, providing players with a distinct advantage, while others are relentless predators that require careful strategy to defeat. Players can team up to take down larger threats or go solo to hone their survival skills.

Throughout the game, players can collect blueprints and rare resources to craft more advanced weapons, armor, and tools. As players level up, they gain access to new abilities and skills that aid in combat and survival. Choose your playstyle and tailor your character to dominate the primordial landscape.

Athos immerses players in a thrilling survival adventure where they must navigate a perilous alien world, interact with majestic yet dangerous dinosaurs, and uncover the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. With its dynamic gameplay, and rich narrative elements, the game offers an unforgettable journey of exploration, adaptation, and survival in the face of daunting odds.
