ATMTA is making a quarterly progress report on its blockchain-based sci-fi game, and today it said has launched a pre-alpha playable Unreal Engine 5 experience in its Star Atlas universe.
ATMTA is building Star Atlas as a next-gen metaverse with triple-A game design and Unreal Engine 5 graphics built on the Solana blockchain. Today it hosted its second community-focused 426LIVE event announcing a series of updates, including the Unreal Engine 5 gameplay experience available exclusively on the Epic Games Store.

Michael Wagner, cofounder of Star Atlas and CEO of ATMTA, said in a statement, “We’re really excited to finally be able to give users a taste of the Star Atlas metaverse and start to bring this immersive world to life. We’re also extremely honored to be the first triple-A quality blockchain game available on the Epic Games Store, and we can’t wait to see web3 gaming become mainstream.”
