The Starlink: Battle for Atlas development team posted an update on future plans for the game today. Depending on how you look at the situation, the latest news is either a good thing or a bad thing.
According to Ubisoft, Starlink’s sales “fell below expectations.” That has resulted in the end of physical toys. Fortunately, the team is “hard at work on our biggest update to the game so far and are pleased to tell all of you that there will be new digital ships, pilots and weapons to collect.” That’s on top of free missions, challenges, and new activities.

System: Switch
Release date: March 29, 2019
Developer: Good Feel
Publisher: Nintendo
