In a statement made on Ubisoft’s website, the company has announced that Starlink: Battle for Atlas will not be receiving new physical toys. Due to the game failing to meet sales expectations, the Spring update is not going to have physical toys for its launch. The full excerpt can be seen below:
“Pilots of the Starlink Initiative,
Thank you so much for the warm response to the new Starlink content announced during the February Nintendo Direct.
With the announcement of new content arriving this April, we felt that it is important to provide an update on the topic of physical toys. Starlink: Battle for Atlas has been a passion project for us from the start, and we are incredibly proud of the modular Starship technology we have developed, and how well players have responded to it.
Despite the immense and continuous support from our players, the sales for Starlink: Battle for Atlas fell below expectations. Consequently, we recently made the decision to not release any additional physical toys for the Spring update and in the future.
As part of our effort to do right by our passionate and dedicated community we are currently 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.
Additionally, there will be a ton of free content to expand your games such as additional missions, challenges and new activities to engage in throughout Atlas, including content that was inspired by community suggestions, such as Outlaw Racing.
We’re very grateful for the support we have received from players around the world and can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on our next big update launching this April.
We’ll see you in the stars,
Starlink Development Team”
Starlink’s Nintendo Switch version of the game was the most notable due to its inclusion of Star Fox content. The recent February Nintendo Direct announced that a new update is coming to the game featuring Star Wolf and his crew. Alongside this, a slew of new starship races, weapons, faction missions, and more are coming to the game. This DLC update is expected to launch at some point this month, April.
