Warlord Atlas

History is the starting point. The ending is yours.

Lead one of ten nations or a custom nation from the eve of war in 1935, and decide how knowledge from the future changes the world that follows.

Three paths beyond 1.0

Three optional paid expansions are planned for after version 1.0. They are not included in the current base game or Early Access.

DLC 1 · Planned after 1.0

Cold War & Aftermath Pack

The peace was not the end.

Five historical Cold War starts—1950, 1955, 1965, 1975, and 1985—plus four postwar what-if scenarios and a peace system covering reparations, disarmament, revanchism, and preventive war. Early Access owners receive the Cold War eras free, permanently.

DLC 2 · Planned after 1.0

What-If Chronicles

A modern fleet appears in the seas of 1941.

A full ISOT (a modern force displaced whole into another timeline) campaign sends a modern fleet into the 1941 of a parallel world—not its own past. Planned content also explores never-built battleships, unbuilt aircraft, space programs, and explicitly fictional secret projects. The planned 2026 IF fleets include Japan’s JS Kaga (Izumo class) with F-35B fighters, the United States’ USS Gerald R. Ford with F-35C fighters, and the United Kingdom’s HMS Queen Elizabeth with F-35B fighters. The final playable fleet composition remains in development and may change.

DLC 3 · Planned after 1.0

Power-Up Kit

In the shadow of great powers, carve your own path.

Unlocks Brazil and Argentina, with six national focuses for each, neighbor-linked events, and the two-perspective 1950 postwar scenario “South America Awakens.” Navigate great-power resource auctions and the threat of direct invasion while competing for regional hegemony.

Concept key art (including generative image processing); not final gameplay. Expansion names, content, ships, aircraft, and release plans may change during development.

Key features

This is not a game of isolated naval battles. It links forward bases, sea lanes, air operations, landings, and base security into one operational problem.

Three years in the making

Designed by a mathematician from the world of financial trading.

Story (in development) — You are not from this world

You arrive in a parallel world — almost, but not quite, your own — carrying the knowledge of how this war ends. Midnight, December 8th, 1941, Tokyo time: about three hours before Pearl Harbor. In ten council rooms across ten nations, the same light descends on the same night. Those who witness it cannot deny what they saw. You can choose the era of your arrival, too: 1935 on the eve of war, 1939 as Europe erupts, 1941 as the Pacific ignites, 1943 at the turning of the tide. You know what happens next — in your world. In this one, nothing is guaranteed.

Story in development: the prologue described here is a work in progress; staging and text are subject to change.

Japan — "The Oil Hourglass"

The strike force is already north of Hawaii. It cannot be recalled. In an underground council room, waiting for the first report, one question remains: can Japan win before the oil runs out — or end the war before it destroys her?

United States — "Two Oceans"

War is coming — but where? No one in the Cabinet Room says "Pearl Harbor." The fleet lies at anchor as a deterrent. You alone know whether it is a deterrent — or a row of targets.

United Kingdom — "Faster Than the Sinkings"

Japanese convoys are steaming into the Gulf of Siam. Strike first, or wait? The new battleship at Singapore has no air cover — and you know how many days she has left. In your world.

Germany — "Why Keep a Fleet?"

The counteroffensive before Moscow is two days old, and in the Atlantic an undeclared war is already being fought. Unleash the U-boats and declare war on America? You know what that decision meant — but this leadership may choose differently.

Soviet Union — "The Revolution and the Sea"

The counterattack has begun — and so, tonight, the navy's budget is to be cut. Intelligence insists Japan will strike south, not north. Would you stake a border on a single sheet of paper? You would. You know the report is right.

China — "The Nation That Lost the Sea"

Word reaches the wartime capital: the talks in Washington have collapsed. Four years of fighting alone may end before dawn — everyone believes it, and no one says it. You know this war will be won. The question is what comes after.

Italy — "The Sea That Became a Cage"

Since the night raid at Taranto, the main fleet has been chained to port, its eyes fixed on the fuel gauges; half the oil and shells sent to Tripoli vanish to the sea floor each month. In three hours the seas of the East will burn — and when the war goes global, the side that wakes last is the one with the bottomless industry. In your world. Nothing says this alliance must reach the same end.

France — "Two Tricolors"

Two tricolors hang side by side on the wall — one for the armistice government, one for those who fight on beyond the sea. The same cloth, the same three colors, and yet no longer the same flag. The apparition itself becomes a test of loyalty. This rift will last four years, and one day the fleet, unable to choose either flag, will scuttle itself in its own port. In your world. But nothing says this world must choose the same ending.

Australia — "The Umbrella Too Far"

The best divisions fight another man's war on another man's continent; the cruisers are still on loan in the Mediterranean. The fleet will come east, Singapore will be held as the keystone — the promise has been repeated, yet not one shadow of that umbrella falls on the chart. The keystone falls ten weeks from this dawn. But nothing says this world must follow that road. In your world.

Canada — "Between Two Shores"

This nation stands between two shores — the mother country across the ocean, and the great power sharing its continent to the south. In the Atlantic, hastily built escort ships are fully occupied protecting the northern convoys; last month, two thousand men were sent across the Pacific to Hong Kong. The telegraph reports that the anchorage of the great power to the south is ablaze. Those two thousand troops in Hong Kong will surrender on Christmas Day, and the North Atlantic will be at its darkest for the next eighteen months. You know this. But nothing says this world must follow the same road. In your world.
