Good thinking. Here's my updated one: I only outright removed the ones that are directly related to Atlas, so these are the ones I removed:

1. Weiss confronts Jacques

2. Watts has a Central Role

3. The Winter Maiden debuts

4. FN returns

5. Ironwood's sanity deteriorates

6. Winter Returns

In their place are the following:

1. A New Enemy confronts the group

- Same reason as Chish.

2. Adam's past before the WF is hinted at if not outright shown

- With the new character short confirmed to focus on Adam when he was first in the WF with Sienna, I have a feeling he'll get bigger focus this season and we'll learn some of his past.

3. Ozpin's Faction has to head to Anima's West Coast to find a ship

- They'll need either an Airship or a Boat to get to Atlas, and with most ships near Mistral more than likely grounded after the attack on Haven, they'll need to head to either the West or Northwest Coast to get a ship.

4. Taiyang is forced to join the plot, and he gathers other Vale characters to join him

- While the Volume 5 end credits hint at Raven still getting focus and Tai being involved, its also possible Tai may get involved on his own rather than join Raven's subplot, in that he'll branch off. And with Vale almost back up according to Port and Tai being in contact with both Port and Oobleck, he may gather a team if he does get involved. And no CFVY though, as an upcoming Light Novel series states they moved to Shade Academy in Vacuo to continue their studies.

5. Ghira and Kali don't join Ozpin's Faction, but their efforts are shown as a Subplot

- Self explanatory, but with Ghira aiming to create a new group to counter the White Fang, I don't think that'll be left in the background.

6. Another Faction joins the fight

- Before Volume 5's end, we had 4 factions total: Salem's group including the WF, Ozpin's group, the Menagerie Militia, and the Branwen Tribe. After the end, the Menagerie Militia you could argue is with Ozpin's faction thanks to Blake, and the Branwen Tribe has all but disbanded, so we're back to two factions, plus Salem's faction has lost the White Fang thanks to Adam's screwup. So it's quite possible we'll have another faction join the mix to fuck things up, whether it be another Anima tribe or another group after the Maiden powers for their own reasons. You could even argue Ghira's new group will be this new faction, or that Hazel, Mercury, and Emerald will be forced to form a seperate one if they can't get back to Salem.
