Open-world cooperative survival adventure game Lost Skies will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on April 18, publisher Humble Games and developer Bossa Games announced.
“At the start of Early Access, there’s already a rich adventure waiting with lots of things for you to discover,” the developers explained. “You’ll begin your journey in Region 1 (Outskirts), made of beautiful floating islands crafted by Bossa and our community through Island Creator. You’ll be able to explore three different island types ranging in difficulty, with various wildlife, ancient tech enemies and puzzles. And of course, you can build, customize and upgrade your own skyship, whether you’d like to turn it into a cozy base for solo adventures or a powerful battleship for your crew.
“You’ll also face the biggest threat in Outskirts, the first Herald boss—a massive mechanical creature that will test your ship’s strength and your crew’s coordination. All of this is wrapped in a progression loop centered around crafting, upgrading, and exploration. We believe the foundation is there, and we’ll keep polishing and balancing it throughout Early Access to make sure this experience only gets better.”
Lost Skies will continue to be expanded upon and improved over the course of Early Access, including through general bug fixing, optimization, and quality of life improvements, extending Region 1 with new islands, and adding more enemies and resources to deepen the survival loop. Further down the line, a new region and “a ton of new content” are planned, ranging from new puzzles and schematics to new creatures and bosses.
