The team had a very difficult decision to delay Black Skylands ever-so-slightly to ensure Early Access launch was done just right. Originally revealed to be releasing on June 11th, our skypunk open-world adventure is coming to Steam, GOG.com and Epic Games Store on July 9th, 2021.
Many years ago, Earth turned into thousands of islands floating in the air. In the new world, the peoples of Aspya used to live in peace… Until vicious raiders invaded their homelands.
You play as Eva—a proud daughter of the Earners. The Kain’s Falcons, cold-blooded bandits from the Desert Lands, destroyed the Earners’ Fathership and took your old man’s life. Driven by revenge, you have to rebuild your aerial home “from the deck up”, arm and prepare for battle.
However, the Kain’s Falcons are not the only threat you are about to face. Somewhere in the depths of the Black Skylands, the mysterious Swarm lurks…
Black Skylands Key Features:

I have been a gaming enthusiast ever since I cried because we left my cousin's house because he had a PS1. Have been a hardcore gaming fan since 2010, where gaming helped me make key friendships including the one which gave birth to FULLSYNC. I do not discriminate between gaming genres; show me a trailer and I will judge the game. I am also a Tekken fanatic too, so if you wish to fight me just hit me up!
