A highlight of the development journey for Lost Skies came during February’s Steam Next Fest, where a playable build of the game garnered significant attention. According to a press release from Bossa Games, Lost Skies was one of the standout titles during the festival, indicating strong interest from players. This positive reception comes at a crucial time for the studio, which recently faced a difficult period with a round of layoffs earlier this year.
While the exact number of developers laid off remains unclear, Bossa Games has since confirmed that only 40 team members remain to finish Lost Skies. Despite the reduced workforce, the studio is determined to get the game across the finish line and deliver a compelling experience in early access. It’s clear that Lost Skies has captured the imagination of players, and the team hopes that the momentum built during Next Fest will continue with the upcoming early access launch.
At the time of the layoffs, Henrique Olifiers, co-CEO of Bossa Games, explained that the cuts were made to focus on the “late-stage production” of Lost Skies. The studio is committed to ensuring a successful early access release and evolving the game based on player feedback. According to the plan, version 1.0 of the game is slated for launch before the end of 2025, though this timeline will be shaped by how players respond during the early access phase.
As the countdown to the early access release of Lost Skies begins, all eyes are on Bossa Games to see how the game performs after the challenges the studio has faced. Early access is rarely flawless, but with the growing excitement around Lost Skies, there’s hope that the game will continue to win over players in the months ahead.
