We probably should’ve seen this coming after Lost Skies launched its island creator demo, but now it’s official: Worlds Adrift studio Bossa Games is launching Lost Skies itself into early access later this month on April 18th. It’s a little bit more of a multiplayer survivalbox than Worlds Adrift was, though, and it has much more of a co-op rather than PvP vibe.
“Following an incredible reception at February’s Steam Next Fest and becoming one of the top played demos during the event, Lost Skies, the highly anticipated cooperative open-world survival adventure from Bossa Games, launches into Early Access on April 18th,” Bossa announced this morning. “Whether teaming up with friends or braving the skies alone, get ready to explore an extraordinary universe filled with breathtaking floating islands, rich mysteries, and ever-present dangers high above the clouds.”
“In Lost Skies, team up with up to five friends to explore four vast, unique floating islands teeming with ancient ruins, intricate puzzles, and hidden secrets. Design and build your own custom skyship that will serve as your home and warship, as you take on colossal enemies in the sky. Master the grappling hook for seamless navigation, harness advanced technology to manipulate gravity, and shape your path through the open skies full of endless possibilities.”
MOP’s Chris tinkered in the game’s demo earlier this year too if you want a closer look!
