In the survival game on Steam, the Earth has long ceased to be the home of humanity: Your task is to find out what is happening to the planet. Your flying base plays a significant role in this.
What kind of game is this? Forever Skies is an open-world survival game from the development studio Far From Home. The game was released in Early Access on June 22, 2023, so the developers are still actively working on it.
- Here is the game on Steam
On December 9, 2024, the development team released a major update. This comes with a co-op mode for up to 4 players and many other innovations. You can see the trailer for this update here:
Post-apocalypse from a completely new perspective
What is the game about? In Forever Skies, you explore an Earth destroyed by environmental disasters. Its surface is covered under a thick layer of toxic dust, and humanity has long abandoned the planet.
100 years after the devastation of the planet, you return to Earth. However, the world you find is completely different: Strange animals and plants now inhabit a planet that is barely habitable for humans.
In the remnants of the old world, you search for answers: What happened on Earth 100 years ago? Why did humans leave it? Moreover, you are looking for a cure for a disease that threatens your family.
At the center of the game is the construction of your own airship. This flying base not only offers a beautiful view of the destroyed world, but can also be expanded as desired. There, you also craft new items and analyze samples you found on the ground.
Co-op mode and revision of game mechanics
What’s new in the game? The “World Evolved & Co-op” update includes a co-op mode for up to 4 players, as mentioned. You can play this in a closed lobby with friends or in an open lobby, which anyone can join. The gameplay loop of Forever Skies has also changed significantly with the update. You can read more about it in a post by the developers on Steam.
If you’re looking for a co-op adventure in space, you should take a closer look at Void Crew. The game recently came out of Early Access on Steam and is recommended by most players. You can read more about it here: A new space game on Steam ruins friendships, and players love it
