In the cooperative survival game Lost Skies on Steam, you explore floating islands alone or with friends on your self-built airship and engage in war against giant monsters.
What kind of game is Lost Skies? Lost Skies is a cooperative survival adventure where you can freely explore your surroundings alone or with up to six players. As the last survivors, you fight your way through a devastated open world and pilot customizable airships.
You explore floating islands using grappling hooks and parachutes, discovering the secrets of the civilization’s downfall along the way.
The sandbox MMO Worlds Adrift by the developer already featured giant airships and flying islands. Why the servers of Worlds Adrift were shut down, the developer explains in a video.
Content of Lost Skies will include exploring ancient technologies, weathering wild storms, and battling massive threats. The developers promise a wealth of features on Steam.

What’s the deal with the airships? The shipbuilding system in Lost Skies is unique and allows players to design the hull in detail. Individual parts can be placed freely, but you should consider the quality and weight of the materials used.
“Your skyship is not only your home in the clouds, but also your warship that you take into battle and fight for survival in treacherous weather,” says Bossa Games (via PC Gamer).
Early Access is Not Planned
When does Lost Skies come out? The release of Lost Skies is scheduled for 2024. So far, the developer studio Bossa, along with Humble Games, aims for a release only for PC on Steam. According to FAQs on the game’s website, no early access is planned.
However, it might be that the community will have access to alpha and beta versions before the launch to test features and gather feedback.
The developers’ focus is on providing a complete gaming experience at a fair price at launch. Free and paid updates are also planned to expand Lost Skies even after launch.
