Publisher Funcom® and developer Astrolabe® Interactive Inc. are thrilled to announce that Aloft ® has entered Early Access. The feel-good sandbox survival game, priced at 24.99€, lets you restore the ecosystems of a shattered world, solo or in groups of up to 8, by harnessing the wind and exploring the skies in your personal skyships, built from entire floating islands.
The world of Aloft is one of floating islands shaped by the wind. Soar between them on your customizable glider, gathering resources and discovering ancient technology as you go. Transform any island into your home above the clouds, and harness the wind with crafted sails, rudder, and helm. Farm, cook, care for animals, and restore the balance of nature by combating the spreading corruption.
Aloft has already attracted praise, attention, and community feedback through various successful demos, which included the first biome in the game, with some demo players even reaching over a hundred hours building and decorating their ideal home in the sky. With today’s Early Access Launch, the game has grown into three full biomes, which is set to expand further throughout the Early Access period.
Creativity and community lie at the heart of Aloft. Player-built skyships can be shared directly on the Steam Workshop for others to enjoy, and you can even bring along your entire skyship when joining a friend’s game, making it possible to create a whole moving village of eight skyships in co-op.
The Early Access Roadmap highlights the main features planned for future updates. Initial updates will focus on quickly addressing any potential bugs that appear with launch, after which the team will move on to expanding the game with quality-of-life improvements and new features. This flexible roadmap allows for adjustment of priorities based in large part on community feedback.
Aloft is available right now for 24.99€, on Steam Early Access: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1660080/Aloft/
