Lost Skies

Lost Skies, sometimes called simply Skies or Lost Skies PC, is an open-world survival action-adventure from Bossa Studios and published by Humble Games. The game mixes third-person exploration, skyship building, and co-op survival in a shattered world of floating islands. It’s not just about flying around – it’s about creating, surviving, and discovering why everything fell apart in the first place. Early Access is set for April 18, 2025, with full release planned for September 17, 2025 on Steam.

What is Lost Skies?

At its core, Lost Skies is a TPP action game with survival elements. You start as a lone wanderer, dropped into a broken land where the ground itself drifts in the air. Need a ride? Build your own airship. Need safety? Upgrade it into a fortress. And if you’re thinking about going solo, that works – but the game also supports online co-op for up to 6 players. Lesson learned: sharing resources makes survival less painful.

Gameplay Basics

Movement is flexible and fun. Climb, glide, or grapple your way across cliffs and islands. The game rewards creativity – sometimes the shortest path is a risky jump with a wingsuit, sometimes it’s climbing inch by inch with your hook. Combat comes in two flavors: on-foot duels with enemies lurking in ruins, and high-stakes sky battles against massive bosses that feel like moving fortresses. Standing still? Not an option.

• Explore floating islands full of resources, relics, and secrets
• Craft and customize your skyship – from a nimble scout to a heavy cruiser
• Use grappling hooks, gliders, and wingsuits for free movement
• Face ancient guardians, drones, and colossal sky creatures
• Play solo or co-op with up to 6 players online

Shipbuilding and Crafting

The ship is your lifeline. It’s your base, your weapon, and your travel companion. Every piece you add matters – weight, balance, durability. Want cannons on every side? Sure, but good luck with fuel and handling. Want a sleek design that slips past storms? Possible, but don’t expect it to tank heavy hits. The crafting system makes you think, but it never punishes you for trying wild designs. It’s like LEGO with consequences.

World and Atmosphere

Every island feels different. Some hide lush greenery, others are barren and dangerous. Weather shifts fast – storms hit hard and force you to adapt. Exploration isn’t just about sightseeing; it’s about risk and reward. Sometimes you’ll find ancient tech, sometimes just broken ruins. Need a challenge? You got it.

Community and Creation

Lost Skies doesn’t end with the developers’ map. The Island Creator lets you design and share your own floating worlds through the Steam Workshop. That means endless content from the community. Don’t feel like building? Download someone else’s wild island and see if your ship can survive it.

If you enjoyed titles like Light No Fire, Windbound, or Void Sails, Lost Skies will feel like home. It’s survival and creativity blended with just enough chaos to keep you on your toes.

In short, Lost Skies is about freedom in the skies, survival with friends, and the thrill of building something that’s truly yours. It’s not trying to hold your hand – it’s handing you the keys to a flying machine and saying: figure it out. And honestly? That’s half the fun.
