Designed in Unity3D, The Skies is centered on a real-time evolving experience in which each player’s action causes a change in the world, including relationships with characters, factions and other events. Players engage in battle across the mountains in the West and the desert in the East as well as cities in the North and South. According to the legend, the great city “Skies” is mankind’s last hope for survival. Unique to The Skies is a multi-level economy system and a multi-tiered resource production system that depend on the player actions in game, a non-linear storyline where players can combine online games and a single pass, and a world that evolves and scales over time.

Conquering or liberating territories will enable players to explore a huge universe with diverse landscapes. Beyond all those territories may be found the rescue of mankind from the apocalypse and a legendary, mysterious city called “The Skies”.

The Skies will be available as Closed Steam Early Access on 8th April 2016 via Beta Keys from websites, and on April 16th everyone will be able to access Open Steam Early Access and includes Lifetime Premium Package.

Anton Paramonov, Lead Designer of The Skies and the author of the graphic novel on which the game is based is excited. “We have now brought the novel to life. Player feedback has been great so far and we can’t wait to see how this game performs prior to Open Steam Early Access”.

Open Steam Early Access will be available on 16th April 2016 and introduce players to the game’s Alpha version, including all gameplay functionalities. Updates will be provided every two weeks by the development team in preparation for the game’s Beta phase, scheduled to follow soon after. The Skies is expected to officially launch later this year.

During the first month of Steam Early Access April 16th to May 15th, players will be offered a unique lifetime membership in The Skies via the Lifetime Premium Package, priced at $15. This limited offer enables players who upgrade to a Premium Account during the launch to retain this privilege without any further need for a subscription.  After the end of the launch period, Premium Accounts will revert to a monthly subscription-based model priced at $10. This undoubtedly makes the Lifetime Premium Package superb value.
