'Black Skylands' Gets New Early Access Launch Date

by Rainier on June 11, 2021 @ 5:10 p.m. PDT

Black Skylands is an open-world, top-down shooter set on breathtaking floating islands where you locate the spawning nest of the enemy, discover its secrets, and defeat all the bosses.

Prepare to set sail...through the skies!

Build your skyship and explore the open world, fight factions of pirates and monsters, claim your territory by foot or by your flying vessel. You're the captain and the sky is the limit in this skypunk Open World action adventure combining sandbox, top-down shooter and action/adventure.

Many years ago, Earth turned into thousands of islands floating in the air. In the new world, peoples of Aspya used to live in peace...until vicious raiders invaded their island homelands.

You are Eva, a proud daughter of the Earners. The Kain's Falcons—cold-blooded bandits from the Desert Lands—destroyed the Earners’ Fathership and took your father’s life. Driven by revenge, you have to rebuild your aerial home “from the deck up”, arm and prepare for battle.

However, the Kain’s Falcons are not the only threat you are about to face. Deep in the depths of the Black Skylands, the mysterious Swarm lurks…

Prepare for battle... AGAIN!

Originally revealed to be releasing on June 11th, the team at tinyBuild and Hungry Couch Games made the difficult choice to delay ever-so-slightly to ensure they get the Early Access launch of Black Skylands just right.

Today, they are pleased to reveal their highly-anticipated open-world action-adventure will be launching into Steam Early Access on July 9th, 2021.

Key Features:

  • Fight in the skies and on land - Combine aerial and ground combat, having dozens of weapons in your arsenal. Encountered a group of enemies that is too tough for you to handle? Execute an aerial attack! And don’t forget to use your trusty grappling hook to throw enemies into the cloudy abyss.
  • Customize your vessel and weaponry - Choose a skyship that fits your playstyle, be it a small maneuverable boat or a heavy machine with a high-capacity cargo hold. When on foot, harness the power of firearms by enhancing them with different mods and using special abilities to destroy your foes.
  • Build, expand and protect your aerial base - Make your trusty Fathership an impregnable flying fortress and repel intruders’ attacks. Resources you gather can be used to build facilities aboard the Fathership. For example, a Workshop lets you acquire useful upgrades for airships & weapons, a Factory processes resources and a Laboratory allows you to create powerful artifacts. Also, make sure to construct buildings like Gardens and Ranches to grow & harvest crops. Keep your people well-fed!
  • Capture territories - Craft alliances and clear out occupied lands to expand the power of your faction. New resources, researches, characters and other features become available as you grow your influence.
  • Explore a sprawling open world - Venture into the skies and discover countless floating lands full of secrets & loot. Travel across forests, farms, snowy lands, urban jungle and the mysterious Black Skylands themselves. Discover ancient secrets and take risks to unleash power behind them.

Black Skylands is coming to PC (Steam) in 2022
