Originally announced under the codename “Project Oxygen”, Forever Skies has been in the making for over two years from former AA and AAA devs who worked on titles such as Dying Light, Dying Light 2, Dead Island, The Medium, Chernobylite and the Divinity Original Sin Series.

You play as a lone scientist in Forever Skies, returning to Earth long after a global ecological catastrophe has left the planet uninhabitable to humans. Above the toxic clouds are the remnants of humanity's last stand. Build, expand and control a high-tech airship that will act as your transport, shelter, laboratory and workshop for researching mysterious substances and crafting tools for survival. Scavenge, find ways of obtaining food and resources, and explore the ruins above and below the thick, toxic dust layer which now shrouds the Earth’s surface. Why is the dust there? What is it exactly? And perhaps more importantly, what lies beneath it? 

Gameplay in Forever Skies will include exploration in your airship and on foot, crafting, base building, planting, combat, and scientific research in virology in search of a cure to help those few, who survive in orbit. 

Far from Home has launched a Forever Skies Kickstarter campaign, looking to raise $21,180, in order to answer fans asking if there is a way to support the game now and get something special in return. 

The rewards are all digital and have been planned out to have minimal impact on development. A collection of special in-game items that backers will have some say in how they look are the main elements along with a few other bonuses such as getting the game a few days before the official launch. 

“We’ve seen the request for some kind of “backers edition” quite a lot since we put out our demo. Kickstarter was the easiest and safest way to let us do this and still offer some sort of personalization”  - Pawel Jawor, Brand Manager, Far From Home  

Despite the nature of Kickstarter being for projects that need extra funding to get made, the Forever Skies team have made it very clear this campaign is just for fans who want to support the game and that funding for the launch of the game is secured. 

“This campaign is designed solely to allow us an easy and convenient way to offer fans a version of the game that has a few more personal extras. Our Early Access development is fully funded and we will be launching the game before June 2023 no matter how this campaign goes.” - Pawel Jawor, Brand Manager, Far From Home

Forever Skies is coming to Steam Early Access in first half of 2023, but a playable demo is currently available.
