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. 

Forever Skies developer Far From Home announced their official partnership with PlayStation.

Alongside development support and funding, the partnership will allow Forever Skies to debut in full on PS5 and PC (Steam) in 2024.

The team has reassured players that the PC version currently in Steam Early Access will not be affected whatsoever. Forever Skies will make its console debut on PlayStation 5 in tandem with the launch of the full version on Steam once Early Access has been completed.

“Far From Home has teamed up with PlayStation to focus on making Forever Skies the best it can be for its console debut. So, at the end of PC Early Access when we're ready to release the full game, we'll be launching it on PlayStation 5 for consoles. Worry not though, this will not affect the ongoing development or release of the Steam version which will come out at the same time.” - Andrzej Blumenfeld, Forever Skies Gameplay Lead

The final version of the game will support both single-player and up to 4-player co-op.

The team has also just released its latest patch on Steam that adds more than 45 quality-of-life improvements while the next major content update for the game is set for March / April 2024. The update will add the next story chapter, complex airship gardening systems, new locations, and new equipment.

Forever Skies is 20% off on Steam starting on February 15th.
