Steampunk action-adventure game is preparing to depart Early Access for a brand-new experience
[Bellevue, Washington/ June 11, 2023] - After over three years in Early Access, Black Skylands - the top-down shooter is preparing for a landing on all consoles on August 3, 2023. Join the fearless pilot, Eva, and her loyal moth Luma as they soar through the skies on a mission to save their home from dangerous enemies. Prepare for epic battles against pirates, monsters, and other sinister foes that lurk in a world hidden above the clouds. With the freedom to customize airships, gather treasures, and solve mind-bending puzzles; players will enjoy Black Skylands, and its fresh take on the top-down action-adventure genre.
For those who have already delved into Black Skylands during Early Access, the game has made great strides, receiving four significant updates that have improved the overall player experience while also expanding the game’s story. One of the latest features allows weapon and ship upgrades, from crossbows to rocket launchers. With nearly 30 modification options each, players can customize their arsenal to suit their unique playstyle. However, it is crucial to be strategic when modifying weapons and airships, as battles will take place both on land and in the skies.
Main Features:
- Fight in the skies and on land: Combine aerial and ground fighting tactics by using dozens of upgradeable weapons from your arsenal.
- Gather resources and upgrade your flying base: Create powerful artifacts, tinker in the workshop, and construct buildings
- Improve your ship: A maneuverable sloop, a spacious barge, or something in between — choose the airship that fits your playstyle.
- Save the inhabitants of Aspya: Free the islands and help restore them after pirate attacks.
- Explore an expansive open world: Travel through forests, farms, snowy lands, deserts and the Eternal Storm ruins, and discover things no one has ever seen before.
- Go on raids to test yourself: Finished the main storyline? Take on tons of different challenges, destroy hordes of enemies, and get unique rewards.
To assist Eva on her journey, Black Skylands will be welcoming new pilots starting August 3rd. Wishlist the game on Steam or join the community’s Discord to stay up to date on the game’s launch. Those interested in piloting their airship can request a game key by filling out this form.
