Gas up your airships as Black Skylands prepares for full launch on consoles and PC on August 3rd.
After over three years in Early Access, Black Skylands, the steampunk action-adventure game, is preparing to depart Early Access and offer players a brand-new experience on all consoles on August 3rd, 2023. In this top-down shooter, players will 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. Black Skylands presents an immersive world hidden above the clouds, where players will engage in epic battles against pirates, monsters, and other sinister foes. With the freedom to customize airships, gather treasures, and solve mind-bending puzzles, Black Skylands offers a fresh take on the top-down action-adventure genre.
For players who have already delved into Black Skylands during Early Access, the game has made significant strides through four substantial updates that have greatly improved the overall player experience while expanding the game’s story. One of the latest features introduced in the updates allows players to upgrade their weapons and ships, offering a wide range of options from crossbows to rocket launchers. With nearly 30 modification choices for each, players can customize their arsenal to suit their unique playstyle. It is crucial, however, for players to strategize when modifying their weapons and airships, as battles will take place both on land and in the skies.
Fight in the skies and on land: Black Skylands offers a seamless combination of aerial and ground fighting tactics, empowering players to use dozens of upgradeable weapons from their arsenal to overcome their adversaries.
Gather resources and upgrade your flying base: Players can create powerful artifacts, tinker in the workshop, and construct buildings to improve their capabilities and expand their reach in the game.
Improve your ship: Choose from a maneuverable sloop, a spacious barge, or something in between, tailoring the airship to match your preferred playstyle.
Save the inhabitants of Aspya: As players progress through the game, they will have the opportunity to free the islands and aid in their restoration after pirate attacks, making a positive impact on the world.
Explore an expansive open world: Black Skylands invites players to traverse diverse environments such as forests, farms, snowy lands, deserts, and the ruins of the Eternal Storm. Discovering unseen wonders and uncovering secrets will be an integral part of the gameplay experience.
Go on raids to test yourself: Once players have completed the main storyline, they can embark on numerous challenging raids, battling hordes of enemies and earning unique rewards.
To assist Eva on her journey, Black Skylands will be welcoming new pilots starting August 3rd. Whether you are a veteran player who has been eagerly awaiting the game’s full release or a newcomer ready to explore the rich and captivating world of Black Skylands, the game promises an exciting adventure filled with action, customization, and discovery. Prepare to soar through the skies and embark on an epic quest to save the hidden world above the clouds in Black Skylands, coming to consoles and PC on August 3rd, 2023.
