About
Lost Skies is a cooperative survival adventure for one to six players set amongst the clouds, in a vast sky of floating islands. Find and craft ancient technology, build your own skyship, brave ferocious storms, and battle giant threats that await beyond the horizon.
Explore an Ancient World of Danger and Beauty
Embark on an adventure through the remnants of ancient civilisations. Uncover the mystery of their downfall and employ their advanced technology to aid your journey. Navigate a shattered world ravaged by storms, revel in lands reclaimed by nature, and face the colossal beings still roaming the skies that brought about humanity’s destruction.
Experience Unparalleled Freedom
Flow effortlessly through the skies’ broken landscapes with a physics-based grappling hook. Climb, glide, and fly as you use your own creativity for both traversal and dynamic combat. Enter a seamless world where you are free to travel to any landmark you can see on the horizon.
Shape Your Skyship
With a vast world to explore, you’ll need to build your own skyship to navigate the open skies. Lost Skies‘ unique ship crafting system allows you to intricately shape your ship’s hull, and freely place parts where you want, taking care to consider the quality and weight of the materials you use. Not only is your skyship your home in the clouds, it is also your warship to take into battle and survive treacherous weather.
Key Features
- Home in the Clouds – The Sky Ship is an evolution of a survival base, one you can take away with you and use to fight the elements and creatures.
- Cooperative Play Encouraged – Lost Skies is always better with friends, so there is a focus on all things cooperative and collaborative, but it’s also possible to play the game solo if you’re up for the challenge.
- Epic Adventure – These shattered lands provide the opportunity to discover a wild frontier, sailing through the clouds, exploring fascinating ruins, reclaiming strange technology and taking down colossal creatures – the freedom to reach any place you can see on the horizon.
- Survival-ish – Following a belief that the survival grind shouldn’t take over gameplay, Lost Skies is an experience that we like to call “survival-lite,” where survival elements serve the greater journey of discovery.
- Player Creation – Using the extremely powerful Island Creator, players will be able to add to the world of Lost Skies and share their creations with other players, making for an ever-increasing frontier to explore.
Lost Skies is in development for PC (Steam). A release date has yet to be announced.
