'Black Skylands' Leaving Early Access This Summer to Coincide With Nintendo Switch, PlayStation And Xbox Launch - Trailer

by Rainier on March 15, 2023 @ 2:07 p.m. PDT

Black Skylands is an open-world, top-down shooter set on breathtaking floating islands where you locate the spawning nest of the enemy, discover its secrets, and defeat all the bosses.

Prepare to set sail...through the skies!

Build your skyship and explore the open world, fight factions of pirates and monsters, claim your territory by foot or by your flying vessel. You're the captain and the sky is the limit in this skypunk Open World action adventure combining sandbox, top-down shooter and action/adventure.

Many years ago, Earth turned into thousands of islands floating in the air. In the new world, peoples of Aspya used to live in peace...until vicious raiders invaded their island homelands.

You are Eva, a proud daughter of the Earners. The Kain's Falcons—cold-blooded bandits from the Desert Lands—destroyed the Earners’ Fathership and took your father’s life. Driven by revenge, you have to rebuild your aerial home “from the deck up”, arm and prepare for battle.

However, the Kain’s Falcons are not the only threat you are about to face. Deep in the depths of the Black Skylands, the mysterious Swarm lurks…

Pilot Mode activated. Rev up your airship’s engine and prepare to explore the world of Aspya as Black Skylands will be soaring out of Early Access after two years and is landing for a full launch this summer.

Black Skylands has introduced all new skies, having received four major updates during its time in Early Access enhancing player experience while also expanding the game’s story. One of the most recent features brings 30 swarmlit amulets, new upgrade systems, new islands, enemies and bosses as well as a rewritten storyline. With tons of weapons modifications and abilities, players will be able to customize their arsenal to fit their playstyle. Being strategic in how weapons and their airship is modified will be essential as players will need to be prepared to fight on both land and in the skies.

Key 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, construct buildings, and farm the land.
  • Improve your ship: A maneuverable sloop, a spacious barge, or something in between — choose the airship that fits your playstyle.
  • Conquer new territory: Liberate occupied lands, strengthen your influence, and unlock new opportunities for yourself.
  • Explore an expansive open world: Travel through forests, farms, snowy lands, and corrupted desert islands, 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.

Black Skylands is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS45, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / GOG / Epic Games Store) in Summer 2023.
