Developer Far From Home has announced that its co-op survival game Forever Skies will be exiting Early Access on April 14. The release date was announced alongside a trailer which you can check out below.
The major update that will accompany Forever Skies alongside its 1.0 release will bring with it a host of new content, including biomes, new locations, and the final chapter to the game’s story. Details about the some of these new additions were revealed back in February.
Two of the new biomes coming to Forever Skies are the Silent City Biome and the Overgrown Ruins Biome. While more details about these new biomes weren’t revealed, the studio did mention that the 1.0 release of Forever Skies will bring in new technology to the game that helps with the procedural generation of new biomes during play. These biomes will also be home to specific resources that players can target.
With the major update, players will also be able to visit many new locations, including the Workshop, where players can find the Laser Cutting Tool. This tool can be used for quite a few things, including cutting open the locks on supply containers that players can find all over the game’s world.
Some of the new points of interest that players will be able to check out, aside from isolated supply containers include strange murals that tell different stories and expand on the game’s lore, as well as colossal lifeforms that can be an incredible challenge for players that decide to pick a fight.
Alongside the big 1.0 release for Forever Skies, the studio has also revealed its roadmap for the rest of 2025. Summer will see the Airship Expansion update, and December will be getting a seasonal event. Between the two, Fall will be also be getting a major content update that has currently not been revealed.
For players that might want to check out some of the new content coming to Forever Skies‘ 1.0 release, an early version of the update will be coming to the beta branch of Forever Skies on March 25. Since this is primarily for testing the new features out, expect plenty of bugs when you’re playing on the beta branch.
Far From Home COO Wojciech Liwanowski had spoken about some of the things the studio had learned from the Early Access launch of Forever Skies. In an interview with GamingBolt, Liwanowski also spoke about competing in a genre that has quite a few other games out there, as well as post-launch support plans for Forever Skies after its Early Access run is complete.
“We absolutely will be adding to the game post-launch, but the exact ‘what’ is going to be decided on mainly by the community feedback,” said Liwanowski back in April 2024. “We’re already using community to steer a lot of the development, but post 1.0 launch we’re going to be leaning towards them even more. Once our planned vision is done, the best we can do is keep asking players to talk to us and tell us what else they want in the game.”
Forever Skies is currently available on PC as an Early Access title on Steam. The game wis also slated for release on PS5 on the same day.
