Aloft By Astrolabe Interactive Scheduled To Launch Into Early Access On January 15th

Aloft, a co-op sandbox survival game developed by Astrolabe Interactive and published by Funcom, is set to enter Early Access on January 15, 2025. The game features a captivating world of floating islands and combines crafting and survival elements.

Players can currently try a free demo available on Steam, which has been well-received since its launch in 2022. The development team, consisting of over 15 members, has actively updated the game based on user feedback.

In Aloft, players can build their own islands into skyships and embark on various side quests, such as uncovering lost knowledge, combating fungal corruption, and restoring the ecosystem. The game promises engaging gameplay mechanics and will offer both single-player and online co-op modes.

During the Early Access phase, which is expected to last about a year, players will explore three unique biomes and engage in activities beyond crafting and building, including sailing skyships, gliding, farming, and cooking. The developers plan to introduce new content, such as additional gameplay mechanics and more biomes, once the game fully launches.

It's worth noting that the game's price is anticipated to rise upon its official release. Currently, Aloft has garnered over 30,000 wishlists and positive feedback from players who enjoyed the demo.
