tinyBuild and Hungry Couch Games have announced that Black Skylands has officially left early access and launched on all major consoles and PC. Players can take to the skies on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, EGS, and GoG for $19.99.
Players will take on the role of a young pilot named Eva, who is working to protect her home from bloodthirsty sky pirates. Her goal? Build one of the best airships Aspya has ever seen.
Developers released a brand new launch trailer to showcase how the game plays and some of the features fans can expect.
The game offers players a pixel universe that has received four major updates while in early access. It is packed with “endless surprises” and “hidden treasures,” according to developers. With its unique blend of genres, players will get to experience to-down shooter action combined with ship-to-ship combat, exploration, crafting, and much more.
