Aloft · published

Ahoy, Sky Sailors!  

The Gliders & Gales update gives your gliders the attention they deserve—and it’s available now! This highly-anticipated update not only expands upon glider customisation, but building and decorative pieces too! - Please head over to the complete Changelog to keep up with all the new content. 

Mix and Match Your Style 

Aloft’s first update of 2026 features 22 new glider patterns, 6 new glider shapes, 2 new glider fabric upgrades, 9 new glider Oculi with unique bonuses, and 6+ glider trails—all customisable through the glider stand! Mix and match to make gliders truly your own. 

Complete Trials to Win Rewards 

In order to glide in style, you’ll have to earn it with some highly-skilled soaring. Race to victory in the 6 new Glider Trial Wonder Islands to win unique glider shapes, then beat the additional timed trial to earn glider trails. These trials are powered by the game’s Pyrologic system.  

Gliders & Gales also features revamped glider controls for better handling and upgradeability—just in time for the new challenges! 

Piece Together the Past 

Crashed gliders and torn fabric fragments can be found scattered across the islands. Explore the isles to gather fabric fragments, repair broken gliders and uncover their long-lost glider patterns!  

Building & Decoration Pieces 

Not only can you showcase your custom gliders with brand-new displays, we’ve also added over 200 miscellaneous building and decoration pieces ranging from furniture, tool racks, shelving, dinnerware, and much more. Clutter-core lovers, rejoice! 

More Behind the Clouds 

Gliders & Gales was shaped by your passionate and valuable feedback, and for that we’re truly grateful. Going into 2026, your feedback is more important than ever, so please keep it coming!  

May the wind guide you on your travels, Sky Sailors ⛅🍃
