Sunless Skies: Now Available on Early Access!

Sunless Sea · published 30 Aug 2017, 16:59 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The time has come! Sunless Skies, the sequel to Sunless Sea is now available for Early Access here on Steam and also Games in Development on GOG!

We are delighted to invite you from the depths of the Unterzee to join us in the gusty, undiscovered vaults of the High Wilderness. The stars are dying; they leave behind territories rich in secrets and opportunity.

Explore the Reach—the first, and most verdant, region of Sunless Skies. The Reach is designed to be a small but functional piece of the entire game. Fly a locomotive, engage in combat, experience Terror and Hunger, interact with stories, and die. A lot.

Over the coming months we’ll be adding more stories, more regions, and more complexity to its gameplay—more of everything really. If you’d like an idea of what will be initially available from the 30th August, check out our development blog from yesterday and our FAQ.

Over the past three months, 900 delicious alpha testers have been helping us uncover bugs, but if you’re looking to experience a complete game void of tech issues, we strongly recommend you wait until the game’s full release. However, if you are happy to traverse the High Wilderness first, reporting bugs and sending feedback along the way, then we hope to see you out there Skyfarer!

The feedback we received during Sunless Sea’ Early Access absolutely made it the exceptional game it is today and we can’t wait to see what you think of Sunless Skies.

And, if you’d like to pick up Sunless Sea for iPad, it’ll be on sale in celebration of the Sunless Skies Early Access launch for £6.99 / $6.99 from 30th August - 3rd September!

Thank you for your support through everything, we have the most delicious fans. See you out in space!

There are no new stories; this is a purely technical update to keep Sunless Sea playable and maintainable for as long as possible. Firstly, we’ve received a number of bug reports in recent times about players being unable to get into the game proper.

And the game that originated the universe, the Zee, and every dreadful thing in it, Fallen London , is now 15! (Anyone making calculations about how old that makes us should probably just let that thought wink out like a false-star.) In celebration, Fallen London is getting a major adapt…
