With four major updates during its Early Access phase, the game has enriched its storyline and elevated the player's experience. Brace yourself for an expansive open world packed with endless surprises and hidden treasures. Accompany Eva and her loyal moth Luma, on their journey through farms, deserts, and infected lands as they strive to protect the floating islands. They could use all the help they can get!

With a unique blend of genres, Black Skylands features ship-on-ship combat, top-down shooter, exploration, and a crafting system. Each player is sure to have their own experience as they can choose to modify their airship and weapons to best suit their playstyle. From crossbows to rocket launchers, there are plenty of weapons and ship upgrades for players to discover.
