Project Oxygen Officially Revealed As Forever Skies

Far From Home has officially revealed Forever Skies, a sci-fi survival-action game set to launch in Early Access in 2022.

Originally announced as Project Oxygen in August 2020, Forever Skies is the debut game from Polish studio Far From Home, which is made up of talent that has worked on games such as the Dying Light and Divinity Original Sin series, The Medium and Chernobylite.

The story is set on Earth after an ecological disaster made it uninhabitable for humans. You play as a scientist who has returned to the deserted planet to explore the ruins and investigate the catastrophe that caused humanity to abandon ship as well as search for a cure for those few who survived and remain in orbit. Speaking of ships, in Forever Skies, players will have their own airship, which will not only be your mode of transport but also your shelter, workshop for crafting and laboratory for research.

Far From Home says that gameplay will include exploration, crafting, base building, planting, combat, and scientific research. Initially, it will be a single-player experience, however a co-op mode is planned to launch during the Early Access period. Furthermore, a console version of the game will be available at a later date. Key features of the game include:

• Return To Earth – Take on the role of a scientist returning to Earth devastated by a global ecological disaster. This event caused the surface of the planet to be covered in a colossal layer of toxic dust, forcing humanity to build massive towers to try to survive.
• Build & Control Your Advanced Airship – Build and customize a high-tech airship. It will be your home, workshop, laboratory. Extract and gather resources to improve it to make it fit your gaming tactics.
• Utilize Science To Survive – Analyze scanned items and reverse engineer lost technology. Research new ways of obtaining food, resources, new tools and more.
• Scavenge Ruined Skies – Explore and discover the remains of our civilization. Extract resources from the ruins that were built up high to escape the dust. Find out what happened and how we lost Earth.
• Descend Below The Dust – Discover a strange new world that changed with the absence of humanity. Hunt for viral pathogens, use them as weapons or better yourself with viral boosts.
• Fight for Your Life – Below the dust lies a totally new ecosystem so expect a fight against evolved and dangerous creatures.

While it’s only a teaser, I am excited about the potential of Forever Skies – the premise certainly has me intrigued. Hopefully, we get to see it in action soon.
