After an extensive wait, it looks like Switch owners will soon get to embark on a horrifying space odyssey through an eldritch realm!
Publisher Digerati and developer Failbetter Games have confirmed their plans to launch Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition for Nintendo Switch and other major platforms on 19 May 2021. As reported previously, the top-down RPG sees players navigating a mysterious void with space-faring trains – all while keeping their crew members sane from nameless abominations!
This fresh release will also include new quality-of-life improvements, a revamped interface, and many more new additions to the original Sunless Skies.
Check out the latest trailer below:
The skies are yours.
Captain a spacefaring steam locomotive, as a new Victorian empire takes to the stars! Lead your hapless crew into trouble—and out of their minds. Barter for barrels of time. Smuggle souls. Pause for cricket and a cup of tea.
Unfettered by gravity, the Victorian Empire reaches across the skies. The stars are the Judgements: vast intelligences that govern all things. But they are dying.
- Create your past. Choose who you were before you became a skyfarer. Most of your captains will die. Each will leave their mark on the world.
- Explore a beautiful, hostile world. This is a standalone story set in the Fallen London universe, as seen in Sunless Sea.
- Improve your locomotive. It is all that stands between you and the Heavens.
- Populate your ship with officers. Fight marauders. Survive starvation, madness and terror.
Will you support Her Majesty’s empire, or the rebels who mean to dismantle London’s rule? Pick your side wisely, for you might be the one to tip the balance of power…
