The cozy skies of Aloft are bursting with new life. Funcom and Astrolabe Interactive Inc. have released the first major Early Access update, “Critters & Wonders,” bringing a delightful collection of creatures and unique islands to the popular co-op sandbox survival game. After launching to very positive reviews on Steam in January, Aloft is set to soar to even greater heights with this content-rich update.
Get ready to explore a world that’s even more vibrant and inviting, as Aloft welcomes a diverse range of adorable critters to its floating islands. From buzzing bees and graceful butterflies to playful bats, leaping frogs, and scuttling lizards, there’s a whole menagerie of creatures to discover, each with its own unique color variations and rarities. Catch them with a net or lure them with tasty feed to bring them along on your adventures through the clouds. Release your newfound companions in areas where the ecosystem needs a helping hand, or display them proudly in fancy vivariums on your skyship home base.
The “Critters & Wonders” update also introduces a new type of floating island: Wonder Islands. These fixed locations offer unique rewards and discoveries, adding another layer of intrigue to Aloft’s already expansive world. The update launches with the first two Wonder Islands, with more planned for future updates, promising even more exciting opportunities for exploration and adventure.
Responding directly to community feedback, the update also allows players to designate their skyship island as a “Shared Home,” enabling unrestricted collaboration with friends and fellow players. This fosters a greater sense of community and empowers players to build and create together like never before.
“Critters & Wonders” marks just the beginning of Aloft’s Early Access journey, with many more content updates planned for the future. The skies are the limit as Funcom and Astrolabe continue to expand and enhance this charming and captivating world.
