Black Skylands Is A Steampunk Action Game Slated For This Summer

Black Skylands is shaping up to be a promising steampunk open-world action-adventure title in its current Early Access state. It’s a top-down action game ala Hotline Miami, you control a giant ship to deal with other sky pirates and rogues, and it’s full of secrets and treasure.

So it’s only a matter of time until it leaves its current state to be a full-fledged launch title. Publisher tinyBuild and developer Hungry Couch announced that Black Skylands will be out of Early Access from PC, as well as out for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch later this Summer 2023.

Check out the game’s features and console announcement trailer below:
