Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire Releases On Oct 10!

Dominate the skies with your trusty airships

Yo-Ho-Ho! A New Sky Pirate RPG Game!

Spread Your Wings And Dominate The Open Skies!

Turn-based RPG Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire is soaring to the skies on Steam this Oct 10! Relive the old charm of this upcoming game, taking its roots from JRPG classics like Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and Skies of Arcadia, where you fight in the open as sky pirates.  With “stunning Studio Ghibli-inspired visuals” and the musical composition of MatĂ­as Castro, fans will surely enjoy this new and unforgettable swashbuckling experience!

As Glenn Windwalker, a young pilot forced to leave your hometown, you face the hard decision to become a Sky Pirate. Boarding your mysterious airship “Nymbus,” assemble a crew of ragtag sky pirates, upgrade their airships, and fight with them to uncover the mystery surrounding this world. However, your skyward journey will not be easy as you fight off bandits and reclaim your hometown from the Alliance, aristocrats who want to take control of the Sky Oceans.
Turn-based RPGs are great, but fighting aboard an airship is an exciting addition to this traditional formula. In a party of four, you will take the fight to the open skies using your Airjet Squad, a bunch of sky pirates aligned with your cause. The game utilizes “a reactive turn-based combat system that demands observation, planning, and adapting your strategy to ever-changing situations.” You and your crew can choose different actions during Airjet Combat, such as Attack, Special, Evade, Arsenal, and Retreat. There are also different enemy types, so exploit their weakness to gain the upper hand.

Choose the right decisions and keep your crew’s morale high to increase the chances of winning. However, you must also secure resources to feed your crew and keep the group’s harmony. Discover new places, meet a variety of people, and fulfill quests to get their loyalty or even their allegiance to your cause. 

If you are a fan of sky pirates in general and want to relive that old JRPG nostalgia, this game is right for you! It is available for purchase on Steam, Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, and Xbox digital storefront for $24.99 USD. Assemble the greatest fleet and dominate the skies in Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire!
