Astrolabe Interactive’s cooperative survival game titled “Aloft” will debut in Early Access on PC via Steam on January 15th, 2025. Originally planned for a fall release, the developer decided additional refinement was necessary, resulting in a delay until next year.

Although the developer hasn’t shared any specific plans for a console release yet, an Early Access launch would be advantageous in ensuring Aloft is at its optimal state before console launches are initiated. Lately, the developer has unveiled their post-launch strategy, which outlines additional content, features, improvements, and other updates that players can expect after the game’s release.

Astrolabe Interactive, the creators of Aloft, shared a developer update on the Steam News page about their plans for the post-launch roadmap in 2025. In this post, they stated that their aim is to keep players informed about what they can anticipate from them throughout the year, which can be simply put as “sharing our plans for the co-op survival game this year.”

Initially, let’s tackle in-game problems and optimization to ensure the best performance. We understand that focusing on new features won’t make a difference if the game isn’t running optimally. Rest assured, we are fully committed to addressing these issues continuously.

According to the image shown, here’s a preview of various elements, improvements, enhancements, and more that Aloft is intending to roll out around 2025:

1. Content: New types of engaging content will be introduced.
2. Features: The hotel will offer innovative features designed for an enhanced guest experience.
3. Optimizations: Efficiency improvements will be made across various aspects of the hotel’s operations.
4. More: Additional elements and surprises are in store for Aloft guests.

  • Buildings Pieces and Decorations: Animal accessories, building condition rewards, food decor items, clothing mannequins, training dummies, and more building options and resource varieties.
  • Feature Improvements: Improvements to the game’s ecosystem, day-to-day activities, and combat and its rewards, new Glider and Sail upgrades, new monster and tool tiers, and additional crafting options and resources.
  • New Features: Animal reproduction, compass, emotes and social interaction features, life trees, more biomes and playable island areas, and new animals, insects, and beekeeping.
  • Quality of Life (QoL): Improvements for the Tablemap and several UX and UI, additional Steam Workshop functionality, more tutorial quests, and increased island diversity and Points of Interest (POIs).

Finally, the developer has not disclosed a specific timeline regarding when new content, features, improvements, and more will become available on Aloft in 2025. Consequently, we will create a patch notes page that summarizes all the latest game updates and adjustments made to the balance of the co-op survival game. It is suggested that Sky Sailors keep up with the game’s official Discord server and social media channels for real-time updates.
