Build your own airship and amass creature companions as you venture through the untamed skies!
Toronto, Canada – February 12th, 2026 – Indie developer Blue Isle Studios (Valley, Leap, Citadel: Forged With Fire) are launching the gameplay demo for their upcoming survival and crafting game Guardians of the Wild Sky during steam Next Fest February 23rd-March 2nd. Due later this year on Steam Early Access, Guardians of the Wild Sky lets you tame a wilderness of floating isles and majestic creatures alone or with friends as you take to the skies in your custom built airship. To commemorate the new demo, Blue Isle has dropped a new trailer showcasing the wonders that await in the full game.
Guardians of the Wild Sky puts players in a world of wonder, full of magical creature companions called Guardians. Collecting these mythic animals allows you to call on them to help you build bases, fight alongside you, allow you to transform into them, and man your airship. You can even crossbreed Guardians, combining their traits into something new to suit your playstyle. By feeding, grooming and caring for your Guardians, you can forge loyal companions to accompany you on your journeys.
Creativity is key to surviving this wilderness of floating isles, as you’ll have to forge your own bases and airships to traverse the skies. Create anything you can imagine, from cozy cottages to flying castles to mighty warships to make the heavens roar. If you can dream it, you can build it!
Explore a living, breathing world full of dungeons, caves, floating islands, and buried treasure. Tackle optional challenges like infiltrating cultist bases or defeating massive Titan and Eternal beasts for greater rewards. Or chill out and relax with some cooking, farming and fishing (even in clouds!). Whether you’re an intrepid explorer or a cozy homesteader, Guardians of the Wild Sky offers an expansive world full of wonder.
“We’re excited for players to finally get their hands on Guardians of the Wild Sky’s demo and hear feedback on what they think of it,” said Alex Tintor, founder of Blue Isles Studios. “It’s by far our most ambitious game yet, offering co-op adventure, a long journey, or a cozy farming game, depending on your playstyle. It’s extremely feature-rich, so we’re very curious what aspects of it will resonate most with our audience and will continue to develop it through Early Access and beyond based on player feedback.”
