Toronto, Canada – April 30, 2026 – Independent studio Flying Amateurs today revealed the first trailer for Above Land: Rhapsody, a 1-3 player 3D co-op action roguelite adventure coming to PC via Steam. Set in a breathtaking world above the clouds, Above Land: Rhapsody sends players into comic-book chapters filled with floating islands, colossal sky creatures called Kun, giant monsters, and weapons pulled from childhood imagination.
In Above Land: Rhapsody, players enter chapters from a comic book left behind by the player’s mother, complete each map’s challenge, bring back Stars, repair the stranded Invincible Bebe, and unlock later chapters. The journey moves between a ruined present and a lost “Yesterday” when humans and ancient giant Kun lived in harmony.
Combat is built around fast 3D action, two-weapon loadouts, and wildly different tools of destruction. Players can dual-wield any two weapons and swap between them instantly, combining classic arms with stranger options such as basketballs, folding chairs, guitars, dice, yo-yos, fireworks, drones, and more. These are not simple joke reskins: a folding chair can turn a boss fight into a wrestling-ring brawl, while a basketball rewards momentum with dribble strings, dodges, and dunk finishers.
Co-op is designed to be easy to jump into. Players can fight solo or team up with up to two friends through online drop-in/drop-out co-op, cutting through waves of enemies, discovering synergies between builds, and taking down giant bosses together without needing voice comms or high-pressure coordination.
Every player also fights alongside Wobbo, an adorable but powerful companion creature with multiple combat modes, including summon and transformation-based abilities. As players progress, Wobbo becomes part of both moment-to-moment combat and long-term build identity.
Key Features:
- 1-3 Player Co-op: Play solo or fight side by side with your friends in online drop-in/drop-out co-op as you explore floating islands in the clouds, cut through waves of enemies and conquer giant bosses. Above Land: Rhapsody is designed to feel low-pressure and welcoming, with no voice comms required.
- Ridiculous Weapons and Fluid Combat: Dual-wield any two weapons and swap between them instantly. At launch, Above Land: Rhapsody will feature 40+ weapon types, mixing classic weapons with weapons born from childhood make-believe, like folding chairs, basketballs, guitars, dice, yo-yos, spinning tops, fireworks, drones, and more, each with distinct mechanics, pacing, and upgrade paths. A folding chair can turn a boss fight into a wrestling match, while a basketball rewards momentum with dribbling strings and dunk finishers.
- Epic World Above the Clouds: Soar through a stylized-realistic Unreal Engine 5 world of floating islands, ancient ruins, cloud cities, and civilizations built on the backs of colossal Kun. Each comic-book chapter has its own ecosystem and gameplay identity.
- Wobbo Companion System: Every player fights alongside Wobbo, an adorable but powerful companion with multiple combat modes, including summon and transformation-based abilities.
- Chapter-Based Adventure and Progression: Choose chapters from Mom’s comic book, enter each map, complete its challenge, bring back Stars, repair the stranded Invincible Bebe, and unlock later chapters. Between runs, players return to the Invincible Bebe and Memory Chamber, where gathered resources feed broader progression through crafting, customization, gear, and Wobbo growth.
Above Land: Rhapsody offers an immersive adventure as you and your friends effortlessly traverse between two timelines, encounter breathtaking islands, battle a range of monsters, and hone your skills by crafting unique weapons.
