Aloft Devs Unveil Early Access Post-Launch Roadmap Highlights Forthcoming Content, Features And More

Astrolabe Interactive's co-op survival game Aloft will launch into Early Access exclusively for PC via Steam on 15th January 2025. The co-op survival game was initially slated for release last fall; however, the developer cited that it needed more time for extra polish, pushing its release to January 2025.

While the developer has yet to indicate plans for a console launch, it will greatly benefit from an Early Access launch to get Aloft in the best possible state before plans to release the game to consoles can begin. More recently, the developer has revealed their post-launch roadmap, which details forthcoming content, features, optimizations, and more on the way.

Aloft's developer, Astrolabe Interactive, published a developer post on the game's Steam News page containing information on the game's post-launch roadmap plans for 2025. According to this post, the intention behind outlining what's to come for the co-op survival game is "to be transparent with what you can expect from us this year."

"First things first, resolving in-game issues and optimization will be our top priority. We know adding new things won't matter as much if the game isn't running as smoothly as it should. So, fret not, we will be on that non-stop," the statement continues.

Based on the image provided, below is a summary of some of the content, features, optimizations, and more being planned and coming to Aloft sometime in 2025:

• 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).

Lastly, the developer has yet to provide further information on the expected timeframe as to when these forthcoming content, features, optimizations, and more will arrive to Aloft in 2025. As such, we'll provide a patch notes page detailing all the latest game updates and balance changes released for the co-op survival game, as Sky Sailors are recommended to follow the game's official Discord server and social media platforms for up-to-the-minute updates.
