What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

After three years of development – including a year and a half in Pre-Alpha – Skye: The Misty Isle reached a significant milestone. Your participation in Early Access has been vital, and while the launch did not go the way we had hoped, we will continue listening to player feedback. While active development is currently paused, your support and feedback have made this journey truly unforgettable.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

Development was originally structured into distinct phases based on the nine Norse realms, with Early Access set to begin in Phase 0.3, Muspelheim, and feature six major updates leading to the full release. At this time, with active progress on hold, we cannot offer a clear timeline for additional updates. We will continue to share any new information as it becomes available.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

Although further expansions were on our roadmap, these plans are now on hold as we take stock of our progress. The full release envisioned a richer narrative following Einar’s transformation from curious explorer to legendary raider, alongside comprehensive performance and visual enhancements.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Alpha Early Access launched in June 2024 with Phase 0.3, Muspelheim, showcasing the initial regions of Norway and Skye, 15 settlements, and 140 encounters and points of interest. This snapshot reflects our accomplishments to date, even as active updates are paused. For a detailed look, please visit our YouTube channel for the Early Access Dev Diary.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

The pricing for a full release has yet to be finalized. Historically, the Early Access phase has offered a unique window into our evolving game, and any future pricing may adjust to reflect the additional features and content anticipated for the final version.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Even as our active development cycle is on hold, we remain committed to keeping you informed. All updates and news are available on our Steam page and social channels. We continue to welcome your comments, suggestions, and feedback—so join our community channels, participate in polls, ask questions, and chat with the devs. Follow and wishlist to stay connected!

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. We value your enthusiasm and support as we navigate this necessary pause.
Skål,
The Aurora Team 🌙”
