We’re now well into April, which means, as promised, we’ve got a bit of free content for you along with some extra feel-good news from the studio.

So let’s kick things off with the main attraction.

The most exciting addition to our spring update is the Winds of Change Event. In this new custom quest, you’ll help bring the season of spring into the world by solving the mystery behind a weather anomaly.

For our newer players, once you visit the Infected Garden in Biome 2, you’ll find the quest waiting for you there. For veteran players who are already past this point, your quest log will update automatically when you load up your save.

Find and collect special coins found around Radio Towers. These can then be used in a special vending machine located during the quest. Up for grabs are 5 very classy, stained-glass airship items to spruce up your airship with even more. 

We’ve also heard from some players that they feel disheartened by how quickly these timed events come and go. So for this event, we’ve decided to let it run to at least 24th June, 2026, giving you plenty of time to hop in one evening and complete the bonus quest. We also promise that all the items in this quest will be made available again at some point in the future.
The event is live right now for all players.

We’ve also teamed up with two emerging indie survival games that are both bringing something fresh and special to the survival crafting genre.

First up, we have AETHUS. Developed and published by a signle former AAA developer and his dog, this game lets you explore a vast underground world to mine, refine, and craft hundreds of items. Build up your modular surface outpost to farm hydroponic crops, prospect for gems, and automate your resource gathering in this sci-fi survival crafter where the story always gives you a reason to dig deeper.

Another game that just launched in March is Blossom: The Seed of Life. Also a solo-dev project, Blossom is like if Wall-E and Planet Crafter had an indie baby. Terraform a dead planet back to life in this open-world survival crafting game. Explore ruins, gather resources, print machines, drive modular vehicles, and grow forests, biomes, and ecosystems. Create life and help it thrive with your own hands.

If you already own Forever Skies, you can grab an extra 10% off either bundle. So if you’re looking for something to scratch that sci-fi survival indie itch, be sure to check them out.

If you remember, back in November 2025, after a barrage of requests, we launched the first stage of our Friendly Insect Buddy plushie petition for early backers through the plushie wizards over at Makeship.

To everyone who supported us, thank you so much because you absolutely knocked it out of the park and turned this idea into a reality.

We now have the official date for when the campaign opens for everyone and anyone to be able to order their own cuddly little helper bug: April 16th, 2026.

For a sneak peek, here are some DIY photos that we snapped at our offices of the first ever Friendly Insect plushie!

Recently, the Far From Home team held an internal vote and decided to virtually adopt / sponsor a group of okapis that are under the care of the Wrocław Zoo. The zoo is located in our home city, so it holds a special place in our hearts, but more importantly, it is fully accredited by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), which maintain very high standards when it comes to animal welfare and conservation initiatives. Our partnership means that a significant portion of the okapis’ care, as well as the conservation efforts carried out by Wrocław Zoo, will be supported by our contributions.

Okapis (sometimes known as forest giraffes or zebra giraffes) are classified as highly endangered and are indigenous to only a small area of land in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Thanks to you, our players, Forever Skies has achieved a strong level of success, which allows us to make these kinds of contributions and gestures. We’re hoping to do something special with this partnership in the future, but for now, here’s a small article (in Polish)[zoo.wroclaw.pl] from Wrocław Zoo announcing that we are now the okapis’ foster parents, along with some adorable pictures of these weird little dudes that we’d like you to all welcome to the Far From Home family.

That's all for today. Thanks as always for reading and supporting us!

Hello Scientists!

We’ve rolled into March, the seasons are changing, and so we’ve got a new patch for you.

Over the month of February, our team tackled a bunch of bugs you’ve helped us find, added a few QoL improvements and did some performance tweaks along the way.

One change the whole team is especially happy about deserves a special mention. Our brother-in-arms Daniel has wrestled with Unreal and come out victorious — you can now move various airship items even if other items are stacked on them, all at once. So yes, no more emptying shelves because your OCD tells you, “A little to the left. No, actually… the right.” Now, just use the Move (Z) function on the shelf, and everything it's attached to will move with it.

You can see

The full list of changes is at the bottom of this post.

Our Steam Spring Sale is live with 45% off. I mean, what better way to appreciate the sun coming out than sitting at home with the shades drawn, staring into a monitor, right?

We are also working on a little Spring Event that was meant to go alongside this patch, but we decided we still have a few small kinks we want to iron out before we go live. It includes a Spring-themed side-quest and some new Airship decor! We will aim to have this released very soon. Here is a preview of the new decor items!

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading, for playing, and for just being here with us. And remember, if you love the game, leaving a review always helps us a ton.
