Airborne Empire takes flight

Dateline: 4/17/2026

Airborne Empire is now available in full release on Steam.

From Stray Fawn Publishing:

In Airborne Empire, players guide a flying city across the skies while uniting distant kingdoms. Over the past year, Airborne Empire has expanded significantly through Early Access updates, introducing a massive biome expansion, Hard Mode, Pacifist Mode, Creative Mode, and a 20-stage Survival Mode.

The 1.0 release adds a brand-new snow-covered biome featuring fresh quests, a formidable boss fight, and powerful new upgrades including a jet engine that propels the city into high-speed flight.

This aerial RPG-citybuilder combines role-playing, construction, and open-world exploration high above the clouds. Players guide a flying city across ever-changing biomes, recruit a cast of avian allies, and unlock upgrades to keep their civilization aloft. But danger is always close—sky pirates threaten to bring everything crashing down.

Airborne Empire is the follow-up to The Wandering Band’s BAFTA-nominated Airborne Kingdom. This new, standalone experience brings expanded world exploration, deeper role-playing mechanics, and colorful characters, as well as all-new combat.

Airborne Empire is available on Steam for $29.99, with a 50 percent launch discount bringing the price down to $14.99.
