Players will carve out their own role in the vast regions and cities of The Skies with the fully customizable role system and strong focus on freedom of player choice.

The Skies’ Closed Beta has been a resounding success with players and journalists alike. Travis Crawford of ScionStormTV stated, “I did have fun roaming around with no linear gameplay. So I’m going to stick around in this one a little while. And keep an eye on it to see how it progresses.”

Suzie Ford of MMORPG.com talked about the early excitement surrounding The Skies, “Quickly getting the thumbs up on Steam Greenlight and generating chatter at IndieDb, The Skies seemed ready to claim its niche.”
