The horizon is looking a lot more crowded—and a lot more exciting. Bohemia Interactive and Enjoy Studio have officially confirmed that their ambitious sky-faring sandbox RPG, Everwind, will launch into Steam Early Access on March 17th, 2026.

Formerly known as SkyVerse, the game has been building serious momentum since its standout performance at Steam Next Fest. With over 300,000 wishlists and a promise to blend the creative freedom of Minecraft with the immersive RPG depth of The Elder Scrolls, it’s safe to say the hype is reaching a cruising altitude.

A Home Among the Clouds

In Everwind, you aren’t just a wanderer; you’re the captain of a flying island-ship. This isn’t just a vehicle—it’s your base of operations, your crafting hub, and your primary defence against the dangers of a procedurally generated world.

Modular Ship Building: Unlike traditional static bases, your home moves with you. You’ll need to manage engines, steam levels, and fuel to reach higher altitudes and discover rare biomes.

Vertical Exploration: The world is divided into layers. You might start in the lush forest biomes at sea level, but as you upgrade your ship, you’ll pierce the clouds to find frozen cliffs and ancient, floating ruins.

Fully Destructible Environments: Want to harvest resources or simply carve your path through a mountain? The voxel-based world is entirely destructible, giving you total agency over the landscape.

Class-Based Combat and Co-op

While survival and building are core pillars, Everwind leans heavily into its RPG roots. Players can choose from three primary classes:

Warrior: For those who prefer the classic sword-and-shield approach.

Engineer: Focused on technology, machinery, and ship optimisation.

Arcanist: Masters of magical staffs and the arcane art of alchemy.

Whether you’re a solo explorer or prefer a crew, the game supports 4-player co-op. You and your friends can divide roles—one person at the helm of the ship, others manning the cannons or preparing potions—as you delve into dungeons for legendary loot.

“Everwind is something we want to make not FOR the players, but WITH the players,” says Enjoy Studio. The Early Access period is expected to last about a year, with a full 1.0 release targeted for 2027.

Final Thoughts

With its unique vertical progression and the “Skyrim-meets-Valheim” vibe, Everwind is shaping up to be one of the most refreshing sandbox experiences of the year. The shift from SkyVerse to Everwind seems to have only sharpened the team’s vision for a world that feels both vast and personal.

Wishlist it now on Steam to be ready for the March 17th launch. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the skies for more updates as we approach the big day.
