Hello skyfarers! We're ready to announce the next major update to Sunless Skies – the Vagabond update. This one will allow you to recruit a new officer: the Amiable Vagabond!

A gentleman of the skies (and no fixed abode) who will take you to the abandoned quarters of the sky. Experience a tale of fortunes lost, found, and lost again. Meet the 'skylarks': the community of ragged wanderers who rove the heavens, and help them find the way to the Sugarspun Garden - a place surely too good to be true...

The Vagabond update will also include:

Stories at more of the great Horrors and Wonders of the Skies, such as the Xanthous Moon and Regent's Tears
New agents and discoveries to encounter on your voyages
Something new in the mists of Worlebury...

It will be released next month, on 12th June.

After this update, we'll switch focus from events and encounters during journeys. Some of the things we plan to look at are character progression (particularly in the mid and late game), UI, survival and journey times.

To keep hearing about Sunless Skies development and updates, follow us on Steam or on Twitter. You can also talk to other skyfarers on the Failbetter Games Discord.
