Introduction

Astrolabe Interactive and publisher Funcom have today announced the launch of the largest update yet for their tranquil sandbox survival game, 'Aloft', titled 'Bloom & Blight'. This major update aims to enrich players' experiences with a variety of new features, including world generation enhancements, ecosystem restoration, and a revamped tech tree that provides a grander sense of purpose and discovery. The new trailer showcases the beautiful transformation of this floating world.

A New World Awaits

The improved world generation system lays a more flexible and stable foundation for future updates. Players can now soar from island to island exploring ancient ruins, gathering adorable creatures, upgrading airships, and restoring ecosystems on islands filled with saplings of new life. Each adventure promises to be denser and more captivating than ever before.

Heal the Ecosystem, Revitalize the Sky

The ecosystem designed for ecological restoration has evolved into an intuitive and immersive mini-game, fine-tuning the balance of flora, fauna, and fungi. New life forms like the Tree of Life await discovery, allowing players to enhance their tech tree by accumulating insight at the Fountain of Knowledge. While navigating the skies, players can find Knowledge Stones, Corroded Anomalies, and Lost Anchors, each contributing to technology related to 'Knowledge', 'Research', and 'Navigation'.

Harness the Wind, Explore Untamed Islands

Featuring smoother travel between clusters of islands, players can now unlock wind routes that lead to drifting islands and hidden secrets by utilizing lost maps. The update gets even more thrilling with the introduction of new corrosion types called Sportox and Frogada, alongside upgraded powerful tier weapons such as Windstone and Jagged Bone. Combat has never felt more strategic with these new additions.

A Seamless Blend of Exploration and Growth

The 'Bloom & Blight' update perfectly intertwines exploration, growth, and action, further enhancing players' journeys with a profound sense of purpose and meaning. Build your unique sky home amid the floating islands and reclaim the healing world.

The Journey of Aloft Continues

Since its early access launch in January 2025, 'Aloft' has rolled out three significant updates: 'Critters & Wonders', 'Puzzles & Pyrologics', and now 'Bloom & Blight'.
