From Press Release:
Wrocław, Poland – November 18th, 2025 | Far From Home is excited to announce that a major new update for Forever Skies is now available on PC and PlayStation®5.
A brand-new trailer showcasing the update’s key additions has also been released.
Echoes Part 1 is the first of three major updates planned for Forever Skies, developed in response to community feedback. These updates focus on expanding world diversity and refining core gameplay mechanics. While the game saw a strong launch out of Early Access in April 2025, a significant number of players voiced concerns about certain aspects, particularly repetitive environments that limited the sense of discovery, as well as gameplay systems that could feel tedious or lacking in depth.
”The feedback and reviews for Forever Skies have been consistently positive, but we saw from feedback that the game has elements that required more attention and could be improved. It’s never easy to hear that something you’ve worked on for so long didn’t meet someone’s expectations, so we took that feedback to heart. Our intention was never to walk away from Forever Skies, so we were certainly not going to call this ‘good enough’ and just move on. With Echoes Part 1 and the promise to deliver more, hopefully, it shows how much we listen to our community. We’re very excited to have the first part now in the hands of players and to work with them to add to the game together.” -Andrzej Blumenfeld, Far From Home CEO
Echoes Part 1 focuses on adding changes mainly to Biome 1 in the game, with Echoes Part 2 (set for December 2025) doing the same for Biome 2. Echoes Part 3 (set for spring 2026) will be the biggest of the three updates and will focus on changes for Biome 3 alongside other changes that will spread across the entire game.
