Stray Fawn will be publishing Airborne Empire in 2024
Stray Fawn has announced that they’ve scooped up the publishing duties for The Wandering Band’s upcoming city-builder Airborne Empire. The current plan is to launch it into Early Access in 2024.
Airborne Empire is the sequel to 2020’s Airborne Kingdom, a game that I can’t believe I haven’t played. It’s a game about building floating cities! However, it also ties in exploration, as a flying city is the ultimate mobile home. Airborne Empire will introduce pilots into the mix, making it so you’ll have to defend your city, as well as the cities on the surface. Airborne Kingdom was pretty well-received, so I’m interested to see how the sequel gets off the ground.
Stray Fawn is the developer behind The Wandering Village, another unique take on the city builder genre. I had a chance to talk to co-founder Philomena Schwab about the whole genre, and it’s cool to see them get into the paradoxically named indie-publishing business. Getting noticed as a small or solo developer often seems like a communal effort, so I love watching them come together to form a supergroup. Airborne Empire will actually be Stray Fawn’s second publishing deal announced, after the upcoming Earth of Oryn.
Currently, Airborne Empire has only been announced for PC and Mac, and will be entering Early Access sometime in 2024.
