Journey through a beautiful, melancholic world

Putting an emphasis on fluid movement, Fading Skies allows you to leap, dash and fly through various colorful landscapes—from vibrant meadows to thundering canyons. Exploration and curiosity are always rewarded, with environments packed with hidden collectibles, upgrades, and environmental mini-challenges. 

Your dragon companion is not just an adorable sidekick, but also the source of your powerful magical abilities. By absorbing the dark energy from defeated foes, your partner grows ever stronger, granting you increasingly powerful skills to traverse the seamless open world and access previously unreachable areas.

Combat involves strategic boss battles that also let you take full advantage of the environment and Ryn’s agile movements. Summon a magic sword and bow, use a variety of upgradable special abilities and call upon cheeky spirit allies to overcome your adversaries.

At the core of the experience lies a heartfelt, character-driven tale of self-discovery, human nature and a world facing collapse. You'll uncover a past veiled in mystery, where each revelation pulls you deeper into an emotional narrative. Mending broken bonds is the key to both past and future, but can you trust those closest to you, or are they part of the looming catastrophe?

About Distant Blue:

Distant Blue was founded in 2019 by Ronja and Marc Fleps, a now husband-and-wife game development duo. They are dedicated to crafting vibrant worlds to explore, exciting stories to get invested in, and memorable character to grow attached to. Their goal is to create immersive experiences that not only entertain but linger with players long after the credits roll.

With years of experience in the AA games industry—Ronja as a programmer and Marc as an animator and technical artist—they bring their lifelong passion for games into reality. Their vision is supported by collaborations with talented external artists, including music by Andreas Scheffer (featuring lyrics and vocals by Emi Evans), voice acting by Madeline Dorroh, concept art by JG Houston, and 3D character art by Jacob Ovrick and Álvaro Ruiz.

Their debut title, Fading Skies, is a heartfelt love letter to the games that shaped them growing up. It serves as a vibrant homage to beloved classics of the PlayStation 2 and GameCube era, thoughtfully re-envisioned to deliver a fresh, contemporary experience.
