Patch Ver.1.2.1 launch, January sale and over 500,000 copies sold!

We’ve got a few quick updates for you, so let’s get stuck in:

JANUARY PATCH

Following your feedback from the launch of Echoes Part 2 in December, we’ve prepared and released a reasonably sized patch today. It mainly covers QoL improvements, many bug fixes and some performance improvements (with more on the way soon!)

But it also includes some new paints for the glass windows on your airship! The full patch notes are at the bottom of this post for your perusal.

START OF 2026 SALE

Along with the patch, we’re also running a Steam sale with 45% off, so this is the perfect time to annoy your friends and tell them you want to share your lonely airship with them.

We’ve also put together a number of bundles with studios and games we’re friends with, so be sure to take a look:

500,000 SCIENTISTS DETECTED!

To wrap up, we want to thank every single one of you who has helped us cross this major milestone. Especially for a new studio releasing its very first game, reaching over half a million copies sold is something truly special!

Achievements like this allow us to stay independent and continue supporting the game with major free updates, just like we’ve done with Echoes Part 1 and Part 2 since leaving early access.

On the topic of Echoes updates, Part 3 is shaping up to be something quite big, as mentioned in the roadmap, we are looking at Spring 2026 for release. But we will of course be sharing details on what’s coming, as well as beta testing opportunities, well before that.
