High Flying Gifts | Forever Skies Surprise Launches Major Update Echoes Part 2
Far From Home is excited to announce the surprise launch of Echoes Part 2, the second instalment of 3 major new updates for Forever Skies, is now available on PC and PlayStation®5.
The Echoes updates are developed in response to community feedback, focusing on expanding world diversity and refining core gameplay mechanics. While Part 2 is the smallest of the three updates, it still includes many additions requested directly by players.
With the release of Echoes Part 1 in mid-November being extremely well received by both new and existing players, the team has been able to finalize and surprise launch Part 2 now and include a timed holiday event to wrap up the year.
Key Highlights of the Echoes Part 2 Update
Desolate Radio Towers Overhaul: The Radio Towers in Biome 2 have been reworked with new modules and a system that generates towers to feel distinct and convey a sense that people once lived there.
New Landmarks: Six new unique landmarks have been added to Biome 2 to discover and explore, including the Pirate Hideout, Playground, Basketball Court, Market, Flying Theatre, and the Romeo and Juliet Theatre.
Three New Sidequests: More unique side quests that explore the stories of the world's past inhabitants.
New Devices and Decorations: Quest rewards include the Trashbin Device (to ecologically vaporize items) and the Moth Incubator (to hatch new moth breeds). Players can also find Pirate Themed Decorations.
Interactive Radar: New quality-of-life features have been added, including the ability to access the to-do list straight from the radar and a map legend to remind players what each marker means.
Frozen Wishes 2025 Event: The much-requested timed holiday event has returned and will run until January 12, 2026, offering new holiday-themed airship decor items.

Far From Home is extremely proud to be partnering with War Child UK. As a company, our belief is that games can do more than entertain; they can also be a means to help us make a meaningful, positive difference in the world. We believe the work they do is vital, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their efforts. - Andrzej Blumenfeld, CEO Far From Home
“Far From Home studio’s game, Forever Skies is a wonderful way to spend one's time and unwind before the holidays, and now all for a good cause. We're immensely grateful to the Far From Home team for their support for our work, at a time when it's needed more than ever. Right now, 1 in 5 children around the world are affected by conflict. That equates to over 520 million children. That's more than the population of the United Stats and the UK combined, and is totally unacceptable. By buying this game, fans will be directly supporting our work and we couldn't be more grateful." - Georgia Paton, Gaming Partnerships Lead at War Child UK

The item lets players change the colors of the holograph and can be printed as many times as you like. The DLC can be purchased on Steam and PlayStation for 2.59 GBP / 2.99€/ 2.99 USD.
