Far From Home

Far From Home is an independent Polish video game developer and self-publisher based in Wrocław. Formed in April 2020 by experienced developers, the studio focuses on mid-sized AA+ games combining mature themes, environmental awareness and distinctive gameplay mechanics. Its founding team brought experience from companies including Techland, Bloober Team, The Farm 51 and Artifex Mundi.

The studio develops games through the full production cycle, bringing together concept development, 3D art, narrative design and gameplay programming. Its work uses Unreal Engine, with a particular focus on first-person survival, science-fiction exploration and systems that connect traversal, construction and resource management. Community participation through early access forms part of its development approach, alongside self-publishing and ongoing community management.

Building a world above the dust

Its debut game, Forever Skies, is a first-person post-apocalyptic survival adventure set on an ecologically devastated Earth. Players explore a world covered by a lethal dust layer while constructing, upgrading and piloting a high-tech airship. The vessel serves as a mobile base, laboratory and workshop, making its development central to both exploration and survival.

Initially developed under the internal codename Project Oxygen, the game entered Steam Early Access on June 22, 2023. It sold more than 160,000 copies during its initial months and subsequently expanded to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It remains the studio’s sole released title, alongside an unannounced second project under development.

Independent development

In April 2024, Krafton acquired a minority equity stake in the company. Far From Home retained creative control, operational independence and self-publishing rights. The investment supported continued work on Forever Skies updates and pre-production of its second project, allowing the studio to continue developing its own intellectual property.
