Assemble Entertainment has released a new trailer for Sphere – Flying Cities this week, and with it came the official release date. We now know that the game will be dropping into Early Access for both Steam and GOG on September 20th, 2022. What's more, the company has partnered with Atmosfair, an environmental development charity organization that focuses on clean energy climate protection projects, as they will be offering up a special Save the World edition of the game that includes a mini-artbook and in-game cosmetics. Those who purchase it will see a portion of that version's profits go directly to the charity.

Inspired by James Blish's novel City In Flight, Sphere – Flying Cities employs a distinct mix of strategy, survival, and city-building simulation elements. Players are put in the position of Commander, whose sole purpose is to maintain order and see to the survival of mankind. In the near future, the planet is thrown into turmoil when Earth's moon is struck by a colossal asteroid. In the wake of this destruction, the world's surface is rendered totally uninhabitable. Facing complete annihilation, humanity makes one final and desperate attempt to survive — thanks to newly-created anti-gravity technology, the first (and likely final) faction of flying cities ascends as the ultimate bastion of the human race.
  • A City in the Clouds: Construct your city with numerous retro-futuristic buildings, utilize the resources available from the unique sky-vironment, and send out drones to harvest (sometimes rare!) resources and repair buildings to keep everyone's head in the clouds.
  • The Sky's the Limit: The anti-gravity device and its deflector-shield are the only things protecting the city from (un)natural disasters; maintaining it means the difference between life and certain doom.
  • For the Greater Good: Assuring the safety of your city's denizens is of paramount importance — tend to their needs by supplying food, healthcare, and shelter, as well as undergoing rescue missions. However, keep in mind that you won't be able to save every building – nor every colonist.
  • Write Your Own Story: Each decision you make, turn you take, and building you create chronicles your own narrative in this compelling near-apocalypse scenario. Define your experience by the paths you follow and determine how your city's story ends.
