We love Airships and the games about them

This Steam Group is intended as a way for Airships enthusiasts to gather and casually share the news about Airships-related games, and possibly communicate about playing them together.

Feel free to join, even if only to get the news about Airships games.

List of associated games is maintained to the best of our ability.
This is just a short summary, possibly to be expanded:

was the prime example of this genre, before it died.
We treat it as a reference for all other Airships games coming forward.
It's also an inspiration for the name of this group.
Floating islands in WA were made with which still works to this day, and also includes a Quad-Drone simulator, so you can explore the player-made islands while training your drone flying.

Bossa - the studio that created WA is now working on a similar game in a different format but very similar look and feel. This will not be an MMO, like WA was, but rather a stand-alone small-scale co-op game to play with friends on a self-hosted server, initially like 4-8 people tops.
That project is called
Lost Skies, and we're waiting for it.


allows you to build your airship from the ground up, or use a premade-one. There is ship-to-ship combat, guns, missiles, boarding, different melee weapons, different firearms for your crew, and a grapple, so airship PVP with boarding actions is possible, given player activity (usually near-zero).
There is PVE though and you can also fight for territory control as a faction, completing missions ranging from simple harvesting, transport, hunting NPC ships, to NPC ship capture or recovery.
Custom factions are based on a Steam Group, and "Airships Adrift" is in there, fighting on the EU server.

is a lobby-based match with pre-made ships, only loadouts (ship weapons) can be changed.
Guns of Icarus Alliance expands on that with PVE missions that can be done to fight for influence on a world map.
Both these games give a strong Steampunk vibe.

We also plan to introduce a list of games giving a general "Vibe" of airships, worlds with floating islands, and so on.
