Loftia Guide

What's in Early Access and What Comes Next

Updated · Launch & Platforms

Quick answer

Early Access lets you play the whole core storyline and adds two districts the demo didn't have — the Hanging Gardens and the Gridfall — plus pets, fishing (Collector Rod), hydroponics and trellis farming, community farms, research stations, urbex, proficiency perks past the demo's level 5 cap, and new movement gear. It's planned to last about a year; 1.0 is planned to add a Study Cafe, player markets and clubs.
