Point-and-click fans rejoice! After a long (and, if you’re me, impatient) wait, Wadjet Eye Games – the dependably brilliant studio behind the likes of Unavowed and the Blackwell series – is finally ready to share a release date for its intriguing time-travelling adventure, Old Skies. And it’s close, launching for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Switch on 23th April.


Old Skies, which was originally announced all the way back in June 2022, cast players as Fia Quinn – a time agent for the ChronoZen agency who’s been tasked with keeping a close eye on seven travellers as they take their own trips to the past. “Some are simply curious,” explains Wadjet Eye. “Others have unfinished business to resolve. And they’ve all put down a lot of money for the trip, so it’s vital that you keep them happy while ensuring they follow the rules. But what could go wrong? It’s only time travel, after all.”


Seven travellers means seven distinct time periods spanning over 200 years of history to explore, with Old Skies taking players from speakeasies of Prohibition to the gangs of the Gilded Age, and even the morning of September 11th where a murder is waiting to be solved. It’s got paradoxes to escape, puzzles to overcome – some requiring a spot of temporal thinking – and even the possibility of your adventure coming to a fatal halt. Although, as Wadjet Eye notes, the whole time travel thing means death is not the end.

Away from the story stuff, Old Skies features some (by Wadjet Eye’s standards) positively futuristic 1920×1080 artwork – it marks the first time the developer has eschewed the chunky, distinctly old-school pixels of its past adventures – as well as music by Unavowed composer Thomas Regin, and full voice acting from the studio’s “largest cast yet”. You can get a general idea of how all that comes together in the trailer above, and Wadjet Eye’s also released a new trailer focusing on one of Old Skies seven cases.


So there you go! Old Skies launches on 23rd April via Switch’s eShop and Steam. And speaking as big fan of Wadjet Eye’s consistently excellent back catalogue (which, incidentally, is currently cheap as chips thanks to the Steam Spring Sale), I can’t blimmin’ wait.
