Two weeks ago we posted a story about The Skies, a post-apocalyptic MMORPG by indie team EFORB. Its release on Steam Early Access is due on April 16, but we've managed to arrange a giveaway in partnership with EFORB so that you can try the game right now!
We have 1K Early Access keys for you. Just remember that there will be a wipe upon the public launch on April 16, so don't be surprised if your characters get reset; in the meantime you can try the game, though.
As usual, all you need to do to get your code is follow our Twitter account below if you haven’t already, and then enter your email address. Then redeem it on Steam, just like you would with any game.
