Hey Elysians,We’re excited to announce that controller support is now available for beta testing! 🎮We know it’s been a long wait, and we really appreciate everyone who has been patient with us while we worked on getting controller support ready. We wanted to make sure we refined and added improvements ahead of the official release, and we realized there’s no better way to find out what we missed than to get it into the hands of our players who will actually be using it.⚠️ Please Keep In Mind: This is an Experimental Build The Controller Support Beta is an experimental build.

OverviewSome bug fixes this time around. Mostly targeting long-time issues and recent performance inhibitors.

- The Wait Is Over - Tempest Weather Update is Here! - 20 August 2026
Hey Elysians!We are incredibly excited to finally welcome the release of the new Tempest Update, otherwise known as v0.20.0 which features Rain and Weather Systems!This update represents a major step forward for the game as it changes the way you approach your travel in Elysium, while also bringing general improvements and changes based directly from the feedback we received from you all.Rain now interacts directly with your ship and everything on it.

This introduces a new approach to your flight on the airship as you explore the world and need to make decisions on the fly on how to build and structure your airship to withstand these conditions! “Despite joining the development team here at Loric Games midway throug…

This icon matches the one displayed alongside the total weight indicator on the HUD in the lower right corner, creating a more consistent visual language across th…
