Cloud Pirates Hits Steam Early Access On February 9th With New Game Mode

It's been a while since we've heard anything about My.com announced today that the game will be launching on Steam Early Access on February 9th.

The Steam Early Access release will come complete with a new game mode called "Gold Rush" as part of Update 1.1, which is named after the game mode. The full set of patch notes will be released tomorrow, but you can get an early look at the game mode in the announcement trailer embedded below. In the mode, players will be able to "loot special resources."

At launch, players will be able to form "brotherhoods," which are the game's clans, and "loot or defend special aerial convoys." Depending on how these missions go, those involved could obtain "valuable 'meteor ore.'" Brotherhoods will also be able to build "incredibly useful" sky fortresses at some point in the future.

Additionally, if you were planning to get a Founder's Pack, now is the time. The iral Founder's Pack, which is currently 33% off, will be discontinued at the beginning of Early Access.
