Montpellier, June 7th in the year of our Lord 2021 -- PID Games and Coldwild Games are thrilled to announce Merchant of the Skies arriving on Playstation 5! After an acclaimed release on PC and consoles, the poetic trading game is finally coming to Next Gen.

Vladimir Slav, developer:
"Merchant of the Skies is our attempt to make a non-violent, cosy and peaceful trading game that allows for relaxed base-building and management experience. We always admired peaceful games and wanted to make one, but found it to be very challenging, since rivalry and combat is something that makes the game experiences exciting. Helen, our artist, started drawing cosy pixel art, and it proved to be a good fit for economic game elements. I'm curious to see how the game performs on nextgen consoles."

Merchant of the skies is an experimental game: it does not have a distinct genre, but tries to capture the feeling of traveling the world and establishing your own company. Enjoy exploration, base building, trading and some minor RPG elements into the game.
