Airborne open world Atmosfar gets an early access release date and a trailer full of flying islands, cloud cruisers and sky taxis

The open world game Atmosfar is set to release its early access version on October 29th. The trailer for the game showcases a variety of flying islands, cloud cruisers, and sky taxis.
