Ambrosia Sky Act 1 trailer reveals November release date for power wash action | IGN Fall Fan Fest 2025. Developer Soft Rains and support studio Blackbird Interactive made an appearance at IGN Fall Fan Fest 2025 to announce an Ambrosia Sky Act 1 release date of November 10, 2025, for PC via Steam. The launch update for the studio's upcoming stylized, power wash-inspired action FPS arrives alongside a new two-minute trailer. It's a fresh look at the creative cleaning adventure, promising to release its first chapter in just a few weeks, with Act 2 and Act 3 set to follow in 2026. Ambrosia Sky sees players step into the zero-gravity shoes of a field scientist named Dalia. Her search for the key to human immortality takes her to Saturn's outer rings, where she must face (and clean) hostile fungi and discover what happened to the people who once lived there. "In this gripping first act, Ambrosia Sky thrusts you into a mind-bending world of death, decay, and what comes after," Soft Rains' description for Ambrosia Sky Act 1 says. "Armed with nothing but a chemical sprayer and grappling hook, you must survive varieties of unpredictable alien fungi." Although it takes some clear inspiration from meditative experiences like PowerWash Simulator, Ambrosia Sky spices up its fungus-cleaning activities in a few ways. Dalia can harvest fruit and upgrade her gear, for example, with players also able to craft ammunition and enhance traversal tools like the tether. Soft Rains encourages players to explore while piecing together mysteries and dodging an alien fungus that can electrify, explode, and more. Soft Rains is a Toronto-based indie studio formed with talent behind games like The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Fallout 3 and 4, Valorant, and Watch Dogs: Legion. Ambrosia Sky was announced in June of this year. If you'd like to see more than what was shown in today's IGN Fall Fest 2025 trailer, you should know an updated Ambrosia Sky demo is available to check out as part of Steam Next Fest until October 20. For more, you can check out its Summer Game Fest Ambrosia Sky preview, where Will Borger went hands-on with a slice from Dalia's journey. At the time, he said, "I am excited to see what else Soft Rains has in store for us on the Cluster, but one thing is clear: their ambition is great." Michael Cripe is a freelance writer with IGN.
