Our take on Ayre
The world is open from the beginning, making unrestricted dragon flight the defining structure of the exploration experience.
What is Ayre?
Ayre is a young woman travelling with the last living dragon to find its origins.
The journey leads to the homeland of the Skyriders, an ancient dragon-riding people, where the pair search for clues to their lost civilization and figure out what is going on with a Crystal Comet. The open world covers 64 square kilometers of valleys, rivers, mountains, and forests, and can be explored from the beginning. Travel by dragon for relaxed exploration or go on foot to search areas more closely. Ring races test flying skills and completing them upgrades the dragon’s abilities. The non-violent gameplay focuses on exploration and discovery, with histories to uncover and gems to collect.
