Windrose Sets April 14 PC Early Access Launch

Strong demo demand sets the stage for a $29.99 early build with a multi-year roadmap.

Overview

  • Windrose Crew, which announced the date Thursday during the Triple‑i Initiative showcase, will open early access on Steam, the Epic Games Store and Stove.
  • The first build includes three biomes, about 30 islands, more than 90 handcrafted points of interest, and three ships with real-time naval combat and boarding.
  • The game supports solo play or co-op for up to four players and costs $29.99 at launch.
  • The team expects 1.5 to 2.5 years in early access and plans roughly 50% more content by 1.0, including more biomes, ships, enemies and gear.
  • Interest surged after a widely played demo with over 1.5 million wishlists and roughly 850,000 players, and the project shifted from a planned MMO to a premium co-op game published by Pocketpair.
