Overview
- Windrose Crew announced during Thursday's Triple‑i Initiative showcase that Early Access begins April 14 on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Stove at $29.99.
- The first build features three biomes, roughly 30 procedural islands with over 90 handcrafted locations, three ships, naval battles with boarding, base building, factions, and NPC workers.
- Players can sail solo or in co‑op for up to four, with a free demo still live to sample the combat, sailing, and exploration.
- The team targets a 1.5 to 2.5 year early‑access period with about 50% more content planned for 1.0 and an estimated 50 to 70 hour main story already in place.
- Interest is high after about 850,000 demo players during Steam Next Fest and more than 1.5 million wishlists, following a pivot from a planned free‑to‑play MMO to a premium co‑op game published by Pocketpair.
