Windward Horizon Charts a Course for 2024 Release, Promising a Deeper Dive into Nautical Adventures
Set to make waves in the gaming world, Windward Horizon is ready to hoist its sails on the PC gaming horizon through Steam in 2024. This sequel to the popular naval sandbox game Windward, which has already captivated over 500,000 gamers, continues its legacy under the skilled helm of Tasharen Entertainment.
Master the High Seas with Enhanced Freedom and Creativity
Windward Horizon invites players to take the helm as a commanding captain in a stunningly expansive, procedurally generated world. The game’s universe is a canvas for players, offering them the autonomy to align with various factions vying for maritime dominance. Players can choose to support these factions through quests, or adopt a more neutral stance as a freelance captain who aids all sides impartially.
Trade and tactical engagement are at the heart of the gameplay. Players can boost the prosperity of provinces by facilitating trade or, conversely, disrupt regional economies by intercepting other traders. The strategic choices made by players will shape their journey and influence their reputation across the seas.
Cooperative Play and Rich Customization
For those who prefer company on their voyages, Windward Horizon supports an online co-op mode. Players can explore a variety of biomes, ranging from icy tundras to unforgiving deserts, with friends. The game’s world is rife with opportunities to engage in skirmishes with pirates, or even to become one. Players can also take on the role of town builders, helping to establish and develop new settlements.
The game boasts an extensive customization system that allows players to tailor their nautical experience. Every ship can be personalized down to the crew members, each of whom brings unique skills to the voyage. A flexible talent tree enhances this customization, letting players experiment with different abilities without permanent commitments.
A Platform for Modding Enthusiasts
In keeping with its spirit of customization, Windward Horizon extends an open invitation to modding aficionados. The game is designed to be highly modifiable, enabling players to tweak and refine the game’s mechanics to suit their individual preferences.
Crafting an Unparalleled Open World Experience
Michael Lyashenko, the founder of Tasharen Entertainment, emphasizes the game’s evolution, stating, “As a standalone sequel, Windward Horizon improves upon Windward’s foundation while keeping its original charm. With an engaging gameplay loop filled with intricate systems and detailed customization options, we’re creating a feeling of freedom many open-world sandbox games can’t match.”
