Windward
Tasharen Entertainment’s randomly generated, open-world sailing game is making its way out of Early Access on May 12, and there’s a new trailer to go along with the announcement.
If Windward looks familiar, it’s because it shares a lot in common with the Sid Meir’s classic, Pirates. Don’t expect to find a lot of political maneuvering in Windward, though, as it’s focus is on combat in much the same way as Assassin’s Creed IV. Like Black Flag, players take part in fast-paced battles of supremacy, upgrading their ship along the way. Check out the trailer below to see Windward in action:
Those interested in Windward can check out more information on the game's Steam Early Access page.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
