Windward
Open-world pirate game Windward has emerged from early access and is now sailing the open waters of full release. The title, which we covered previously, allows players to captain a ship and upgrade it in the style of an MMO.
The world is procedurally generated, so players sailing across Windward’s oceans. Those that make it to the end game can even captain a blimp. (We know that isn’t a sea-faring vessel, but it’s a blimp. Blimps are cool.)
In addition to upgrading your ship, you’ll have access to three skill trees with a number of different talents to boost your buccaneering bravado. Once you’ve outfitted your vessel, you can take it out into open waters, fight enemies, live the pirate life, or simply explore.
Windward is available now for PC, Mac, and Linux for $14.99.
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.
Thank you.
