Roguelike action meets warp speed gameplay in Windblown

The best part is Windblown is launching in 2024 on Windows PC via Steam Early Access. A release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X aren't out of the question but it might come at a later date. The announcement has generated plenty of excitement, given the studio's reputation for unique, engaging and innovative gameplay experience. The game's fast-paced action, coupled with its co-op multiplayer element, is a new direction for the developer, building on the success of Dead Cells while venturing into uncharted territory.

Windblown's setting, The Ark, is an open, ever-changing landscape teeming with secrets, offering the players a dynamic environment to explore. The ability to absorb the memories of fallen warriors adds a strategic layer to gameplay, which allows players to continuously evolve their combat style. This mechanic also ensures that each run is unique, keeping the gameplay fresh and challenging.

With its unique blend of fast-paced action, vibrant 3D visuals, and cooperative gameplay, Windblown is poised to be a significant addition to the roguelike genre. Motion Twin's commitment to crafting a game that combines speed, action, and strategy, evident in their previous titles, is sure to make this indie title a game to watch out for in the coming year.

As players eagerly await the Early Access launch, the anticipation for this new venture by Dead Cells' creators continues to grow.

Speaking of The Game Awards, Baldur's Gate 3 took home the crown at the event for this year after wowing audiences on PC and PlayStation 5 a few months ago. And, oh, it shadow dropped on Xbox as well.
