'Windjammers 2' (ALL) Delayed Until 2021

by Rainier on Dec. 10, 2020 @ 10:48 a.m. PST

Windjammers 2 will combine everything fans love about the classic title with entirely hand-drawn 2D animations to create the ultimate windjamming experience.

Windjammers is the best flying power disc game ever made, ever, and now is even better than ever made, ever, with new stages and players, surprising and amazing new power moves. The coming sequel also promises enhanced gameplay mechanics for today’s ultimate disc throwers.

Windjammers 2 also features enhanced online multiplayer gameplay modes, providing rewarding competition for those looking for the ultimate challenge at home via their PC, on the beach with their Switch, or anytime and anyplace they feel the need to jam. Robust single-player modes are included for those who like to jam solo or hone their disc-craft offline in full neon spandex cosplay.

Competitors can incorporate all-new jumps, smashes, and slapshots while giving their all on the court, making Windjammers 2 a true elevation of the series’ style of action so revered it’s found a home among the fighting game esports community. You heard that right, Windjammers is totally on the pro esports circuit, dude. 

Greetings everyone,

For the first time ever since its official reveal, Windjammers 2 was playable at Steam Summer Festival last June. Many of you jumped in this online event and we can't thank you enough for answering the Windjammers 2 call. You shared a lot of positive feedback on the overall direction of Windjammers 2 (game design, gameplay, etc.) but also mixed opinions that caught our attention.

We analyzed in depth all these mixed opinions regarding some stuff including the lack of rollback for the online mode, which was unanimously praised in everyone's feedback. We had to do something because Windjammers 2's online mode is also meant to encourage the competitive community to get into the game. We started to fix and add what was necessary. Nevertheless, these changes caused delays and as a result, forced us to postpone the release date to 2021.

This decision is a tough one and it has serious consequences for all of us but we think it's fair enough if it allows us to give you the Windjammers 2 you expect and you deserve. Windjammers 2 is an ambitious project that we love and that we cannot ruin with wrong decisions that could jeopardize its quality.

We hope that you understand our decision and that despite the delay, you will enjoy this new adventure with family, friends, or rivals. We'll give you news about the game more regularly (content, characters, stages, etc.) and we apologize for our silence which lasted far too long. The release date will be revealed in due time and whenever it's set in stone, we'll let you know.

Best regards,
Windjammers 2 Team
