'Windblown' Comes to Steam Early Access Next Week, Playable Demo Available

by Rainier on Oct. 14, 2024 @ 3:32 p.m. PDT

In Windblown, players are invited to jump in solo or team up together and engage in challenging, fast-paced action in vast, ever-changing islands in the sky.

In Windblown, players become Leapers – warriors fighting to protect their home, The Ark, from the gigantic and deadly Vortex and its Sentinel minions. Like a bolt of lightning, players will freely dash through stunning open stages where each run is teeming with secrets to uncover. Players will be challenged to overcome the odds in relentless battles against the Vortex's Sentinels, hell-bent on taking them down and starting their run anew.  

Leapers absorb the memories of the fallen warriors who came before, learning how to master the fighting styles of their predecessors to unleash their full potential. Players will swap between multiple weapons and adapt to every situation by shifting their build on the fly as they progress through vibrant, layered environments. As players unlock more memories, they will be able to collect stronger and more complex weapons that will turn them into the ultimate killing machine. 

Additionally, players can choose to go it alone or unite in online three-player co-op play throughout their adventures. Windblown’s combat is tough but always fair - every run is a lesson, so learn from your countless deaths, memorize enemy movements and leap back into action stronger than ever. 

Motion Twin announced the free, limited-time single player demo for Windblown is available now as part of Steam Next Fest ahead of the game’s Steam Early Access launch on Oct. 24, 2024. 

Players can take their first steps into the world of Windblown starting today, dashing through the first biome’s vast, floating islands in the sky, unlocking new Memories to create powerful and chaotic builds and destroying the Sentinels that cross their path. The new demo gives a glimpse of some of the action awaiting players ahead of Windblown’s Early Access release later this month, which will feature additional biomes, more weapons and gear, more challenging bosses and also allows for up to 3-player co-operative online play.

The limited-time Steam Next Fest demo is available now through Monday, Oct. 24, 2024.

Players who try out the demo will also unlock an exclusive Guinea Pig skin for their character in the Early Access release, befitting their role as an early tester of the game’s countless challenges ahead. Additionally, progress made within the demo will carry over into the Early Access release upon launch, allowing players to jump-start their exploration within the Vortex and its many challenges within.

Windblown is coming to PC (Steam) in late 2025.
