Windrose - 1,000,000+ wishlists, a message of love from us & remastered Drunken Sailor - Steam News

We’re deeply grateful for your support—Windrose has passed 1,000,000+ wishlists! Here’s a message from our team and the remastered Drunken Sailor trailer to celebrate with you.

store.steampowered.com

Hey everyone, and welcome!

We're truly grateful you decided to give our game a chance. Windrose means the world to us, and we hope that, over time, it might come to mean something special to you too.

This past week has been a real whirlwind for our team with all the attention the game has been getting. And as the spotlight grows, so do expectations. We're working hard every day to live up to them. There's still a lot ahead of us, and honestly, it can feel a little scary at times. Our biggest goal is to ship a great game and let you be the judge. It may take time, but with your support, this journey becomes a lot easier (and a bit more swashbuckling, too).

With all that said, thank you—sincerely—for playing the demo, leaving reviews, sharing feedback on Discord, showing off your amazing builds, posting highlights, discussing, suggesting, and inviting your friends… in short, for showing us that Windrose means something to you and sharing that feeling with others. A few weeks ago, we couldn't even have imagined this.

And thanks to all of you, our game has now passed the 1,000,000+ wishlists mark. That's an incredible milestone, and a reminder of how much work we still have ahead. Thank you so much.

Don't miss the Gameplay Publisher Trailer for Windrose, a pirate-themed survival adventure co-op game developed by Windrose Crew. Players will set out on the open seas to make sense of dark secrets, threaten challenging bosses, and seek treasure in the ultimate pirate's life. Windrose will be published by Pocketpair in Japan, with the title coming soon to PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).

Completely different games and one wasn't even available on Steam from the start.

I have no love lost for Ubi or Skull & Bones but these CCU numbers don't prove anything aside from "this is how many players are currently online".

Windrose is setting sail in Early Access on April 14! Wishlist the game now on Steam and get ready for the adventure:

 

[Gonzito]

I am interested in this but I am not sure I want to play this in early access. Hopefully the Black Flag remake comes out soon and I can have my pirate fantasy fix

 

[Lux77]

It had peak of 69,544 yesterday

This surely means it's DOA or the best thing ever or whatever.

To survive the treacherous waters of Windrose, a basic raft simply won't cut it. From fending off Blackbeard's pirates to navigating the brutal archipelago, your ship is your lifeline. In this guide, we break down everything you need to get your vessel sea-ready, including how to unlock the Shipwright's Workshop, the best way to farm Copper for hull bracing, and how to track down the legendary 36-pounder cannons. Whether you're just starting the "I Need A Bigger Boat" quest or you're ready to command the high seas, these tips will ensure your crew stays afloat.

We dive deep into the progression systems of Windrose, detailing how to earn reputation with factions like the Rogue Buccaneers and the Smugglers of Port Royal. Learn the most efficient ways to farm Piastre by looting ruins and selling artifacts, and find out exactly what requirements you need to meet to unlock the Epic Frigate—the best ship in the game. We also cover essential mechanics like using the Wharf for customization, upgrading gear at the workshop, and utilizing Naval Tactics books to give your ship a competitive edge in naval combat.

For such a game this an awesome result.

 

[Hari Seldon]

My boys and I loved the shit out of the demo, but since the world is not procedurally generated I'm waiting for the full release.

 

[Lux77]

Almost 100k today, this are great numbers for survival genre game. We`ll see if it can break Enshrouded numbers (150k) for the weekend.
