Grab your compass and ready the cannons— Windward Horizon, the long-awaited sequel to the cult classic Windward (2015), has officially launched into full release on Steam for PC. Developed by Tasharen Entertainment, version 1.0 is now live and available for $19.99 USD / £15.99 GBP / €19.99 EUR—and it comes with a limited-time 10% launch discount.
Whether you’re a merchant chasing gold, a pirate chasing infamy, or an adventurer chasing the edge of the map, Windward Horizon offers a deeply immersive naval RPG experience set in a living, ever-changing world.
Your Ship. Your Crew. Your Story.
In Windward Horizon, you step into the role of an aspiring captain with a single ship and a sea full of opportunities. Sail solo or in online co-op, and carve out your legend through trade, exploration, combat, and strategic world-building.
The open-world RPG lets you decide how you want to make your mark:
- Will you build thriving coastal towns or plunder them for loot?
- Will you become a revered hero of the realm or a feared pirate king?
- Will you explore the unknown or master the trade routes?
Every voyage is yours to command, and every decision shapes the world around you.
A Dynamic Ocean World Built for Endless Adventure
The heart of Windward Horizon is its procedural world generation, which ensures that every campaign is fresh and full of surprises. Each new game map is teeming with hidden treasures, dynamic factions, and unique challenges. From mysterious shipwrecks to volatile political shifts, no two adventures are the same.
“We wanted to create a world that reacts to the player—not just with combat or dialogue, but with real, strategic consequences,” said Michael Lyashenko, lead developer at Tasharen Entertainment.
Players can expand their influence by settling provinces, constructing towns and defenses, endorsing governors, and even tipping the balance of power between competing factions.
