ONTARIO — April 18, 2024 — Windward Horizon, the sequel to the action-filled naval sandbox title Windward with more than 500,000 copies sold, developed by Tasharen Entertainment, puts wind in its sails on PC via Steam in 2024.
Take command of the seas and explore a beautiful, procedurally generated world where various factions seek to expand their influence. Complete quests on behalf of each favored faction to expand its influence and reach, or simply be a freelancer that helps out everyone equally. Engage in trade, helping provinces grow, or waylay other traders and achieve the opposite effect – the choice of what kind of captain to be is up to every player..
Dare to adventure by yourself or scout the seas with friends in online co-op. Sail across diverse biomes, from bone-chilling frozen tundras to harsh, barren deserts. Trade amongst fellow factions, fight off enemy pirates (or become one!), and help establish new flourishing towns. Take on assignments from other faction leaders, and if a high enough reputation is held, request the help of NPCs to complete particularly difficult tasks.
Tailor nautical playstyles to individual taste with deep customization systems. Assemble a naval crew on a fully customizable ship, selecting crew members and captains with specialized skills. Further specialize by delving into a flexible talent tree that allows mixing and matching without making any role permanent. Earn unique ship buffs by raising faction reputation to new heights. Windward Horizon will encourage modding enthusiasts to easily alter configurations even further to fit their needs.
“As a standalone sequel, Windward Horizon improves upon Windward’s foundation while keeping its original charm,” said Michael Lyashenko, Founder of Tasharen Entertainment. “With an engaging gameplay loop filled with intricate systems and detailed customization options, we’re creating a feeling of freedom many open world sandbox games can’t match.”
Windward Horizon arrives on PC via Steam in 2024 for $20.00 USD. For more information, visit the official Tasharen Entertainment website, or join the official Tasharen Discord for the latest updates.
