Deep Silver has announced that Windbound, a stunning survival-crafting RPG-adventure from developer 5 Lives Studios, is available to pre-order for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store with all other platforms to follow soon. The game has also been confirmed for Google Stadia.
Deep Silver also exclusively unveiled the first Windbound gameplay reveal trailer during The Escapist’s Indie Showcase. A new day dawns on the Forbidden Islands. Kara, driven to find the path that leads her back to her tribe, pushes on in her extraordinary odyssey into the unknown.
The islands are alive with magic and enchantment telling the tales of their origin and revealing the role Kara unknowingly plays in it as each artefact that she unearths unlocks a new clue to her past.
Witness Kara’s evolution in survival as she scavenges for resources and gains the skills to craft and equip her with the ultimate sea vessel and the strongest combat-ready attire and weaponry. Increasingly ferocious battles on land and now at sea will transform her into the hardened warrior she was born to become. All the while, a storm unlike any she has ever seen, is pulling her through the treacherous waters to face a mystical presence that lies beneath the sea.
Players who pre-order the game via PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Nintendo eShop, Steam or Epic stores will receive three exclusive Ancestral items.
- Ancestral Attire – This treasured garment – fit for either a warrior or a priest – has been handed down from generation to generation, and now the time has come for Kara to honour her past.
- Ancestral Oar -The Oceanic Gyre was revered in times past, though its true significance is enigmatic to Kara’s people today. Nevertheless, this salt-treated wooded oar remains sturdy and functional, despite its age.
- Ancestral Knife– How or where the ancestors acquired these Sea Shards remains a mystery, but few would deny their efficacy. Luminous, durable and impossibly sharp, this blade cuts as well today as it did a hundred years ago.
To Kara’s tribe, the exploits of her ancestors are legendary. Hunters, fishers, warriors, poets and philosophers, their stories tell of a people who lived in perfect harmony with the natural world and swam the deep waters in the company of gods. Though the tale of their downfall has been lost to time, their legacy lives on in these artefacts that have endured to this day.
