Windrose Sets Six-Month Wait for First Major Update as Devs Prioritize Fixes

The studio signals a fixes-first approach that pushes the Ashlands expansion to a six-month horizon.

Overview

  • Kraken Express, which outlined its plans Tuesday, said the Ashlands content update will take at least six months.
  • A smaller patch is in internal testing with a target of this week, and it tackles connectivity issues, high CPU and disk use, performance stability, and dozens of quality-of-life tweaks including about 40 new building pieces.
  • The team launched windrose.support to centralize troubleshooting, bug reports, and feature ideas, and it will disable overlapping Discord tools to keep feedback in one place.
  • Developers asked players for patience and said they aim to deepen existing systems rather than only add a new biome, with a high-level roadmap update expected in one to two months.
  • The stabilization push follows a breakout launch that topped one million sales and more than 200,000 concurrent players, which created heavy load and raised expectations for near-term updates.
