Windrose Tops Steam Next Fest and Surpasses 1 Million Wishlists as Devs Hold Release Date

The team says it needs more time to polish the PvE pirate survival game to reflect feedback from the demo.

Overview

  • Windrose Crew released a new IGN Fan Fest trailer but declined to announce a launch date, telling fans on Discord to "let us cook more."
  • The developers said the full game will be much larger than the demo and want to lock a date only when they are confident in shipping on time and in strong condition.
  • The Steam Next Fest demo has climbed to the top of the event’s popular upcoming chart, overtaking Capcom’s Pragmata, according to GamesRadar+.
  • The game has registered more than 1,000,000 wishlists on Steam, a milestone the studio publicly celebrated.
  • PC Gamer reports the demo is among the most played during the festival, with concurrent players high enough to appear on Steam’s most‑played charts, and press cite 4–6 hours of demo content with notably smooth performance.
