Windrose, One Of Steam's Most-Wishlisted Games, Is Out Next Week To Scratch That Black Flag Itch

https://www.gamespot.com/games/windrose/">Windrose, the pirate survival game that made a big splash during the most recent https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/steam-next-fest-february-2026-30-of-the-best-demos-you-can-download-right-now/2900-7515/">Steam Next Fest and is one of the most anticipated titles on the platform with over 1.5 million wishlists, is releasing soon.

Very soon.

As revealed during the recent https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/triple-i-initiative-showcase-2026-castlevania-dead-as-disco-and-every-game-shown/2900-7661/">Triple-I Initiative showcase, the co-op pirate adventure will sail into Steam Early Access on April 14, just four days from now.

That's extremely soon for a game whose developer Windrose Crew in February https://www.pcgamer.com/games/survival-crafting/please-let-us-cook-more-windrose-devs-arent-ready-to-give-players-a-release-date-yet/">stated it wasn't ready to reveal a release date and instead wanted to "ship the game on time in the best condition possible."

That is, however, good news for those who played Windrose's Steam demo (which is still available) and couldn't get enough.

For anyone looking to scratch that https://www.gamespot.com/games/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag/">Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (seemingly https://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassins-creed-games-new-info-revealed-and-black-flag-remaster-seemingly-teased-again/1100-6538555/">confirmed to be a remake or remaster soon) itch, Windrose is definitely worth paying attention to.

The game is fully playable in co-op with up to four players, features ship combat, hirable crews, base building, unique dungeons, and more.
