Motion Twin :

BORDEAUX, FRANCE (Oct. 24, 2024) – Windblown, the brand-new action rogue-lite developed by independent French developer Motion Twin, is available today in Early Access on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1911610/Windblown/). 

Watch Windblown's explosive animated Launch Trailer by Bobby Prod here: https://youtu.be/VPJER9uu8yE 

Playable in both single-player and up to three players in co-operative online multiplayer, players will discover unique biomes teeming with hidden secrets and challenging adversaries, upgrading their Leaper using dozens of different Weapons, Trinkets, Gifts and Magifish (!). Windblown’s Early Access launches with five diverse explorable biomes to dash through, 15 unique weapons to decimate your enemies with (each featuring unique move sets, powerful Alterattacks and random weapon modifiers), dozens of unique upgrades and a customizable post-completion difficulty modifier for players looking for even more challenge. Dash with lightning speed, discover your perfect weapon synergies, and destroy the Sentinels ... or die trying. 

Players who play Windblown from today until Nov. 8, 2024* will unlock the exclusive, and perhaps strangely familiar for Dead Cells fans, Intern skin to show off their unique style. Additionally, fans who previously played the limited-time single-player demo of Windblown as part of Steam Next Fest can continue to play with the exclusive Guinea Pig skin from today too, with any progress made in the demo carrying over into today’s release.

Alongside thrilling fast-paced gameplay and a distinctive colorful visual flair, players can also discover the new, energetic soundtrack for Windblown composed by renowned artist Danger. Fans can purchase the Windblown Original Soundtrack by Danger from today via Steam. 

Throughout the Early Access period, the team at Motion Twin will look to add new biomes, weapons, features and more to Windblown based on community feedback and suggestions. For an early look at the team’s plans for the Early Access period, check out the latest Steam Event post here. Players wanting to be part of the conversation can also join the official Windblown Discord channel to discover more about the game, discuss new builds and strategies for the game’s many challenges, and share feedback directly to the team at Motion Twin and shape the development of Windblown throughout Early Access and beyond.
