It was just over a month ago that Windrose Crew asked for more time to cook on their upcoming pirate survival game Windrose, because despite rolling out a new trailer they just weren't ready to announce a release date. But that was then and this is now, and now, courtesy of an appearance at today's Triple-I showcase, we know that Windrose will sail into early access on April 14.
Windrose takes what its developers call "the classic 'build, craft, survive' formula" into an alt-history Age of Piracy, filled with "vast procedurally generated biomes filled with hidden mysteries, hand-crafted dungeons and quests." It's playable solo or with up to four co-op cohorts, but it's no Sea of Thieves: Apart from its more lifelike visual style, Windrose promises "intense combat and engaging exploration on land and sea," with resources to be gathered, bases to be built, NPCs to be hired, and a settlement to grow.
