Developers of Windrose Confirm First Major Content Update at Least Six Months Away

Studio Kraken Express has published a Steam post outlining its future support plans for the pirate survival game Windrose.

A technical patch is currently in active development. The team plans to address network connectivity issues, reduce the load on CPUs, HDDs, and SSDs, improve overall performance, and introduce roughly 50 additional changes. The developers also noted there is “a chance” that cloud save functionality will be improved. The studio says it will “try very hard” to release the patch before the end of the current week, though no guarantees have been made.

Following the patch, Kraken Express will shift its focus toward a major update centered on a new biome called the “Ashen Lands.” Developers expect to share details about this update within one to two months, though the actual release is not expected for at least six months.

The Windrose team emphasized that their goal goes beyond simply adding new content — they also intend to refine existing game mechanics based on player feedback.

To that end, the studio has launched a dedicated feedback website for the game. The platform allows players to read about common bugs and their fixes, report new issues, submit their own ideas, and vote on suggestions from other members of the community.

It was previously reported on April 19th that Windrose had sold over one million copies within just six days of launch. According to the developers, the number of unique players continues to grow daily.
