Northwind changes
Only 3 days left until our EARLY ACCESS Release! 🎉
We’re super excited and so thankful for all your support along the way. Northwind’s Early Access launches on 22nd September at: 7:00 AM PT | 2:00 PM UTC | 9:00 PM ICT
To celebrate, we’ve prepared a quick 1-minute recap video —our journey started back in 2020! Some of you even joined our very first playtest in 2021, and we’re so grateful you’ve been a part of our development. ❤️
Early Access is just the beginning!
We’re currently working on the roadmap, and here are a few things we can confirm:
A 3rd Mercenary
Monster Gear Engineer in Northwind Town
Controller & Steam Deck support
More content: relics, gems, roguelite unlocks, hazard levels, etc.
Visual upgrades
QoL improvements
Additional languages
The official roadmap will be announced after Early Access, but development is already underway! Here’s a sneak peek at the Monster Gear Engineer in Northwind Town! We can’t wait for you to see how he’ll help you on each run.
Northwind is featured at Game Devs of Color and showcased at Tokyo Game Show!
We’re humbled to be launching alongside these two amazing events—check them out!
