Windblown: first look from dead cells creators

The creators of the highly acclaimed indie game Dead Cells, developer Motion Twin, have announced a new game titled Windblown. Scheduled for a 2024 release, Windblown will be available via Steam Early Access, aiming to provide a "fast-paced combat roguelite" experience. Players will get to control vibrant characters known as Leapers, who are equipped with jetpacks, increasing their speed dramatically as they face off against the Vortex and its Sentinel minions. This upcoming title promises challenging yet fair gameplay and will support solo play or online teams of up to three players. While an animated trailer was revealed at The Game Awards, fans are still awaiting actual gameplay footage. The anticipation for Windblown is high, especially considering the success and continued support of Dead Cells with its numerous free and paid downloadable content (DLC) since its 2018 debut.

Though detailed gameplay mechanics have not been fully released yet, players can expect Windblown to offer a roguelite experience with swift, action-packed combat. The use of jetpacks by the Leapers suggests a focus on speed and mobility, and with the option to play alone or in a team, gameplay could encompass both strategic solo challenges and collaborative tactics in group settings.
