About This Game

New World to Discover: Start as a young, unaffiliated captain with an entire world open for exploration. Every campaign features a unique, procedurally generated map, ensuring no two games are alike.

Play Solo or Co-op: Experience it all alone or sail with friends—the choice is yours.

Trade, Quest, or Wander: Engage in peaceful trading, take on quests for various factions, fish the seas, or dive for hidden treasures. Prefer a quieter life? You can simply sail and enjoy the open waters.

Dynamic World Impact: Towns and provinces need resources to grow. Supplying them leads to prosperity, while faction leaders will involve you in their agendas. Helping one may hinder another, and enough support can even let a faction leader take control of a province—without a single cannon being fired.

Fully Customizable Ships: Build the ship that suits your style—whether it’s a tough juggernaut that can take a beating, a quick schooner that rains fire from afar, or a support vessel keeping allies afloat. Swap out cannons for extra armor and turn your ship into a ramming juggernaut if that’s your thing.

Diverse Talent Trees: As you level up, unlock talent points to enhance Defense, Offense, or Support specializations. Each tree offers unique abilities and sub-paths, and you can mix talents across specializations to create powerful, personalized builds.

Crew & Captains: Expand your toolkit by recruiting crew, mates, and captains—each bringing their skills to your ship.

Upgrade & Expand: The gold you earn isn’t just for supplies—it’s your ticket to bigger and better ships. From nimble Schooners to powerful Frigates and versatile Brigantines. Follow storylines to unlock even more unique ships.

Forge Your Path: Whether you aim to be a feared pirate, a master trader, or a loyal faction ally, it's up to you!

Designed for Co-op: While the journey is yours, it’s even better with friends. Windward Horizon was built with co-op in mind—so bring your crew, set sail, and experience the chaotic fun together!
