In a recent Steam post from developer Kraken Express, sales of Windrose have surpassed two million players worldwide. The game surpassed 1.5 million units sold earlier this month. In the post, the developer thanked players and fans for their support. The studio also revealed plans to release another patch soon to address several common issues reported by the community. After that, full production will begin on the game’s next major update.
The full announcement:
Hey, captains!
Another incredible milestone in our journey — 2,000,000 brave souls have plunged into the Archipelago to live the swashbuckling life alongside us!
When we first set sail, we could only hope that our game would find such a passionate and dedicated community. Seeing so many of you exploring the seas, sharing your stories, creating content, reporting issues, and supporting us every step of the way means more than we can properly express.
Every screenshot, every stream, every review, every bug report, and every kind word has helped shape this adventure into something truly special. The Archipelago feels alive because of you.
In terms of development updates, we’re planning to release another patch soon to address several common issues reported by the community. After that, we begin full production on the next major update. We’re still discussing the scope of that update internally, so it will take some time before we can share more details. However, our goal remains the same: to continue expanding the experience in meaningful ways and make the wait worthwhile.
Thank you again, captains. This milestone is a new beginning for us, for the game, and for the community we’re building together. We are deeply touched by your support and will continue working hard to make this adventure worthy of your time and passion.
Fair winds and following seas,
Kraken Express
