Motion Twin, the indie developer behind the critically acclaimed roguelike 2D game Dead Cells, has announced its next project, Windblown, at the 2023 Game Awards.
Alongside unveiling its next project, Motion Twin also shared the first trailer, which delivers fast-paced action, an eye-catching transition from an anime-esque cutscene that cuts to 3D gameplay, and an emphasis on co-op play.
“We were craving a lightning-fast combat roguelite, but it simply didn’t exist,” the Motion Twin team explained in a press release. “So, we rolled up our sleeves and crafted the game we yearned for; one that lets us dive into the action on our own, and with friends, whenever the mood (or too much pain) strikes!”
According to Motion Twin, Windblown will have players assuming the role of Leapers, a group of warriors fighting to protect their home from a “gigantic and deadly Vortex and its Sentinel minions.” You can endure the “tough, but always fair” gameplay by yourself or have up to three friends play with you via online co-op.
Windblown is launching in Steam Early Access sometime next year. For more, check out everything revealed at The Game Awards so far and our roundup of every winner for each category.
