 Deep Silver and 5 Lives Studios (Satellite Reign) have announced Windbound, a new survival-adventure title launching on PC and consoles later this year.
Resources in Windbound are scavenged from the land and local fauna, but with finite supplies on each island, players will have to brave “tempestuous winds, monstrous waves, and deadly sea creatures” in order to seek out untapped environments.
