Windward Horizon

Windward Horizon is a sailing game in which you begin as a young, unaffiliated captain with a procedurally generated world to explore. Each campaign has a unique map, so no two are alike. You can play alone or co-op with friends, trading, taking quests from factions, fishing, diving for treasure or simply sailing the open waters.

Shape the world

Towns and provinces need resources to grow. Supplying them helps them prosper, while faction leaders may draw you into their agendas. Supporting one faction can hinder another, and enough support can allow a faction leader to take control of a province without a cannon being fired.

Build your ship and crew

Customize your ship to suit your approach: make it a durable juggernaut, a fast schooner that attacks from a distance or a support vessel that keeps allies afloat. You can replace cannons with extra armor and turn your ship into a ramming juggernaut. Recruit crew, mates and captains, each bringing skills to your ship.

Gold earned can buy supplies and larger ships, from nimble Schooners to powerful Frigates and versatile Brigantines. Following storylines unlocks additional unique ships.

Develop your talents

As you level up, you earn talent points to improve Defense, Offense or Support. Each specialization has its own abilities and sub-paths, and you can combine talents from different specializations to create a personalized build.

Choose your course

You can pursue life as a feared pirate, a master trader or an ally to a faction. The game is designed for co-op, where you can sail with friends and take on the chaotic endgame together.
