What platforms will Windbound have?
You can expect to play Windbound on a variety of different platforms. It will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This is a single player game, so you don't have to worry about platforming interacting with other players or finding the perfect platform to play with your friends.

What does the gameplay look like in Windbound?
Developer 5 Lives Studios has posted a 20-minute video of the game, breaking down the different gameplay features and experiences players will have in Windward. It's quite comparable to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where weapons are available all over the island, but plenty of them after prolonged use. You'll learn new recipes for crafting weapons, crafting food, discovering ancient ruins, and navigating the island's turbulent waters. There will be smaller islands for players to find with a boat that can be made from different materials.
As you explore these islands, you will need to craft new weapons to use the different resources.
