Smilegate announced on Wednesday the 15th that its global gaming platform, STOVE, has launched the pirate survival open-world adventure game 'Windrose' (developed by Windrose Crew) in Early Access.

Set in an alternate history inspired by the 17th-century golden age of piracy, 'Windrose' is an open-world survival crafting RPG that invites players to explore vast oceans and uncharted islands. As a pirate captain, players can gather resources, build settlements, and command various ships to engage in combat across both sea and land. The game generated significant anticipation prior to its release, recording 1.6 million global pre-registrations and 800,000 demo players.

Crafting and construction are also core elements of the gameplay. Players can utilize resources to build everything from simple shelters to massive fortresses, with a vast crafting system that allows for extensive content expansion. The Early Access version also introduces quality-of-life improvements, such as a ship-summoning feature and automatic reward collection upon sinking enemy pirate ships.

To celebrate the launch of 'Windrose,' STOVE is offering the game at the lowest price worldwide in two separate discount rounds running through the 27th of this month. Further details regarding the launch discount event can be found on the STOVE event page.

A partnership event with RedForce PC Cafes is also underway. 'Windrose' has been installed at over 100 RedForce PC Cafe locations nationwide, providing an environment where users can play immediately without needing to download the game themselves. This initiative allows users to experience the game with greater convenience.

'Windrose' supports Korean subtitles and was released simultaneously across global gaming platforms, including STOVE. Detailed information about the game is available on the STOVE game page.
