Windscape - Homage to "The Legend of Zelda" coming to consoles and PC on 27th March
Open-World Adventure Game's Full Release for Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One and PC
29 January 2019 As a huge fan of "The Legend of Zelda", "Secret of Mana" and "Golden Axe Warrior", the German game developer Dennis Witte has always wanted to create his own game which contained elements of all of them. In 2016 his dream started taking shape with the help of Headup, when his "Herzensprojekt" Windscape was released into Early Access on Steam.The result was a first person exploration adventure with elements of modern crafting and sandbox games, where you explore a beautifully handcrafted fantasy world, fight monsters, interact with NPCs, solve quests and puzzles.
Now, almost three years later, Dennis' hard work and passion as well as the extremely helpful feedback from the community (Thank you!) has led us here: Windscape is leaving Early Access on 27th March and will also be released on Nintendo Switch™ and Xbox One.
