Windblown Is Coming To Steam Early Access On Oct. 24th, Demo Available Soon

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours logged into roguelikes and action platformers, I am beyond excited for Motion Twin’s upcoming release, Windblown! Having followed their work since Dead Cells, it’s heartening to see the team fully committed to this new project. The prospect of diving back into their unique blend of fast-paced combat and exploration, now in a co-op setting, is truly tantalizing.


Motion Twin, the creators of Dead Cells, hosted a week-long event called “Motion Week” to celebrate their studio. During this time, fans can expect fresh reveals, announcements, and updates, including news about Dead Cells, their action roguelite game. For one week on Steam, Dead Cells is discounted, as well as all its DLCs, and the release date for the Dead Cells board game was also announced.

They’ve additionally given information about the progress of the Dead Cells animated project. Specifically, a voiceover version in English will debut on October 8th, 2024, with further details to be shared soon. However, the most exciting news from the developer concerns their upcoming roguelike action platformer game, Windblown, which is set to launch on Steam Early Access on October 24th, 2024.

At The Game Awards in December 2023, the developer initially unveiled their roguelike action platformer. They later disclosed that they intend to release it in Early Access sometime in 2024. Meanwhile, as Motion Twin worked on Windblown, they’ve been regularly updating, enhancing, and optimizing Dead Cells. This included several DLCs leading up to Update 35 in August 2024.
