Windrose Reveals Ashlands Update for This Winter with New Missions, Factions and a Ship
Oct. 8, 2026 – Kraken Express has revealed a new teaser for Windrose’s first major content update, Ashlands, during the Triple-i Initiative showcase. The pirate survival-adventure’s update is due this winter, bringing new main and side missions, new factions, a new ship to command and a challenging new boss.
A New Destination on the Horizon
Ashlands expands the map with new locations, including a long-abandoned Spanish colony. Alongside its additional missions and factions, the update promises improvements to combat, gameplay and NPC behavior, plus further enhancements.
Kraken Express says Windrose sold more than two million copies in its first month of PC Early Access. The current version offers dozens of hours of content, with its feature set continuing to grow through community feedback.
Life on Land and at Sea
Explore, sail and plunder through the Age of Piracy, moving between your ship and a settlement on shore. Trade cannon fire, board enemy vessels, craft equipment and challenge bosses with an arsenal of weapons.
Venture into uncharted lands, fight for rare treasures, recruit NPCs for your crew and grow your base. You can build your pirate life alone or team up with friends to take on the high seas.
Where to Play
Windrose is available in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Ashlands is scheduled for this winter; an exact release date has not been announced in this update.
Game on!
