Windrose Early Access sales top one million in six days

Total sales for cooperative pirate survival game Windrose surpassed one million units in six days, developer Kraken Express (formerly Windrose Crew) announced.

“Ahoy, captains! We have just plundered another milestone—one million copies, and ‘we’ means ‘you’—a crew of fine brave captains sailing the seas of Windrose,” reads a message from the development team. “Moreover, today Windrose has assembled over 200,000 concurrent players! Your support for the game is absolutely astonishing, and your patience while we are working on fixes is truly heart-warming.”

The developer continued, “While we keep working on the game, we read your reviews and comments, watch your videos and streams, and sometimes, honestly, shed a pirate-y tear of happiness, because now when the game is out you share our dream of swashbuckling adventure. And there are boars, too, we know, but whatever does not send you flying into the nearest tree, makes you stronger, right?”

Windrose launched in Early Access for PC via Steam on April 14.
