Aesir Interactive and NighinGames are finishing work on Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori – a game that could shake things up not just on Steam. The title takes us to 13th-century Mongolia, where instead of a sword, the most important thing will be… a horse and a good eye for logistics.
Courier in an open world and a horse realism like never before
Windstorm is not just beautiful graphics. It's also an exceptionally charming mechanic for travelling and training steeds, which – according to the creators – is meant to be the most authentic simulator of horse behaviours we've seen. So we have not only wonderfully recreated animations but also realistic reactions, sounds, and relationships between the player and the animal.
In the game, we deliver parcels, rescue animals, and traverse wild, open spaces. Sounds relaxing? Yes. But at the same time, there's something epic about it – something that reminds us of the best moments from Red Dead Redemption, only set in a different culture and with a smaller gun.
From Kickstarter to the big screen – premiere still in 2025
On Kickstarter, the title smashed its target – raising over €504,000, although the creators were aiming for just €60,000. The premiere is planned for the end of 2025 – and it will be available on PC (Steam, Epic), PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
If you're looking for a game that will surprise you with its atmosphere, calm yet satisfying gameplay, and something "different from everything" – Windstorm is definitely worth keeping on your radar.
