Aesir Interactive and NighinGames are finishing work on Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori – a game that could shake things up not only 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.
The courier in an open world and the realism of a horse like never before
Windstorm is not just beautiful graphics. It also offers an exceptionally charming mechanic for travelling and training steeds, which – according to the creators – is meant to be the most authentic simulator of equine behaviour we have seen. So we have not only excellently reproduced animations but also realistic reactions, sounds, and relationships between the player and the animal.
In the game, we deliver packages, rescue animals, and traverse wild, open spaces. Sounds relaxing? Yes. But there is also something epic about it – something that reminds you of the best moments from Red Dead Redemption, just in a different culture and with a smaller gun.
From Kickstarter to the big screens – premiere set for 2025
On Kickstarter, the title broke the bank – raising over 504 thousand euros, although the creators aimed for only 60 thousand. 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 are looking for a game that will surprise you with its atmosphere, calm yet satisfying gameplay, and something “different from everything” – then Windstorm is definitely worth keeping on your radar.
