Confirmed Platforms
Project Windless is in development for PlayStation 5 (including PS5 Pro), PC, and additional consoles. The State of Play reveal trailer was captured on PS5 Pro running pre-alpha builds. KRAFTON's official wording is that the game is targeting consoles and PC; the publisher has not yet broken out a granular per-platform list beyond PS5.
Platform | Status |
|---|---|
PlayStation 5 / PS5 Pro | Confirmed in the State of Play reveal trailer and KRAFTON press materials |
PC | Confirmed by KRAFTON in press materials and on the official Project Windless website |
Xbox Series X|S | Listed across coverage of the reveal as a target platform; KRAFTON's own announcement names PlayStation 5 specifically and refers to other consoles generically |
Nintendo Switch | Not announced. No hints or coverage have suggested a Switch version. |
Last-Gen Consoles (PS4, Xbox One) | Not announced. The game is targeting current generation hardware only. |
Release Date
No release date has been announced. KRAFTON's official statement reads: "Additional details, including the release window, will be announced at a later date." Early press coverage in late 2023 mentioned a 2026 release window, but KRAFTON has not committed publicly to that target, and 2026 has passed its midpoint without a launch or a renewed commitment. The State of Play trailer presented pre-alpha footage, which leaves room for continued development before launch.
As of August 2026 the release window is still unannounced. KRAFTON's second-quarter 2026 results, published on July 29, 2026, named five upcoming titles due by 2027 that the publisher would show at gamescom 2026, and Project Windless was not among them. The lineup announcements that followed covered only those five games, and the show itself bore them out: KRAFTON presented the same five titles during the gamescom opening showcase on August 25, 2026, and the booth it opened the following day carried the same five. None of those announcements gave a window for Project Windless, and neither withdrew the game from development.
Working Title
"Project Windless" reads as a development codename rather than a final retail name, and the project was described that way when it first surfaced publicly in 2022. KRAFTON has not confirmed a final name, and has not said whether the game will ship under this one.
Game Model
Project Windless is a premium, single-player experience. There are no multiplayer modes, co-op modes, or live-service components, and KRAFTON has been explicit that this is a one-time-purchase, play-offline title in the traditional mold. The publisher is KRAFTON, Inc.
Developer
The game is developed by KRAFTON Montréal Studio, led by Patrik Méthé. The studio was publicly announced in February 2023 as KRAFTON's first Canadian AAA studio, and Project Windless is its debut title.
Reveal Coverage
The game was unveiled at Sony's State of Play on February 12, 2026. The reveal included a pre-alpha gameplay trailer and the first developer diary featuring Patrik Méthé and other core team members.
