Windblown | Announcement Trailer

Welcome to Windblown! Dead Cells’ hyperactive, sugar-rushed 3D sibling.

You play as a Leaper; one of our heroes, on a mission to defend the Ark from a very aggro Vortex. Absorb memories of fallen warriors, and then put them to good use by infusing their skills into your weapons. It’s what they would have wanted...

Dodge death solo, or with up to 2 friends!

Get ready to dash, die, and repeat!! Early Access launches in 2024, join our communities and help us shape this game!

havent seen a comment yet about how the chosen animals the characters are based on have regenrative abilities of some kind: salamander with tails and limbs, bats with ears, wings and digits and axolotol which can do almost anything .and in the trailer they can "revive" after dying. and the main character is an axolotol which is the best animal in doing just that

[meiyou-ren]

This looks amazing. Motion Twin never misses with the trailers.

[ryantheanimator]

Why can't we have more 2D animated series and movies with this level of animation?

[Seeker_of_Truth_and_Beauty]

Before I watch this, let me just say that I don't really care what this game is, I'll buy it because I trust y'all to do a good job, and I'll have fun with it anyways because there's clearly passion here. :D


Edit 4 months later: oh for the love of everything holy, SHUT UP ALL OF YOU. I know it's not typically good consumer practice to blindly support any company, but there's a concept many of you don't understand called "transactional goodwill".

This dev team has earned some good faith and respect because they went above and beyond with all the free updates and excellent DLC's they've done with Dead Cells, and because I'm choosing to not be a pessimistic jackass, I'm willing to support this next project of theirs, even if there's a chance it won't be my new favorite game, because even if I won't enjoy it so much, with my support they can give that same experience I had with Dead Cells to more people.

You can give those who earn it a break from all the bitching and whining. And if they take it for granted and grow complacent, by all means you hold their feet to the fire again.

I love that the teacher gave one of their apprentices a bloody nose with a stick and used that same stick covered in blood to greatly emphasize something on the board. It’s the respect to the tiniest details that really makes me happy.

[haveiszalfaroqie]

It's only an animated trailer, but those three guys already living free in my head.

[raslanzorba]

I thought he was going to die at the end, guess I'm used to Dead Cells trailers!

[GVon]

It's amazing what can be accomplished in today's era of technology, creativity, and opportunity. Deadcells started out as an independent side scroller game and they expanded into a great gaming company. I hope the founders continue to grow the company and create more amazing games and treat their employees well.

[twiptwip]

I really hope it’s fun I have faith in these devs to make a great game

[MoonShadeStuff]

Who the hell animated this, this is top notch quality, absolutely amazing!

[VladShpiro]

Dead Cells was an instant classic, when they did the Symphony of the Night homage - they won my heart completely. Hope this one pops off as well!

[SaidSquirrel]

Y'all always go hard with you're animated trailers, and I'm all for it. We get a cartoon series for this too in the future i hope😶

[KingKrusha]

very cool, great animation as always, I hope the multiple characters in the trailer means its multiplayer but very cool character designs regardless!

[teynryn]

00:17 - 00:22 perfectly describes giving newbies cool gear before rushing off to a high lvl boss….ah, the memories 😋

[Bionic_Cross]

Common Motion Twin W! Can't wait to get my hands on this game, it looks super fun! I'm also interested in seeing the potential crossover between Windblown and Dead Cells. I'm excited for this on every front!

[saigesplayce]

Bro this animation needs to be made into a series. I have watched this 5 times already, stopping at pretty much every frame. The soundtrack that was in the trailer was beautiful, too!

Also, it looks so good that I think the animation team was the same one who worked on the Laika: Aged Through Blood game and the Cult Of The Lamb trailers.

[AstroVorteX]

Didnt except it to be 3D but this looks amazing! You guys really make some cool trailers

[eptymanyo]

Really good music here, hope devs (or composer) released it full version like it was with Dead Cells trailers back in the days. Also hype for the new game too, of course.

[DragonMasterSubo]

Motion Twin on their communities: "Why bother? What do we owe them?"

Can't wait to support Evil Empire's next game. Never supporting MT again.

[katanamaru]

I normally don't like that isometric view, but with the reputation and experience of Dead Cells I'll be getting this!
Way to go Motion Twin!
