KRAFTONĀ today revealedĀ Project Windless, a new open-world action RPG set in the fantasy universe ofĀ The Bird That Drinks Tears, during Sony PlayStationā€™s State of Play showcase. Developed byĀ KRAFTON MontrĆ©al Studio, this single-player title introduces players to a vast world of myth, war, and legendary heroes.
Epic Open-World Action
Project Windless is designed as a premium, player-driven RPG, combining non-linear storytelling with visceral, mastery-based combat and massive real-time battles. Powered byĀ Unreal Engine 5, player decisions shape alliances and the broader conflict across a dynamic, living world.
Set in The Bird That Drinks Tears Universe
The game is set 1,500 years before the original novels by Lee Yeong-do, during a largely unexplored mythical age. Players will encounter four intelligent racesā€”Humans, Rekon, Nhaga, and Tokkebiā€”each with unique cultures, conflicts, and perspectives. Project Windless serves as an entry point for newcomers while expanding the universe for longtime fans.
Play as the Hero King
Players assume the role of the Hero King, a mighty Rekon warrior with twin star-forged blades. Cut through dozens of foes, confront massive creatures, and lead allied forces in large-scale battles. Reputation and alliances shape the foundations of future kingdoms as your actions influence the course of history.
Massive Real-Time Battles
At the heart of Project Windless isĀ Mass Technology, enabling thousands of soldiers and colossal creatures to fight in real time. Combat is fast-paced and skill-based, blending precise personal action with the scale of full-scale warfare, allowing players to influence battles directly rather than issuing commands from afar.
Global Development Effort
Development is led byĀ KRAFTON MontrĆ©al Studio, in collaboration with KRAFTON teams in Pangyo, South Korea, combining Western AAA development expertise with authentic Korean mythology-inspired worldbuilding.
