Windrose developer Kraken Express says the game’s next major update will add a new biome called Ashlands and will take at least 6 months to finish. The studio said the game has been in early access for a couple of weeks and is doing well. [1]
Kraken Express said the update is ambitious and that the team wants to deliver a larger, expansion-like release rather than split the content into several smaller updates with less impact. The studio said, "our best bet right now this update will take at least 6 months to deliver." [1]
The developers also asked players to stay patient as work continues. "Some time ago we asked you to let us cook, and you did - it is now safe to say it was worth it. Please have faith in us once again, and we will make it worth the wait," Kraken Express said. [1]
The source report was published on 2026-05-05 and says the team is still working on the game while players wait for the Ashlands update. [1]
