News | 14 February
The grand tapestry of Korean fantasy is finally coming to the global stage in the form of a massive video game. KRAFTON, in collaboration with KRAFTON Montreal Studio, has officially announced Project Windless, a single-player open-world action RPG adapted from the legendary novel series by Lee Yeong-do, The Bird That Drinks Tears. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, this project promises a cinematic experience that blends epic storytelling with large-scale battles unlike anything seen before.
While the game is rooted in the world of The Bird That Drinks Tears, you don’t need to have read the novels to enjoy the experience. Project Windless is set approximately 1,500 years before the events of the original story, during a mythical age where legends were still being forged. This world is inhabited by four unique intelligent races:
-
Humans: Driven by ambition and complex conflicts.
-
Rekon: Towering, humanoid bird beings known for their immense physical strength.
-
Nhaga: A mysterious race with its own distinct culture.
-
Tokkebi: Spirits from Korean mythology who are as playful as they are powerful.
In this adventure, you assume the role of the Hero King, a mighty warrior of the Rekon race. As a Rekon, you possess overwhelming physical power and are armed with twin star-forged blades. You will face staggering odds—from cutting through dozens of enemies at once to confronting colossal creatures and leading allied forces in massive wars.
One of the standout features of Project Windless is the use of Mass Technology. This innovation allows thousands of soldiers and massive creatures to clash in real time across dynamic battlefields. You won't just be giving orders from afar; you’ll be right in the thick of the chaos, where every strike and tactical decision you make will turn the tide of battle.
KRAFTON has emphasized that Project Windless is designed as a premium single-player experience. This means the game will have no multiplayer components or wearying live-service elements. The game features a non-linear structure where your decisions shape alliances between races, influence global conflicts, and ultimately allow you to write your own history within the world.
The game is currently in development for PC and consoles, including PlayStation 5. While an official release date has yet to be announced, KRAFTON has released the first developer diary on their official YouTube channel to give fans a deeper look into their creative vision and the world they are building.
