Crosswind is NOT the Game You Thought - HUGE Changes!

Crosswind is NOT the game you thought it was… and the devs just confirmed some HUGE changes in Devblog #5. We’re talking a complete genre shift, a new volcanic Ashlands biome, reworked ships and crew, and a major monetization change that flips the entire launch plan.

In this video, I cover everything you need to know about the latest Crosswind news:
The Genre Shift - From MMO-lite to classic PvE co-op survival.
The Ashlands Biome - Volcanic danger, new enemies, and hidden treasures.
Upgraded Naval Gameplay - Visible, animated crews, recruitment, and better water physics.
Tortuga’s Overhaul - Now a besieged outpost under undead attack.
Buy-to-Play Model - Why free-to-play is out and a one-time purchase is in.
Early Access in 2026 - What to expect at launch and beyond.

Crosswind is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious pirate survival games we’ve seen in years - but is this the right move? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

What is Crosswind?
Set in an alternative Age of Piracy, Crosswind combines survival crafting, base building, intense boss fights, and seamless ship-to-shore combat. Battle through dangerous biomes, recruit your crew, and uncover supernatural secrets that threaten the seas.
