Krafton revealed Project Windless during PlayStation’s State of Play, announcing an action RPG adaptation of Lee Youngdoo’s fantasy saga. The game casts players as an anthropomorphic chicken warrior who slices through massive hordes in a stylized, often brutal combat system set across a mythic open world on PS5.

  • Source material: Project Windless is based on the South Korean novel series The Bird That Drinks Tears by Lee Youngdoo, first published in the early 2000s.
  • Combat and scale: The reveal trailer emphasized large‑scale skirmishes with hundreds of enemies on screen, leaning into a hack‑and‑slash flow reminiscent of Dynasty Warriors titles.
  • Protagonist and tone: The lead is an anthropomorphic, blade‑adept fowl — visual whimsy meets gritty violence as the character takes on cultish and monstrous foes.
  • Setting and goals: Players are presented with a war‑torn, high‑fantasy landscape where alliances, sieges, and kingdom‑building appear to be key narrative hooks.
  • Development status: Krafton lists the project as a single‑player open‑world action RPG for PlayStation 5; the working title and lack of a release window suggest it’s early in development.
