Shark Jump has announced Winds of Viridia, an action-adventure game that will take players into a mysterious wilderness filled with dangerous creatures, ancient ruins, and secrets waiting to be uncovered. The game is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam in early 2027, and players can already try out a demo on both platforms.
Set in a valley surrounding the towering Grantree, Winds of Viridia follows an expedition into forgotten lands where creatures have been driven into a violent frenzy. Players will explore the wilderness, investigate the cause of this strange phenomenon, battle fearsome beasts, and uncover powerful relics along the way.
Exploration places a strong emphasis on movement, allowing players to roll, slide, flip, and grapple their way through a handcrafted world featuring mountain glades, hidden grottos, and vast ancient ruins. Strange plants can also provide new ways to traverse the environment, opening up further opportunities to explore its secrets.
Combat will see players face a variety of frenzied creatures and formidable bosses, while a companion known as Mothbug can lend a hand during exploration and battles. Players will also encounter the residents of Sanctuary, make new friends, and discover more about the world as they venture deeper into the wilderness.
Winds of Viridia is scheduled to launch for Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam in early 2027. A demo is available now for both platforms.
