Buried in a dark corner of a 2021 Krafton financial report was a mention of something called Project Windless, an adaptation of a Korean fantasy novel series called The Bird That Drinks Tears. We've had a few glimpses of it since then, and there's a handful of concept art posted on developer Krafton Montreal's website, but today we got our first real look at it in the State of Play showcase, and hoo boy, this is something.

I'm going to encourage you to just watch the trailer straight away, because I feel like if I try to explain it in advance, you will think I'm joking. Maybe you won't if you're familiar with The Bird That Drinks Tears, but I am not, and so I expected something thoughtful, meditative, poetic: A bit like a videogame take on the Jet Li classic Hero. That is not what The Bird That Drinks Tears is.
