Windstorm Studio announces new Open World Horse Riding Adventure

Aesir Interactive, the studio behind single player horse games Ostwind/Windstorm (2017) and Windstorm: Ari’s Arrival (2019) is working on a new horse-themed project: Under the working title “Stable Girl”, the German team has qualified for funding at FFF Bayern, Bavaria’s film and media sponsorship program.

The official announcement of funded game projects for November 2019 lists Stable Girl under the genre tags “Horse Riding Adventure, Simulation, Builder”. The project is scheduled to receive a grant of 150 000€ for the production of a prototype. 

In the FFF announcement, the game is described as follows: (translation by The Mane Quest)

The run-down horse farm on which the player finds themselves can be shaped and expanded for horse breeding through the completion of various quests (management and riding tasks). On foot or on horseback, the game’s open world can be explored. A relationship system which enables friendships with NPCs and animals drives the story forward.

If Aesir can deliver on the ambitious concept, “Stable Girl” may well turn out to be the game we’ve all been waiting for. If you want to keep tabs on the project, make sure to follow Aesir Interactive on Facebook to be updated as soon as more information is available. 

Aesir CEO and long time horse rider Wolfgang Emmer contacted The Mane Quest for a very interesting chat about Aesir’s existing and planned horse games. Stay tuned for a more detailed insight into the the development of Windstorm and Aesir’s plans for Stable Girl.
