The upcoming game Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori is set in 13th century Mongolia and allows players to breed, raise, train, and ride horses across a vast landscape while assuming the role of a courier rider. The game aims to combine detailed horse gameplay with an immersive story in a beautiful Mongolian landscape, appealing to both horse lovers and those interested in exploring the environment.

Players must create a detailed plan to navigate obstacles in the wilderness before embarking on horseback delivery missions. The game includes a breeding system to breed horses with specific traits such as speed, endurance, and the ability to handle obstacles or harsh climates. The developers aim to balance authenticity with game enjoyment, ensuring high expectations from the community are met.

The Windstorm series has a history of mounted archery challenges, which will be featured in the new game with improvements. A Kickstarter campaign was launched to fund the creation of the Legend of Khiimori, reaching 150% of its goal in one day, indicating a strong interest from horse riding enthusiasts. The game designers have focused on incorporating as much detail as possible into the game, drawing on the importance of horses in Mongolian society and input from equestrians on the development team.
