Windjammers 2 will combine everything fans love about the classic title with entirely hand-drawn 2D animations to create the ultimate windjamming experience.

Windjammers is the best flying power disc game ever made, ever, and now is even better than ever made, ever, with new stages and players, surprising and amazing new power moves. The coming sequel also promises enhanced gameplay mechanics for today’s ultimate disc throwers.

Windjammers 2 also features enhanced online multiplayer gameplay modes, providing rewarding competition for those looking for the ultimate challenge at home via their PC, on the beach with their Switch, or anytime and anyplace they feel the need to jam. Robust single-player modes are included for those who like to jam solo or hone their disc-craft offline in full neon spandex cosplay.

Competitors can incorporate all-new jumps, smashes, and slapshots while giving their all on the court, making Windjammers 2 a true elevation of the series’ style of action so revered it’s found a home among the fighting game esports community. You heard that right, Windjammers is totally on the pro esports circuit, dude. 


Dotemu shared a first look at Windjammers 2’s overhauled Arcade Mode while also confirming the renowned Steve Miller’s return to the court.

Windjammers 2’s Arcade Mode allows superstars to conquer championships while playing solo, offering up a gauntlet of matches against AI opponents as well as optional challenges, which reward versatile competitors able to adapt their playstyles on the fly. Strong performances will earn credits, which can save players from falling out of a tournament should they ever lose a match. Arcade Mode is a great starting point for beginners and brings the world of Windjammers to life, adding color to each athlete’s story through personalized endings after they rise through the ranks and dominate rivals.

Today’s video also confirms the return of Steve Miller, an agile power disc-flinging icon who stands as a balanced choice for newcomers and Windjammers veterans alike. Although Steve’s throws range on the weaker side of the roster, he’s agile and a natural at pulling off reversals along with tricky curved shots.

Following extensive feedback from the passionate Windjammers community, Dotemu is also pleased to confirm Windjammers 2 will implement rollback netcode, a technique often viewed as the best option for providing smooth online play for games built around swift, precise action.

Fans can experience the difference this makes in the heat of their own matches by jumping into Windjammers 2’s rollback-incorporating Steam Game Festival demo, which is available until Feb. 9, 2021.
