Into the Wind is an open-world action-adventure for PC via Steam, developed by Bloom & Gloom Games and published by Three Friends. The game is planned for Steam Early Access, with playtesting recruitment underway and over 50,000 wishlists on Steam as of late August 2026.
Into the Wind is the first original game from Bloom & Gloom Games, a roughly 10-person studio in Malmo, Sweden, whose members previously worked on titles including The Division series and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The game was announced at PC Gaming Show 2026 on June 8, and gameplay footage followed at the Future Games Show at gamescom 2026 on August 27. Publisher Three Friends and developer Bloom & Gloom Games have not announced a release date.
Players control Milan, a delivery runner in the Santa Rosa islands who takes over his missing uncle Umberto's business. The core vehicle is Hermes, a self-aware bike-plane hybrid that rides on land and flies. The footage showed deliveries to island residents, flight mode combat against sky pirates with a machine gun, and a garage departure. Delivery mechanics account for cargo weight, fuel, weather, wind, road choices, shortcuts, and landing success. Packages range from delicate items to heavy loads. Earnings from jobs upgrade Hermes and unlock higher-difficulty deliveries, and players can customize appearances and decorate their home or crew base for progression bonuses.
The setting draws on the Adriatic Sea islands east of Italy, with small villages and coastal cafes. The main story follows the search for Umberto, who disappeared while investigating a mysterious cloud over the island of Santa Rosa. Steam store page notes that Hermes' behavior was tuned over a long period to balance realistic physics with arcade-like controls. The Steam page is live, the game will support Japanese, and it has attracted over 50,000 wishlists on Steam.

At the Future Games Show at gamescom 2026, held on August 27, developer Bloom & Gloom Games and publisher Three Friends released new gameplay footage for the action adventure game Into the Wind. The game casts players as a delivery person riding Hermes, a self-aware flying bike and airplane hybrid. The footage showed the protagonist departing from a garage, drifting through deliveries to island residents, and transitioning to flight mode to engage sky pirates with a machine gun. According to the Steam store page, Hermes' behavior was tuned over a long period to balance realistic physics with arcade-like controls, allowing for both easy handling and advanced techniques. Delivery mechanics are affected by cargo weight, fuel, weather, wind, road choices, shortcuts, and landing success. Packages range from delicate items to heavy loads that are difficult to carry across slopes. Players earn resources from jobs to upgrade Hermes, unlocking higher-difficulty deliveries. Between deliveries, they can customize the protagonist's and Hermes' appearances and decorate their home or crew base, with placed items granting progression bonuses. The main story involves searching for a missing uncle who disappeared while investigating a mysterious cloud over the island of Santa Rosa, modeled on the Adriatic Sea. Into the Wind is planned for Steam Early Access, with playtesting recruitment underway.
