This morning, Dotemu shared a documentary showcasing the making of the upcoming Windjammers 2.

The documentary, Windjammers 2 – An Arcade Legacy in 2022, pulls back the curtains and takes a deep dive into the development cycle for the unexpected sequel. CEO Cyrille Imbert reveals that the first challenge Dotemu faced was obtaining the rights to work on both the Windjammers remake, as well as the sequel. From the beginning, Dotemu had a keen interest in the IP and hoped to revitalize it for modern audiences.

Overall, the Windjammers 2 documentary is a love letter to the original game and a celebration of the sequel’s completion.
