Things move fast when there's no wind holding you back. It was only last week that we showed you the first footage of A Valley Without Wind 2, and now it's available to pre-purchase from Steam (currently at 60% off in the sale). That'll give you access to the beta, which has just been launched, though if you already own the first AVWW, the beta should now be automagically in your game library.

A Valley Without Wind 2 is due out in February. If you already own the first game, you'll be getting it for free. As for what you'll be getting, here's a new trailer full of footage and GIANT WORDS.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
