Play as The Arcanist, Explore The Massive Open-World Crucible, Slay The Campaign, and Loot Your Way Through Wayfinder’s Ultimate Character-based ARPG Experience
AUSTIN, TX, October 15, 2024 – Wayfinder, the highly anticipated co-op action RPG from Airship Syndicate, will officially launch on October 21. Originally designed as an online only experience, Wayfinder has undergone a complete transformation into a fully-fledged, co-op ARPG. Through numerous updates, Airship Syndicate has updated the game with new zones, characters, quests, enemies, story moments, loot and more, all fueled by player feedback from Early Access. The 1.0 launch marks the arrival of the definitive Wayfinder experience – all for one price with no microtransactions—Wayfinder promises endless adventure for solo players and co-op teams alike. Wayfinder will be available on Steam, Playstation and Xbox for $24.99.
What is Wayfinder? – Team Up, Explore & Collect!
Wayfinder takes players into the shattered world of Evenor, where they must harness the power of a Wayfinder to push back the hostile force known as the Gloom. With seven eight distinct Wayfinders, each with unique abilities, backstories, and playstyles, players can adventure offline and solo, or team up in 3-player co-op to save Evenor. Players will experience a full campaign as well as explore randomized dungeons called Lost Zones, and 3 large open world areas, as they collect over 3,000 unique weapons, armor, housing decorations and more!
Official assets can be found in the press kit here. New trailer can be found here.
Coming at Launch!
The Crucible & More
The full release introduces The Crucible, a sprawling open-world zone filled with quests, mini-bosses, and secrets. This region, reclaimed by nature and lost to time, was once a machine built by the Architects but is now occupied by the Eldren. The Crucible promises to be a challenge like no other, as players fight to stop the Eldren from completing their dark mission. Take a fly through of the Crucible here.
To get around this massive zone, the Hookshot debuts, allowing players to navigate the enormous, vertical environment of the Crucible with ease. This tool makes getting around the massive area both fun and practical, as players can explore hidden areas and avoid the dangers lurking in every corner.
The Crucible also brings with it two brand-new randomized dungeons, as well as new quests and repeatable patrol missions for incredible levels of exploration and endless replayability.
Your Wayfinder, Your Way.
With new upgrade systems like Talent trees and Wayfinder Ranks, an overhauled Echoes (mods) system, the move to randomized weapon drops, and a new armor system – no two builds will ever be the same! With changes that allow for collecting the full Wayfinder Roster early on, removing the need to grind for characters, Airship Syndicate has also added 21 armor sets for the 7 current Wayfinders and 40+ weapons usable by all Wayfinders really allowing players to make their favorite their own! Speaking of Wayfinders…
The 8th Wayfinder
Teased ever since the Early Access announcement, the game’s eighth Wayfinder is finally heeding the call to help push back the Gloom. This powerful Arcanist brings new magical ways to fight against the Gloom and is sure to become a staple of any dungeon run. More details on this mysterious new Wayfinder will be revealed later this week!
Haven’t played in awhile?
Just over a year ago, Airship Syndicate released Wayfinder into Early Access on Steam to an initially tepid response. The team has been rebuilding the game hand-in-hand with players ever since, and vigilance has paid off: turning a “Mixed” score into a “Very Positive” on Steam (and still climbing!).
The game will be unrecognizable to previous players when jumping in on October 21! Why? Check out the new features:
- Offline Soloable Campaign w/ Customizable Difficulties: Complete the campaign solo or with two friends in drop-in co-op. Multiple difficulty options allow players to tailor the challenge to their playstyle.
- Find a Party System. With the move to a single player, local save ARPG, the Find Party System allows you to host a game for your friends or open the the public and supports Cross Play across PC, Playstation 5 or Xbox!
- All Microtransactions Removed: All 3,000+ previously sold in-game items are now loot drops and rewards just for playing. Plus, new mounts, skins, housing items, and more, have been added to the in-game loot at each update.
- Performance Optimizations. Every major patch released since Early Access has had improvements to performance, and 1.0 continues by bringing NVIDIA DLSS 3 to the game alongside Steam Deck Verification and improved frame rate on PS5. With these updates and the removal of servers the game looks and plays the best it ever has.
The Critical Role Supporter Pack
As part of the launch celebration, Wayfinder is teaming up with Critical Role to bring the world of Vox Machina to Wayfinder. The Critical Role Supporter Pack will introduce over 30 unique items inspired by the series and its characters. Fans can look forward to seeing their favorite Vox Machina characters and collecting all the Critical Role-themed items when the supporter pack goes on sale October 21.
