Back in June of this year, Airship Syndicate had a mini relaunch of Wayfinder in the form of the Echoes update. This update morphed what was originally an MMORPG, focused on group activities and a shared online experience. Into a game that focuses on being a single ARPG with a cohesive and linear experience. This update alongside a small batch of quality-of-life updates were a lead up to the game’s 1.0 launch out of early access. Including a server browser for people to still play together as they please, better fluidity of combat and more. All of it culminating in the game’s full launch yesterday. Here is everything you can expect in the game now that it is out early access!

What to Expect in Wayfinder 1.0

On top of 7 already existing wayfinders, and two open world zones. Wayfinder 1.0 adds a third zone to the game, and an 8th wayfinder. As well as a whole new story chapter to round out the overall narrative, and new lost zones to adventure in. Lora, the 8th wayfinder has a mixture of defensive abilities suited for co-op, and powerful abilities that suit solo play very well. From being able to send forth orbs of energy that damage everything in their path, to turning into a hulking beast to tank groups of enemies and being able to deflect enemy attacks for her and her allies.

The new open world zone, The Crucible also has a unique twist for traversal. Namely, the grappling hook that allows you to explore the gorgeous and open environment worry free. There are 6 new weapons, more than 15 new armor sets for all wayfinders and more housing items for your personal apartment.

Wayfinder 1.0 is a free update for existing owners of the game, and the game can be purchased on Steam for $22.49, with compatibility on Steam Deck, and $24.99 on PlayStation 5. With a release on Xbox planned for later this year.

There is also an optional supporter pack, which includes multiple skins from Critical Role. This supporter pack is $19.99 and includes:

  • Lora as Keyleth
  • Grendel as Grog Strongjaw
  • Niss as Vax’ildan
  • Venomess as Vex’ahlia
  • 1 Trinket Mount & Saddle
  • 4 Character Charms
  • 15 Housing Items
  • 10 Sprays
