After recently announcing PS5 and PC cross-play, Airship Syndicate announced that its co-op, indie, ARPG dungeon crawler, Wayfinder, will officially exit early access on October 21. Along with the full version 1.0 release, Wayfinder will introduce both a new playable area, called The Crucible, and a new vertical traversal tool, called a Hookshot, specifically designed to explore the ruins of the ancient city. The announcement comes with gameplay footage (see on the PlayStation Blog) of the overgrown, gloomy mega-mech that was built by the ancients to fight a war but has since been reclaimed by nature. The new map adds an extra degree of verticality to the game, giving the developers an opportunity to expand the player experience and arsenal.
In addition to the new region and extended mobility options, Airship Syndicate is teaming up with Critical Role for a paid DLC that will add The Legend of Vox Machina characters to Wayfinder as playable characters. Although exact pricing of the DLC is unknown both the Critical Role DLC Supporter Pack and The Crucible will be available on October 21. After the update, players will still be able to play in both single-player and co-op modes, just like before.
Wayfinder is still available in early access until October 21, and the game can be had for $24.99 on Steam and the PlayStation Store. While the game initially launched to Early Access as free-to-play under Digital Extremes, but was forced to change strategies, re-launching after the publishing division of DE made budget cuts in November last year. Since then, the game seems to have grown from strength to strength under the indie developer's care, with recent updates to the game raising its Steam user reviews from "Mixed" to "Mostly Positive."
The Hookshot coming to the October 21 update seems like an interesting way for the developers to build out future functionality and expand the game's limits similarly to how Monster Hunter Rise's Wirebug revitalized that franchise for veteran players.
Airship Syndicate describes Wayfinder in the latest announcement as follows:
Wayfinder is an ARPG where players assume the roles of various Wayfinders to push back a hostile force called the Gloom. With a single player campaign that can be played solo or with up to two friends, as well as endless replayability through randomized dungeons and end game activities, Wayfinder is packed with content for you and your friends to enjoy; all for one price with no microtransactions.Our 7 Wayfinders are distinct & different, each with their own backstory, gear, abilities and (pun intended) ways-to-find new experiences across the world. You start out with one hero and quickly rescue the full roster from the Gloom so you can level, customize, and swap between them at will. But you don't need to fight alone! Two others can join you for 3-player online, drop-in cross play co-op as you fight through Evenor collecting over 3,000 weapons, armors, housing decorations and more!
We've been in Early Access for the past year, fine-tuning the game based on player feedback we're seeing from our super engaged community. I want to give a huge thank you to Wayfinders old and new from all of us at Airship- you make the game better each update.
