Online ARPG Wayfinder hits Early Access in August

Out of Beta, into Early Access

The online Action RPG Wayfinder is almost ready for Early Access. After a handful of beta events, Digital Extremes on August 15. Founder’s Packs will be available in several tiers with each offering access to Wayfinder as well as two seasons of unique rewards. Of course, each founder’s pack has its own separate cosmetic rewards as well. The ARPG will launch on both PC (Steam) and PlayStation with full cross-play and cross-save support.

Publisher Digital Extremes and developer Airship Syndicate also unveiled an all-new playable sharpshooter class called the Venomess: here’s the trailer showing off the new class and announcing the upcoming Early Access.

An interactive Battle Pass that never expires

Each founder’s pack will also grant you access to the Season 1 and 2 Reward Towers. This unique battle pass will allow you to choose your own path toward earning unique seasonal rewards. Unlocks from the Rewards Tower include exclusive characters, Sprays, Charms, pets, and other cosmetics. Interestingly, each season’s Battle Pass in Wayfinder never expires allowing pl𒈔ayers to grind it out how they want and when they w💧ant.

I had the chance to play in the Wayfinders beta and it definitely shows some promise. The fast-paced combat felt quite satisfying. Also, the varying playstyles of each class provide the potential for true class identity and agency. Overall it was way too mission-based for my liking, but that’s exactly what Waframe fans are accustomed to. The ability to team up with friends and blast through high-intensity action in an online setting is great, even if it’s not quite MMO-like. Even Warframe opened up into the more traditional MMO experience over time, so perhaps Wayfinder w♏ill do its own t𓄧wist with Airship Syndicate at the helm.

Wayfinder hits early access on PC (𒁃Steam) and ꧂PlayStation on August 15.
