Our 7 Wayfinders are distinct & completely different, every with their very own backstory, gear, skills and (pun meant) ways-to-find new experiences internationally. You begin out with one hero and shortly rescue the complete roster from the Gloom so you’ll be able to degree, customise, and swap between them at will. However you don’t must struggle alone! Two others can be part of you for 3-player on-line, drop-in cross play co-op as you struggle via Evenor amassing over 3,000 weapons, armors, housing decorations and extra!
We’ve been in Early Entry for the previous yr, fine-tuning the sport based mostly on participant suggestions we’re seeing from our tremendous engaged group. I wish to give an enormous thanks to Wayfinders outdated and new from all of us at Airship– you make the sport higher every replace.
