With over 2,000 changes and adjustments to the game, performance and UI optimizations, and brand new content & progression systems, Wayfinder is ready to say “HELLO” to 2024 and beyond!
AUSTIN - December 14th, 2023 - Airship Syndicate (Darksiders Genesis, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story) are excited to announce the launch of Wayfinder v0.2 - Eventide! This update is the first for Airship Syndicate as both Publisher and Developer as Digital Extremes transitions control of the game to Airship. While a monumental task for an independent developer, the team is hard at work delivering on their promise to support the game well into the future. That effort that starts today.
Wayfinder v0.2
This update introduces Wayfinder’s biggest fundamental update yet. With over 2,000 fixes and adjustments, almost every system, ability, weapon, enemy, location and Wayfinder has seen some improvement.
Some of the exciting things players can experience in v0.2:
Server & client performance gains
UI updates
5 brand new weapons to earn in-game
Reworks of Senja and all ranged weapons
Awaken Wayfinders, by empowering them with increased stats and echo capacity while breaking past the level 30 cap
Combat and movement changes
The ability to use XP Caches to level alts faster
Exclusive new cosmetics earned in-game
The full 79-page, 27,430 word Patch Notes can be viewed here!
Airship Syndicate invites players who haven’t visited Evenor since Early Access launch to jump in and play. Since the Early Access launch in August, Wayfinder has come a long way. The crew has learned along the way and been listening to feedback from the community. v0.2- Eventide is the first step forward for an independent team and they’re incredibly excited. .
This is an incredible milestone for the team. This patch represents months of improvements to the game, a large part of which came directly from community feedback. The community’s passion for the game and desire to see it meet its potential is palpable, and the game is much better for it. We are excited to finally get these improvements and fixes in players’ hands! While this huge patch is exciting, it was also agonizing sitting on a lot of these fixes and improvements for so long. We’ll be keeping our more frequent, meaningful updates that we began last month rather than infrequent huge drops, so we can have a smoother back and forth with the community. We are especially thankful to our fans that have been supportive since we began this transition. It’s meant a lot to the team and we are super grateful.

EVENTIDE
The solstice approaches. Darkness gathers and the elements converge. But briefly one might enter the Eventide Vale, where the vessels of winter wake to bring forth a bitter, unforgiving cold.
Eventide is Wayfinder’s first seasonal event! Spanning four weeks, Eventide invites players to hop into the game for some festive holiday events.
This event features a brand new quest chain, a new event boss, a seasonal expedition and dozens of challenges that players can complete to earn Revel Rubies which can then be exchanged for exclusive and festive cosmetics!
Wayfinder is available in Early Access now on Steam, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
