Highly Anticipated MMO "Wayfinder" Launches Into Paid Early Access on Steam & PlayStation

Wayfinder, a fast paced looter shooter/slasher RPG, launched into early access today on Steam and PlayStation. The game bills itself as an MMO and is published by Digital Extremes, the company best known for Warframe. While the game's early access requires a founders pack, the full game will be free to play when it launches next year.

The core gameplay in Wayfinder is a bit similar to Warframe in that its a fast paced looter shooter, but with distinctly cartoony graphics which look great. The game currently has 11,072 players online on Steam. It currently has mixed reviews on Steam, but the vast majority of negative reviews today complain about launch issues.

Airship Syndicate is dedicated to using Early Access to build a strong foundation for years to come when Wayfinder launches free-to-play next year. Players in Early Access will adventure through six locations, collect six Wayfinders, and hunt powerful bosses to craft 17 weapons at launch, with even more planned throughout the season. Players in Early Access are entitled to so much more than access to the game – exclusive rewards are available to players based on the Founder’s Pack purchased. Four Founder’s Pack tiers are available from Basic to Exalted: the higher the tier, the more exclusive the rewards. Founder’s rewards highlights include Heroic Kyros, the first Heroic-level Wayfinder available exclusively in Wayfinder’s Exalted Pack, the Highlands Strider Mount and Saddle, available only in Awakened and Exalted Packs, and the Founder’s Dye Set, available in the Initiate Pack and above. All Founder’s Packs will also include an allotment of Runesilver, Wayfinder’s in-game currency. For complete details about Founder’s Packs, check out this page that breaks it all down.
