Wayfinder 1.0

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Wayfinders! The time has come!
After a long journey through Early Access, full of ups and downs, we are finally excited to release Wayfinder.

Wayfinder has been a passion project from the start, and from our entire crew at Airship, we appreciate every person who has played the game and given us positive and negative feedback.

Without that passion, Wayfinder would not be what it is today. While the game didn't start off where we finished, we're incredibly proud of the game we've made and you've told us that our decisions have resulted in a vastly superior and FUN Co-Op ARPG!

Enjoy.

Lora Lora is the vessel of a primal spirit—a deadly force that frightens even her allies. An orphan with few memories of her past, she’s determined to master this power before she loses anyone else.

(Passive) Channeling: Lora channels the power of her Avatar by damaging enemies with attacks and abilities. Once her power has fully charged, she enters the Channeling state, empowering her abilities.

Clobber: Launch a spirit fist forward, smashing through enemies in its path. Channeled: Lunge forward, expelling a massive spirit fist, causing additional break damage and knocking enemies back. Clobber’s cooldown is reset whenever Lora enters Channeling.

Possession: The Avatar exerts its presence, granting Lora a damage shield that reflects damage back to attackers for a short duration. Lora and nearby allies also gain a protective aura that reduces incoming damage. Channeled: The Avatar manifests to pull in and smash nearby enemies, and all party members gain the reflective damage shield in addition to the damage reduction aura.

Seismic Launch: Quickly dash forward, damaging any enemies in front of you. Channeled: Knocks back enemies while reducing incoming damage. The dash can be held and charged for increased distance.

Unleash: Unleash your spirit, transforming into the Avatar. The Avatar regenerates health, is greatly resistant to all damage, and can pummel enemies with its fists.

Lora has 8 collectible armor sets and 2 cosmetic personas.



The Crucible The final battle begins in The Crucible. The Eldren have occupied a shattered region known as The Crucible—a city-sized machine built by The Architects, reclaimed by nature and lost to time. In search of a powerful secret at The Crucible’s center, the Eldren intend to finish the war their gods started and pen the world a dark fate.
