Evenor is a place of many sights and sounds. One location, like the Deep of Bal Mol, will engulf you with eerie and melodic music that feels like it’s drumming beneath you. While something tranquil, like the beautiful sounds of Skylight, will remind you that this bastion of hope is your home in Wayfinder.

Wayfinder’s unique sound is scored by Gareth Coker, acclaimed composer of incredible titles like Ori and the Blind Forest, ARK, Halo Infinite, and Ruined King: A League of Legends Story.



“Scoring Wayfinder and bringing the world of Evenor to life alongside the Gloom has led to a really fun and interesting exploration into both my organic and synthetic musical writing, thanks to the freedom Airship Syndicate have given me on my third collaboration with them. I'm looking forward to watching and learning from players' experiences in Early Access and ref... Read more

Greetings Wayfinders. It feels great to be able to share the updates we have made in the game! We’re thankful for those of you that have continued on this journey and thank you for the continued support you are showing us on all platforms.

We understand that our Early Access launch could have been better. We are committed to make good for the frustration and for the time you lost when playing.

We are incredibly relieved to announce that our various server related issues have been addressed allowing players to play almost instantly with essentially no queue!

The team has been working non-stop this past week to address the #1 player concern - Server stability and queue wait times.



While we continue to make various network optimizations behind the scenes, we are excited to start turning our focus to the main goal of our Early Access period, making improvement to the game, its systems, player balance and bug squashing.

If you tried to play Wayfinder earlier this week and were discouraged by lengthy queues and connectivity issues, we humbly invite you back.

The player compensation packages will be announced next week. This will be granted to all players who had previously played the game whether you had no issue getting in... Read more

Yesterday sucked. There is no other way to say it. It sucked for people who purchased Founder’s Packs and couldn’t play, and it sucked for us to see players unable to get into the game after believing in us and our vision.

Early Access isn’t a crutch. It’s a conversation between a studio and the community that’s helping build the game alongside the studio. We said from the start that we’d be transparent and open with the community and that continues now that we have players entrusting us with their money, and us failing to deliver.

SERVERS AND LOGIN Although we ran technical tests and betas across multiple regions, we were seeing more players every minute than played in our Beta each day. Although we had a queue system ready, that system failed immediately. We quickly implemented numerous fixes to try and stabilize the login experience and those failed as well. We ended up having to put a cap on the players that were on the server which was less than ideal and result... Read more

Wayfinders,

We’re ironing out some final issues to ensure a smooth start to early access for players on PC and PlayStation and need additional time.

This means we will be delaying the start of early access on PC by a couple of days. Wayfinder will launch on Steam and Founders Packs will go on sale August 17 at 12 p.m. CT.

Both Airship Syndicate and Digital Extremes’ teams are working tirelessly to ensure the best possible start to early access for Founders - we apologize for the delay. We look forward to meeting you in Evenor this week, and to commencing our journey together with you.

Early Access for Wayfinder begins on August 15, and we want to ensure that you are as prepared as you can be to choose your path and stand up to the Gloom.

After a long day of fighting the Gloom, having a safe and cozy place to call your own is going to be luxurious, and sooo necessary! In our recent and very first Dev Stream, we were excited to announce that Early Access on August 15 would feature Apartments, our first iteration of Player Housing, which you can customize with a variety of decorative items and even items that will help you on your adventures outside of your home!



This system will continue to grow ov... Read more
