Wayfinder is ditching its free-to-play live-service model to become a paid, co-op RPG without microtransactions
Wayfinder, currently a free-to-play RPG developed by Airship Syndicate, is undergoing a pretty drastic change in its upcoming Echoes patch. Right now it's a live-service game with microtransactions, but soon it'll continue as a paid co-op RPG with no in-game monetisation.12 hours agoWayfinder Echoes Preview Event is LiveSteam ︎16 hours agoWayfinder’s Echoes update goes live for founders today as the game gets Steam Deck verifiedMassivelyOp ︎25 May 2024Current Wayfinder owners can beta test the big Echoes revamp right nowMassivelyOp ︎21 May 2024Flameseeker Chronicles: Previewing Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure’s final chapter, The Midnight KingMassivelyOp ︎16 May 2024Wayfinder pulls a reverse live service, takes out microtransactions and offers offline mode in its biggest update everVG247 ︎16 May 2024Interview: Wayfinder’s AJ LaSaracina on the Echoes transition, launch, and long-term plansMassivelyOp ︎15 May 2024Announcing Wayfinder Echoes - Forging Our Own PathSteam ︎15 May 2024Wayfinder’s summer Echoes update banishes always-online and microtransaction componentsMassivelyOp ︎09 Apr 2024Wayfinder sales are temporarily halted as Airship Syndicate assumes publishing from Digital ExtremesMassivelyOp ︎08 Apr 2024Wayfinder sales halted as developer promises a major rework of the game: 'We have no plans for it to disappear like so many online-only games'PC Gamer ︎25 Mar 2024Wayfinder says disentangling from Digital Extremes caused its lapse in updates and communicationMassivelyOp ︎28 Feb 2024Hotfix 0.2.4.1Steam ︎15 Feb 2024Wayfinder’s latest patch improves its performance and UIMassivelyOp ︎14 Feb 2024Performance Optimizations & UI Improvements NOW LIVE!Steam ︎09 Feb 2024Performance Optimizations & UI Improvements NOW LIVE!Steam ︎06 Feb 2024Wayfinder previews interface quality-of-life and damage reduction balancingMassivelyOp ︎05 Feb 2024Patch Preview: UI + Balance UpdatesSteam ︎01 Feb 2024Wayfinder studio Airship Syndicate says layoffs are necessary to ensure it 'can continue to operate and deliver great experiences'PC Gamer ︎31 Jan 2024Wayfinder studio Airship Syndicate is laying off a dozen staff as execs reduce their own payMassivelyOp ︎24 Jan 2024Wayfinder previews the optimization and performance upgrades coming in its February patchMassivelyOp ︎23 Jan 2024Patch Preview: Performance ImprovementsSteam ︎19 Jan 2024Patch 0.2.3.1Steam ︎11 Jan 2024Wayfinder’s releases Q1 2024 roadmap and jobs board update for dailies and weekliesMassivelyOp ︎11 Jan 2024Job Board Preview is LIVE! & Q1 Roadmap UpdateSteam ︎10 Jan 2024Wayfinder teases new roadmap, weapon, raids, pets, mounts, and more in new AMAMassivelyOp ︎25 Dec 2023Wayfinder’s studio vows continued progress: ‘The world is about to get a whole lot larger’MassivelyOp ︎19 Dec 2023Wayfinder’s Eventide holiday events are live alongside Senja rework and awakening systemMassivelyOp ︎16 Dec 2023v0.2- Eventide is LIVE!Steam ︎14 Dec 2023Wayfinder has stealth-launched a gigantic patch ahead of its winter holiday event FridayMassivelyOp ︎05 Dec 2023Wayfinder brings PlayStation 5 version up to par – with the return of crossplayMassivelyOp ︎04 Dec 2023December Patch PreviewSteam ︎28 Nov 2023Wayfinder previews December update, puts off stream in absence of finalized publishing planMassivelyOp ︎23 Nov 2023Respec Affinity Points Now Live!Steam ︎16 Nov 2023Patch 0.1.11.0Steam ︎16 Nov 2023Interview: Wayfinder pauses seasons as it hunts for a publisher and rebuilds roadmapMassivelyOp ︎
