[h3]Call of the Void: Live Event and New Content[/h3][hr][/hr]While we’re releasing new content, we are continuously working on improving current gameplay to make your Wayfinder experience better. We’re thrilled to announce our very first live event – Call of the Void – along with an exciting array of new content! Let’s dive into your first look at this upcoming update.

Omen and Wolf need you! Strange rifts are appearing across the Highlands, and we’re calling upon your courage and curiosity to join us in unraveling its secrets. Your mission is to explore these rifts, where untold mysteries and surprises await your discovery.


We’re introducing 2 new quests to challenge your skills. One of these quests will have you brave the fires of chaos as you confront the formidable Talon of Pyre in Harbingers of Chaos. The Final Score unlocks the fearsome Bloodbore, a weapon that has been constructed in secret within the Mines and is prepared to stop Wayfinders in their tracks!



Venture into the eerie depths of a new Lost Zone, Gloom Dungeon, and introduce foes to your newest friend, a weapon we are affectionately naming, “Juggernaut”. Forged for the Balgrim Shaarak'uul in the Halls Below and claimed as spoils of war by the Archon Halavant. Few can withstand its crushing blows.


We’ve prepared an exclusive reward for those who complete the event while it’s active – a coveted Gloom Dagger skin, Dawning Hope! Are you up for the challenge?


The team can’t wait to share an in-depth look at this update in early October! Be on the lookout for the exact date when the update will be launched.
