Wayfinder News

Our next PC Steam Closed Beta test is now LIVE, open to North American and European players until Wednesday, March 8, at 12 p.m. CT.

We’re looking forward to accommodating many more players for this Closed Beta, so your chance to explore Evenor is higher this time around!

Head over to the Wayfinder Steam page and request access to the Beta via the Playtest. Once you click “Request Access”, that’s it! The selection process will still be random and if selected, you’ll receive an email from Steam.



Please note:

• If you have received invites to any previous playtests, you can once again access the Closed Beta via Wayfinder Beta in your Steam Library now.
  
• If you have previously registered for past playtests, but have yet to receive an invite, our signup process has changed, and you will need to re-register by heading to the Wayfinder Steam Store Page HERE and clicking the Request Access button. If you have been selected to participate, you will be notified via an email from Steam right away and will be provided access to the Steam Playtest.
  

We look forward to seeing you in Skylight!

The beta test will run from February 28 12pm CST until March 7 at 12pm CST and we will be inviting users from North America as well as Europe for this phase of beta. We are also happy to report that this beta WILL include cross play, so PlayStation 5 and PC players will be able to adventure together!

By participating in any beta, you’ll also receive 3 exclusive items. 2 Weapon charms, and a title to be delivered once we’re in Early Access! AND FINALLY, a certain fan favorite Gladiator will be answering your cries and may just make an appearance in this test…

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO BETA SIGN UPS
As we prepare for the Closed Beta, we are moving away from a direct Steam key invitation method and opening up beta access to an even broader audience directly through Steam Beta (Playtest)!

It is important to note if you are interested in playing in the PC Beta and have not previously participated in any test, you will be required to sign up directly on the Wayfinder Steam store page. Even if you have previously signed up for the PC beta on our website, you will need to navigate to the Steam page and sign up with this new feature.



Once you click “Request Access”, that’s it! The selection process will still be random and if selected, you’ll receive an email from Steam. Signing up on the Steam page will not have any negative impact on players who previously signed up on our website.

For all players who received access to any of the previous technical tests, you will automatically be granted access to the Closed Beta and access the game as you have in previous tests.

SIGN UP FOR BETA HERE!

Swift and precise, Silo makes every shot count. Born into a family of smugglers, he spent his life running under the radar and challenging tyrants. Now he's using those same skills to fight the Gloom. Silo loves long odds—the greater the challenge, the greater the thrill.



[h3]BACKSTORY[/h3]
Before the Gloomfall, the Shrike Syndicate was a network of smugglers and mercenaries who played both sides in the endless conflict between the Avar Imperium and the Maze. While many saw the Shrikes as criminals, they lived by a code. Silo was born Silas Vex; the Vex's were the leaders of the Syndicate, and made sure that the Shrikes served the common people of the Westreach. Silo was an exceptional Shrike—an excellent marksman with a knack for designing explosives and arcane gadgets—but he always felt the shadow of his parents, the expectation that he would eventually assume the mantle of leadership.

Silo is a clever scoundrel, equally quick with a quip and a blade. He remembers grand heists and feasts with the people of the Westreach. But as an echo returned from the Gloom, his memories are incomplete. Silo doesn’t remember what happened to his parents, or how he came to be in Skylight when the Gloomfall struck. In this broken world, the Shrikes have become a menace. What has Silo forgotten?

Arcane power flows through Kyros, and he can unleash this force to devastate his enemies. He's the last survivor of a forgotten civilization, a wizard who transformed his flesh into pure mystical energy. Though his people are long lost, he's sworn to keep the Gloom from destroying the world that remains.



[h3]BACKSTORY[/h3]
There is a place known as the Kingdom of Ashes. Bones are scattered across beaches of black sand, and charred remnants of crystal spires still reach toward the sky. This has been a shunned ruin for thousands of years, but Kyros still remembers it as it once was, a glorious civilization whose achievements dwarfed those of the Avar Imperium or the Maze. He remembers studying the nature of reality itself, and even learning how to transcend his own flesh to become a being of pure mystical energy, bound to a skeleton of arcstone and crystal. While he possesses devastating power, Kyros is first and foremost a scientist. He is determined to stop the Gloom; he will not watch another civilization be destroyed. But he believes the key to defeating the Gloom is to understand it.

Kyros is a deadly warmage and a brilliant researcher. But he has been lost in the void for countless centuries, and there’s much he has forgotten or never knew. What became of his people? How did his wondrous nation become the Kingdom of Ashes… and did he have something to do with it? The answers must be out there, waiting to be found.

Before the Gloom swallowed the warrior, Senja was the greatest gladiator in the history of the Imperial Arena. She is the last of the Iron Sisters, a league of warriors from the distant Dominion of the Seven Winds, and she smites her enemies with both storm and steel.



[h3]BACKSTORY[/h3]
Senja is a legend across the Avar Imperium, the greatest champion ever to grace the arena. Where many gladiators face death with grim resolve, Senja delights in every battle. Even now, Senja still hears the crowds when she fights, still imagines the cheering throngs urging her on. In truth, she loves battle because it is a distraction from her pain. Senja comes from the Dominion of the Seven Winds, a place where arcane magic is woven into everyday life, where arcanists and warmasters alike wield power over the elements; while she is far from home, the storm still answers her call. She is the last of the Iron Sisters, a proud order of deadly warriors. She doesn’t talk about what happened to her sisters, but there is no question that their loss is a knife in her heart—that whatever happened in the Dominion drove Senja to the other side of the world and into the endless distraction of the arena. Now that the Gloom has swallowed the arena, Senja needs a new battle to distract her from her pain, and the Gloom is the greatest enemy of all.

Senja is a fearless warrior and an indomitable foe. But as an echo returned from the Gloom, there’s much she can’t remember. She remembers fighting alongside the Iron Sisters, but she cannot remember exactly how they fell. She remembers countless battles in the arena, but she knows she can’t remember every enemy she faced. Could forgotten enemies come back to haunt her?
