'Wander' (ALL) - New Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 19, 2014 @ 6:42 p.m. PST

Wander is a combat-free fantasy MMO game that lets you explore a majestic environment in several different forms – a giant tree, a soaring griffin, a sea creature and more.

You start off deep in a forest you can’t remember, occupying a form you don’t recognize. Clues can be found by examining your surroundings, and you may even encounter others like yourself who can help you and share information. During your journey you may also hear the mysterious, siren-like tones of opera singers, and following these songs will lead you to even more exciting discoveries, like the ability to change your shape and acquire new ways of exploring the world.

Playable characters in Wander include the Oren – a walking, sentient tree, and the form you occupy at the beginning of the game; the griffin – with the power of flight; the azertash – with the ability to swim and breathe underwater; and the swift and agile hira.


Each of these forms has several unique and gorgeous variants, all with their own cultures, backstories, and specific ways of interacting with other forms and tribes. Along your way you’ll discover lorestones, mysterious records that teach you bits of the history of the planet and its inhabitants. Eventually, if you’re lucky, you might even learn the ultimate secrets of this mysterious and beautiful world.

Key Features:

  • Huge rainforest to explore
  • Award nominated narrative
  • Detailed sound design, with 3 acclaimed opera singers
  • Focus on collaborative exploration
  • No server browser, everyone playing on the same server (single sharded MMO)
  • Oculus Rift Support (with runtime switching)
  • Controller Support (PS3, Xbox360, Razer Hydra)
