A fantasy RPG inspired by beloved classics such as Dragon Age: Origins, Neverwinter Nights 2, and even a smidge of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (time travelling!), The Waylanders is a party-based experience set in the Celtic and Medieval eras featuring innovative and technical combat to make it stand out all on its own.

Real-time combat with a tactical pause option, The Waylanders can be played from the classic isometric, top-down view but can also be shifted into third person perspective. Featuring unique character creation and a massive 36 character classes based on six basic classes and 30 more advanced ones means every play style imaginable can be accommodated. Its most innovative offering, is the introduction of formations whereby characters will combine into offensive formations allowing for deep combat tactics and enabling players to play the game their own way.

In The Waylanders, you lead a party of 5 characters, utilizing over 800 different skills, to overcome challenges and defeat your enemies.

Gato Salvaje Studio has shown the first look at the Medieval Era coming to their time travelling RPG, giving fans a taste of locations, equipment, and other changes coming to the world.

The story in The Waylanders begins in a Celtic Age of myth and magic, which Early Access players are already exploring, and continues in the Medieval period when Christianity has supplanted much of the Celtic culture, and the nearby city of Compostella has become a hub of commerce and religion.

Jumping more than a thousand years into the future brings significant change. Stone construction has overtaken wild forests, tunics and heavy armor have taken the place of robes and wraps, and metal is far more common. Time has also changed your companions. Reborn mortals must have their past selves awakened and the passage of time has been less than kind to immortal friends.

In addition to this first look at the later half of the game, the team has released an updated roadmap taking The Waylanders from its current state to launch.

Gato Salvaje Studio has been releasing frequent updates to the early access version of the game, adding cinematics, missions, bug fixes, and quality-of-life features to the Celtic Era portion of the game. As shown in this new roadmap, the team will be slowing down on update frequency in favor of larger, more polished, releases. 

Key Features:

• Real time combat with tactical pause, character creation and 36 classes (6 basic and 30 advanced)
• Played from top-down isometric perspective that can be shifted to third person perspective
• Inspired by RPG classics Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights 2
• 12 different combat formations (2 per class) where players fuse characters to provide varied and technical combat options

Currently available through Steam Early Access and the GOG Games In Development, The Waylanders is coming to PC in Q1 2021.
