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 released the latest Early Access update to The Waylanders.

Bringing full controller support, difficulty options, improvements to combat and UI, as well as a selection of new NPC combat barks and lighting improvements throughout many scenarios and cutscenes, this update brings The Waylanders crucial steps forward to release. This first summer update rolls out to Early Access players on both Steam and Games In Development players on GOG. 

“We got a little quiet during development over the Spring and I’d like to apologize to the community for that” said Gato Salvaje Co-Founder  Fernando Prieto “We’ve been hard at work improving The Waylanders content that players have access to using community feedback and building the next portion of the story. You’ll be hearing more from us on social media and in our Discord in the coming months.”

The Waylanders Team has also shared a roadmap update showing what fans can expect to see added to Early Access over the course of the summer, as well as the game’s new targeted release in Fall 2021. 

“Development during Covid has been very challenging, an issue many indie developers have been experiencing over the past year.” continued Prieto “We’ve had to revamp many of our processes and change up how we work with people outside of the studio, such as our voice actors. We’ve solved many of these challenges and we feel confident that RPG fans will see the full version of The Waylanders released this Fall.”

In addition to game improvements and bug fixes, The Waylanders summer updates will also include more pets for the Ranger class, an improved tutorial system, and the much-asked-for romance system. The team will have more to share about each of these in the coming months. 

Key Features:

• Real time combat with tactical pause, character creation and 36 classes (6 basic and 30 advanced)
