The Waylanders is an RPG that will provide players an engaging narrative featuring impactful character development, unique companion romance options, and a deeply technical combat system.

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.


Currently available through Early Access players on both Steam and Games In Development, The Waylanders is getting a full release on November 16, 2021.

To celebrate the release date news, Gato Salvaje has set a 20% discount on The Waylanders for the week. 

The first act of The Waylanders, currently playable in Early Access, is set in the time of the Celtics. This era, filled with vivid color, living myth, and boundless wonder sets the stage for this magical time-travel adventure. Now, the shackles of time have been unlocked, sending you forward a thousand years where much has changed. Villages have become stone fortresses, religion has forced creatures of magic into the darkened corners of the world, and a familiar foe awaits your arrival. 

Your mortal party members have long since passed, but their spirits have lingered. Find and awaken these old souls to rebuild your party. For those companions who have waited, a millennia of dwindling magic has not been kind—seek them out and heal time’s wounds to regain their loyalty. 

Expanding on gameplay from the Celtic era, the new medieval period brings new story, side quests, weapons and armor, advanced classes, and more formations and abilities to slay monsters with. With more than 50 regions to explore, RPG fans can expect to enjoy more than 30 hours of adventure in The Waylanders. 

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 November 16, 2021.
