When Wayfinder officially launches out of the last remnants of early access on October 21st, it’s getting a huge run of new content, with a new Wayfinder, new open-world area, two new lost zones, six new weapons, and full mod support. We’re getting a clearer picture of what the new zone will entail this week as Airship Syndicate has released a dev blog on The Crucible.
“This lush, yet dangerous area has quests, mini bosses, and is packed with secrets (and monsters!) lurking around every corner,” Airship says. “The Crucible is a “city-sized machine built by The Architects, reclaimed by nature and lost to time.”
“Players may have a mount already, but the Crucible is enormous and filled with verticality & multiple areas to explore. With that in mind, we developed an entirely new traversal tool: the Hookshot! We think you’ll love this thing. It’s super fun to use, and allows you to easily get around the massive new area, as well as avoid dangers in situations you may find yourself in when exploring the Crucible!”
The post also recaps the game’s Critical Role collab, which we detailed back in September.
Finally, the team has been previewing its with video clips we’re tucking below – so far, we’ve got feature clips for Senja, Silo, Kyros, Venomess, and Grendel, but we’re still awaiting the full reveal of the eighth champion. “Teased ever since the Early Access announcement, the game’s eighth Wayfinder is finally heeding the call to help push back the Gloom,” Airship says. “This powerful Arcanist brings new magical ways to fight against the Gloom and is sure to become a staple of any dungeon run. More details on this mysterious new Wayfinder will be revealed later this week!”
