The Waylanders, a party-based RPG drawing its inspirations from Celtic myth and legend, got a release date of November 16, 2021 at today's Awesome Indies showcase at Gamescom.
The Waylanders has been in our consciousnesses for some time now, having gotten a Steam Early Access release last year with about 10-12 hours of content from the planned 40-hour game.
Kickstarter-funded and written by Emily Grace Buck and Gavin Jurgens-Fyrhie, The Waylanders is inspired by games like Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur's Gate.
The game has you guiding a part of adventurers composed of characters from six base classes as they explore a Celtic-Spanish wilderness ridden with warring factions, monsters, and magic corruptions. You'll build alliances, pursue romances, and follow a story of cultural shift and conflict.
Since the early access launch, we've seen new components added and teased including character origin stories, a photo mode, tons of new locations. and pets.
