The free-to-play game’s early access isn’t free, though
In a somewhat convoluted twist, early access has been paywalled behind four different Founder’s Packs, depite the fact that the eventual 1.0 release will be free-to-play. The Founder’s Packs include the Base tier (£14), Initiate tier (£33), Awakened tier (£60), and the whopping Exalted tier (£99!). You can see what each pack gets you over on theofficial website. Spoilers: it’s mostly cosmetic sets with names like “Silo Firestarter Style." The video below also sheds some light on the kinda different packs.
The team also detailed Wayfinder’s take on battle passes calledthe Reward Tower, a playable progression system that stays with your account as the seasons roll by. The video below describes it as an “isometric dungeon” that you battle through for keys, which then unlocks more rewards.
Our Ed had a go with Wayfinder’s closed betawhere he had some conflicting thoughtsabout the game:
Wayfinder opens the early access gates on August 15th onSteam, theEpic Games Store, and PlayStation consoles.
