With the release of Wayfinder Echoes, we were thrilled by the community's overwhelming response. Many players asked how they could support the studio. We said: spread the word. Gift copies. But ultimately, we wanted to offer a special way for players to support us directly.
We knew that if we were to offer something for purchase outside the game, explicitly intended to support us, it needed to be special. We wanted a partner who had walked in our shoes—someone who understands the challenge of fully funding and bringing to life a world they love. We found the perfect partner in Critical Role, who shares our passion for creating and funding a beloved world with the help of a dedicated community!
Here’s an early sneak peek at some of the content coming in this exciting pack!
“We are huge fans of Critical Role, so we’re super excited for this collaboration, which we hope is the first of many,” said Joe Madureria, CEO of Airship Syndicate. “If players love this Supporter Pack, we’d love to make more--with Critical Role, and other IP’s in the future!”
“We want to continue to find fun and unique ways to interact with and explore Exandria,” Shaunette DeTie, Critical Role’s Licensing Manager said. “Seeing the creative team at Airship bring elements from Vox Machina to life in Wayfinder has been such a treat for the entire Critical Role team and we hope that players find this collab as cool and enjoyable as we do.”
This pack will go live with Wayfinder’s 1.0 launch on October 21, 2024. This pack is entirely optional and directly supports Airship Syndicate and Critical Role’s incredibly dedicated and talented teams. Players can purchase it outside the game, and directly from Steam or the PlayStation Store for $19.99 USD. It includes:
Wayfinder - Critical Role Supporter Pack
This pack comes packed with items and includes:
- 4 Character Personas, including:
- Grendel as Grog Strongjaw
- Niss as Vax’ildan
- Venomess as Vex’ahlia
This pack wouldn’t have happened without our incredible community seeking ways to support our dedicated team that have poured their hearts into Wayfinder – especially over the last 6 months as we transitioned to the Echoes Update. We’re proud of Wayfinder and the work we’ve done as an independent developer and publisher, and we’re grateful for those that support our journey.
In the future, we’ll be working to bring additional Supporter Packs to Wayfinder with the same philosophy above—unique and cool cosmetic collaborations with other IPs, not sold in-game so as not to pressure players into feeling a sense of requirement to purchase. We aren’t quite ready to announce exactly what they are, but if you’re familiar with Airship’s body of work, you can make some pretty educated guesses as to what’s in store…
