What is "Control the Chaos"?
In Wayfinder, the world has been overtaken by the Gloom, and as a Wayfinder, you’re one of the few powerful enough to push it back. To cease the Gloom’s devastating spread, you’ll be entering areas called Lost Zones. Everything the Gloom touches results in shifting change and chaos
This chaos means that no two adventures into the Lost Zones are the same. As a Wayfinder, you can control this chaos using a Gloom Dagger -- allowing you to customize your expedition into the Gloom with mutators. These mutators can dictate the enemies you encounter, the crafting materials you might gather, and more. But beware, every time you attempt to control the chaos, the Gloom pushes back with its augmentations and modifications to enemy damage, environmental hazards, and more.
Is there Character Creation?
In Wayfinder, you play powerful characters that are born of the Gloom called Wayfinders. Each character is fully voice acted with a storied past with shared connections and relationships (good and bad) with other characters in the world. You’ll learn about our cast of Wayfinders both inside and outside of the game! You can also switch between characters at will, and all of your progress is saved. We encourage you to play multiple characters as you’ll unlock bonuses and mastery points account wide!
Is there Character Customization?
Yes! Although you’ll be controlling a Wayfinder, no two are alike. You can customize both the look of your character as well as how it plays. Choose which weapon to use, what mods to apply, what talents and skills to augment your powers and abilities with, and more.

How Many Characters are there?
At first, Wayfinder featured 5 core playable heroes, and these are Wingrave, Silo, Niss, Senja, and Kryos, each having their own unique set of abilities and playstyle. Eventually, new and more Wayfinders will be added to the game during new seasons.
Is there Housing?
Yes, there is a housing feature in Wayfinder! Apartments will be something that is more than just a social space in Wayfinder. They’ll be important to our core play experience and act as a second “paper doll” of sorts where you can upgrade and augment your power.
How Many Weapons are there?
Currently, there are a few weapon classes or weapon categories that have been featured such as Sword and Shield, Dual Blades, Rifles, and Two-Handed Melee weapons, but more will be unveiled and the roster of weapon classes will expand as the game approaches its full launch. One thing to remember is that each character can equip any weapon they choose and each weapon has a unique ability meaning one dual blade can cause all their auto attacks to slow enemies for a duration, while another could give you a brand new dashing movement ability. These abilities allow for further customizing of how you play and build your Wayfinder.

What are the Supported Languages?
