Update 3.1a

* General/Server
* Upon releasing after dying, player's equipment has a 35% chance to be destroyed. All consumables/inventory items are still 100%. Repair cost has been reduced to 50% of the item's value per durability. This change was voted on by the community and we will test out to see how it is.
* Monsters now run a behaviour pattern reflective of their type. (Only some monsters are affected today, over the course of the weekend, all monsters will receive a complete overhaul of their abilities, stats, damage and behaviour.
* Player actions and fellow monster actions will dictate how specific monsters will react or behave.
* Players can now be staggered by monsters. If a player is staggered, nearby monsters will seek the opportunity to burst the player.
* Players casting spells, especially heals, may cause specific monster types to target that player. Regardless of current tank threat.
* Conditions like health, nearby player/monster count, stats, actions, and movements may all change the monster behavior.|

The biggest change in this update is not actually the shields turning red as ships take damage, the biggest change is that all ships and all projectiles have been slowed down by 20%, with according decreases to acceleration and turn rate. The objective of this is to incentivize players to spend resources on ship upgrades more than just on weapons as well as decrease the relative speed of ships approaching from opposite directions.

There has also been more work done to make brightness levels more consistent across stages and across different visual effects.

Now the main menu will have new bosses appear only after they have been defeated in the game.

Hello there! It's been a crazy week (long story short: there's been a wave of scammers ravaging discord communities and the Escape from Mandrillia discord was hit; a mod got his account stolen and the scammer nuked almost 3 years of messages -luckily enough all users remained, but I'm still slightly salty about the whole ordeal).


As promised, the big honking gun that appeared on last update's Observation Chamber 1 overhaul is no longer a tease; now you can fire it (twice!) This marks the end for the center-area map rework; next step is making the exit zone a bit more interesting... stay tuned!

To fire the High Impact Plasma Cannon, you'll first have to wait until it fully charges, which can take a few minutes. Make sure all three safety switches are flipped, and...



You will tear a hole right into Observation Chamber 2 and 3 (which up until now were only accessible via yellow keycard). After this (and another long reload time) you'll be able to fire it again for good measure.

Opening up this hole can make for some interesting early game tactics, but of course you're here for the carnage. What happens if an unlucky Mandrillian is in the danger zone?



This. And you'll also get a shiny new achievement!

Besides this big boy, this update also turns some automatic doors into keycard-locked doors. Have fun!

PAX East was the first player-focused event we attended and we were ecstatic to have been able to meet so many of you, Wayfinders! The team has been waiting for a chance to talk more about our upcoming game and our panel hosted by the guide expert himself, MTashed, allowed us to do just that. If you missed it live, you can watch it here:


Our speakers Joe Madueria CEO of Airship Syndicate, Ryan Stefanelli Studio President, and AJ LaSaracina Marketing & Engagement Director, took us through some of the history of Airship, the time and effort that has been put into creating player-first experiences, and how all of this has helped shape our upcoming title, Wayfinder.

Wayfinder is a world filled with rich lore, a roster with personality-filled characters, and epic and changing scenery. Click here to jump to the particular panel segment.

We’d like to introduce some of the talented voices of Wayfinder. They bring the emotion and conviction of these characters to life. As you travel through the world of Wayfinder we hope you’ll learn to find courage and strength in voices that will be by your side along the way.



The stories behind the Wayfinders are just as important as their fight against the gloom. It’s what gives these protectors a common cause as they stand for the people of Evenor. This world will have stories to tell both in-game and out, so there will be plenty of routes to become the experts needed to save Evenor and fight back the Gloom. In fact, we had a new story to tell at the panel! Click here to jump to the particular panel segment.


Nothing like a mere wall will stop The Venomess from reaching her mark and completing her mission. We hope our teaser gives you some ideas on what you have to look forward to when this Wayfinder emerges from the Gloom! Looking to the future of the game, there will be main updates every three months, called Seasons. These Seasons will bring new content with them like new Wayfinders, weapons, and events for players to dominate on the path to saving this broken world.

We couldn’t have made it to this point without your amazing support, or the players that have helped shape the game so far in the tests that have taken place. From how loot works at a foundational level to making combat changes like parrying when YOU want, we are listening to feedback and will continue to do so as Wayfinder opens up to everyone (looking at you air dash).


Click here to jump to the particular panel segment. More info coming soon!

Mark your calendars for April, when the next Closed Beta begins!
Head over to the Wayfinder Steam page and request access to the Beta via the Playtest. We will be opening this Beta up to more regions and are ready to protect Skylight with you all!



Early Access comes in May and while we currently don’t have any additional news on Founders Packs, keep an eye out for more news as we get closer. Click here to jump to the particular video segment.

Both the Airship Syndicate and Digital Extremes teams are working to bring you the best possible experience as a Wayfinder. The response that has been seen so far has been amazing and lets us know we are heading in the right direction. The teams are dedicated to building this world with you, for you. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the next event to #ControltheChaos!
