Gato Salvaje Studio has announced that its forthcoming RPG, The Waylanders, will be released on February 2, 2022. The game was originally set for release later this month but developers felt that the game was not quite ready.
“Releasing this month would not provide the quality experience our fans deserve. While we have been working hard to get all our backers and Early Access players the RPG they’d been hoping for before the holidays, we’ve done an internal review pass on The Waylanders and our team needs more time to polish the game,” said Gato Salvaje co-founder Fernando Prieto. “Developing during Covid has been challenging for many teams, including ours, and rushing The Waylanders out the door after nearly four years of development will not make anyone happy. The Waylanders will have over two hours of cinematics and more than thirty hours of gameplay, and we want to provide the best possible day one release version to the community.”
To smooth ruffled feathers, however, the team released some of the first information about Advanced Classes. These special classes will unlock when players travel from the Celtic era to Medieval times. Each base class will offer players a trio of Advanced Classes to further hone in on each player’s individual style. Developers offered fans a peek at all of the six base class advancements.
