Wayfinder is an upcoming free-to-play online action RPG from game developer Airship Syndicate. If you have been keeping up with Wayfinder's development, you would know that the game is being published by Digital Extremes.

If that name rings a bell, that's because Digital Extremes developed Warframe, one of the hottest free-to-play games on the market. With a name like Digital Extremes behind it, gamers are eager to join Wayfinder's upcoming closed beta for PC and PlayStation.

Wayfinder Has a Closed Beta for PC and PlayStation

If you were hoping to test Wayfinder for yourself, you are in luck. Airship Syndicate and Digital Extremes will be hosting a closed beta in early 2023. During the closed beta, players will have the chance to explore the world of Evenor and defend against the sinister Gloom that threatens it.

Players will get to choose from a variety of characters called Wayfinders. These Wayfinders come with their own stories and unique abilities. Players will also be able to choose from a wide variety of weapons and gear to customize their experience.

If you are worried about the predatory monetization practices commonly found in free-to-play games, worry not! Wayfinder will borrow from Warframe's monetization strategy, according to a post from Digital Extremes. The specifics haven't been made public, but this likely means Wayfinder will focus on selling cosmetics and bundles like Warframe.
