Gato Salvaje Studio has delayed The Waylanders release by pushing the original summer launch to Fall of this year. In addition, the developer has also released the latest update to their Early Access game.
Before we talk about the new update, the developer has said that the game needs additional work to be done before it can be launched fully.
Gato Salvaje Co-Founder, Fernando Prieto had this to say,
We got a little quiet during development over the Spring and I’d like to apologize to the community for that. We’ve been hard at work improving The Waylanders content that players have access to using community feedback and building the next portion of the story. You’ll be hearing more from us on social media and in our Discord in the coming months.
On the other hand, the developer shared a roadmap update that showed us what will be added to the Early Access over the course of the summer, as well as the game’s new targeted release in Fall 2021.
Development during Covid has been very challenging, an issue many indie developers have been experiencing over the past year]. We’ve had to revamp many of our processes and change up how we work with people outside of the studio, such as our voice actors. We’ve solved many of these challenges and we feel confident that RPG fans will see the full version of The Waylanders released this Fall.
The latest update for the game brings in full controller support, difficulty options, improvements to combat, and UI, as well as a selection of new NPC combat barks and lighting improvements throughout many scenarios and cutscenes.
In addition to more game improvements, The Waylanders summer updates will add in more pets for the Ranger class, an improved tutorial system, and the much-requested romance system. More details will be shared by the developers in the coming months.
