Wayfinder was slated to release into early access today; however, developer Airship Syndicate has implemented a last-minute delay, with it now dropping on Thursday.
This isn't the first delay we've seen from Wayfinders, with the studio pushing this early access launch out from Spring earlier this year. However, the delay came right as it was finally slated to launch on Steam. Thankfully, this one won't be too long: just two days.

"We’re ironing out some final issues to ensure a smooth start to early access for players on PC and PlayStation and need additional time," the devs said on their website announcing the short delay. As a result, Wayfinders will now launch into early access on Steam on Thursday, August 17th at 12:00pm CT, with Founder's Packs going on sale at the same time. PlayStation players will still have to wait, though, as no time table was given on its early access release.
"Both Airship Syndicate and Digital Extremes’ teams are working tirelessly to ensure the best possible start to early access for Founders - we apologize for the delay. We look forward to meeting you in Evenor this week, and to commencing our journey together with you."
We had a chance to check out the last closed beta test the team ran earlier this year. Check out Stevens's thoughts on the test.
