The Waylanders will launch for Steam Early Access on June 16. Announced exclusively as part of today's IGN Expo, The Waylanders is a tactical RPG set in a mythological take on Celtic Spain. The Early Access version will contain around 10-12 hours of the planned 40-hour full game, and will include 8 distinct locations divided into 40 maps. Check out an announcement trailer below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/10/waylanders-summer-of-gaming-exclusive-gameplay-trailer"] Funded on Kickstarter and written by Emily Grace Buck, Chris Avellone and Gavin Jurgens-Fyrhie, The Waylanders sees you take a party into the wilderness, choosing from 6 basic classes and hundreds of potential skills. The key innovation is in combat formations, where you can fuse multiple characters into historical and fantastical formations to allow for advanced tactics. The likes of loyalty quests, crafting improvements and advanced classes, as well as additional languages, will be added during the course of Early Access. The game will be available in Early Access for $34.99 (with a further 10% discount at launch).

Annnounced exclusively at today's IGN Expo, PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game will arrive alongside the previously announced PC version when that's released later this year. Next-gen console versions will receive more information at a later date. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/04/chivalry-2-console-and-crossplay-announcement-trailer"] All five platforms will be able to interact once they arrive, thanks to developer Torn Banner Studios' new commitment to cross-play.
