MMO Wayfinder gets major ‘Call of the Void’ update in October
We’ve been really enjoying Wayfinder here at TSA towers, the brand new MMO from Airship Syndicate, a studio built by a batch of Darksiders’ alumni which includes the iconic comic-book artist Joe Madureira.

Even at this stage, Wayfinders is one of the best looking MMOs we’ve ever seen, with that Darksiders DNA flowing through to the weighty hack and slash action. It’s great
