Evaluation
The Waylanders launched out of Early Access on February 2, 2022 after a lengthy development period. Following launch, the developer published a post-launch roadmap on February 28, 2022 outlining three planned updates through May 2022, focused on bug fixes, quest improvements, and performance work. The April 2022 update (v1.10, released April 27, 2022) delivered new missions, Steam achievements, and further improvements, and mentioned a further update coming the following month. However, that April 27, 2022 post is the last developer communication on record — there have been no news posts, patch notes, or announcements from GATO STUDIO since that date. Today's date is June 26, 2026, meaning the studio has been silent for over four years. The one remaining planned update referenced in the April 2022 post (targeting May 2022) was never confirmed as shipped. No DLC has been announced or listed. No future content commitments beyond the immediate post-launch patch window were ever made — the roadmap explicitly covered only the first few months post-launch, and the developer stated they would "assess reported issues" after those updates. Given the complete absence of any communication since April 2022 and no outstanding announced content beyond what was likely addressed in the patch series, the game appears to have concluded its post-launch support window. The April 27, 2022 update is treated as the practical end of development activity.

About this game
AN EPIC STORY INSPIRED BY CELTIC MYTHOLOGY
The first meeting between the Celts and their gods, the Tuatha de Danaan, should have been a time of celebration and enlightenment, but when negotiations go catastrophically wrong, a battle against a god leaves you near death and untethered from time!Return to a land overtaken by magickal corruptions and a kingdom splintered into multiple factions warring for the throne. The Celtic society, a complex tapestry of different religions, human cultures, and mortal and immortal races such as the Mourians, Werewolves, Goblins, and monsters threaten to tear at every seam. Will you support the immature, yet rightful, heir, or the pragmatic general in their bid for the throne? What alliances will you forge, what friendships will you foster, what romances will you pursue, and... what will you do when you are suddenly thrust into Medieval Spain?
EXPLORE TWO ERAS
Things look pretty different in Galicia under Christianity than it did under Celtic rule. Magic is fading, religion is everywhere, and much has changed. Where are your immortal allies now, and what has become of the souls of your mortal friends? Discover changes made to the land over a thousand years of cultural change. Could the corrupt magicks that interfered during your meeting with the Tuatha have led to the destruction of all that the Celtic world held dear?GATHER YOUR PARTY
