Wayfinder's new launch trailer reveals six resurrected heroes back for more adventure in this huge MMO

The trailer reveals a character speaking to six fallen heroes as she literally brings them back to life, having failed to hold back an all-encompassing gloom and the monsters therein. Now gifted with a second chance, we get to see the playable crew of Wayfinder: a shadowy assassin, a gladiatorial master of the arena, a stalwart golden knight, a gunslinging trickster, a faceless sorcerer, and our personal favorite, a roguish Robin-Hood smuggler.

Having lost the battle for civilization the first time around, now these champions get a second chance as Wayfinders, fighting everything from prowling predators to slippery slimes to a giant mechanical tank that shows up ready to do some serious damage in the trailer's final moments.

Wayfinder itself is an online MMO, with players working together in co-op to bring down greater threats and perils in each sojourn into the gloom, which promises that "Each adventure has unique modifiers and challenges YOU conjure and control," suggesting a heck of a lot of replayability. Along the way you collect materials, craft new weapons and equipment, or even... build up your own apartment? Well, I guess a resurrected warrior would probably need a comfy couch as much as any of us.
