WAVEN: A new take on a tactical RPG
WAVEN takes you to the dawn of a new era. Choose your hero, equip your best spells and set sail for an incredible odyssey. Sail from island to island in a vast world full of colorful creatures, gain power, refine your strategy and uncover the secrets of a world adrift.
WAVEN is a new roleplaying game experience that is accessible, fun and immersive. It combines adventure and turn-based strategy, inspired by the best tactical RPGs, with deckbuilding mechanics and valuable items to collect.
Alone or with friends, face off against multitudes of burlesque monsters of increasing difficulty. Master the elements, cast powerful spells, summon mythical companions and battle your enemies in close combat or from a distance to defeat them and win tons of loot!
Gain experience to upgrade your hero! Defend your “Haven Island” from attacks by other players in a brand-new asynchronous mode or prove your valor by entering the doors of the “Kolossium” to challenge other players and become a legend yourself!
“This is a really ambitious project that we believe in immensely. We can’t wait to present WAVEN to as many people as possible in its best version yet. Everyone at the studio put so much work into making this game a unique experience, and we’re really proud of the result,” said Anthony Roux, also known as ToT, creative director and CEO of Ankama.
Early Access this Summer, and Release in Late 2023
Players will get early access to WAVEN this summer to try out one last version of the game and give their final feedback before a worldwide free-to-play release in late 2023. The game will be co-published by Ankama and New Tales.
A Cross-Platform Adventure
One of the unique things about Ankama’s upcoming game is its cross-platform aspect – players will be able to continue their adventures wherever they are, switching from one platform to another with the same account on Windows PCs, Macs, and smartphones and tablets running iOS or Android.
