From the creators of ABZÛ, The Pathless is the mythical adventure of an archer and an eagle in a vast forest.
Become the Hunter, a master archer who travels to a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness gripping the world. Make a connection with your eagle partner and soar through the air. Perform smooth stunts and unleash incredible shots with a unique archery system that allows for effortless shooting while moving at high speed.
Forge your own path through a beautiful open world filled with secrets to uncover. It passes through misty forests, lush grasslands and snowy tundras. Uncover the island’s dark history as you solve puzzles in ancient ruins and uncover long-forgotten secrets.
Giant corrupt spirits lurk in the forest. Use all your skills to hunt them down, but be careful not to become the hunted. Engage in epic battles against cursed beasts to restore light to the land. The bond with your eagle and the fate of the world are at stake.
