Wilder World Super Early Access

Wilder World: Super Early Access is LIVE

Super Early Access (SEA) has officially launched, marking the beginning of a new era for Wilder World. Players around the globe can now download Wilder World directly through the Epic Games Store, link their ZERO account, and step into Wiami for the first time.

Golden Ticket Allocation

Golden Tickets for the finals are allocated proportionally to the number of active players in each regional server. This approach ensures that regions with larger player bases are fairly represented, while still guaranteeing every region has a chance to send champions to the Finals.

For this tournament, a total of up to 6 Golden Tickets are available. Golden Tickets will be awarded in proportion to each server’s share of the overall player base. The distribution will be weighted per server, based on the player count to be calculated at then end of the qualifiers.

Playoffs & Finals

The Playoffs will see the top 50 players from each region advance into a high-stakes single-match elimination bracket, where only the strongest will move forward. Regions will be scheduled and players notified.

The Finals bring together the very best performers, with up to six Golden Ticket winners flown out for an all-expenses-paid trip to compete live on stage. These finalists will battle for glory, $48,000 in WILD, and the ultimate title of Legend of the WILD.

The live Finals will take place on September 24th at a secret location, with more details on the Playoffs and Finals format to be revealed once the Qualifiers have concluded.
