PIONER is a post-apocalyptic MMO shooter set on the mysterious Soviet-era island of Tartarus, offering a vast open world spanning over 50 square kilometers. Blending intense PvE and PvP action with player-driven storytelling, the game features faction missions, hidden dungeons, and dynamic environments. Realism takes center stage, replacing traditional health bars and levels with immersive mechanics. High-risk zones like the "Shadowlands" push PvP to the extreme, allowing for chaotic, high-reward battles where alliances are key — or optional.
 

PIONER is scheduled to launch on PC later in 2025, with console releases planned for a future date. Players can now add PIONER to their Steam Wishlist to stay updated on the latest news and be among the first to explore its dangerous, anomaly-ridden world.
