GERMANY –May 27, 2025 – The medieval-fantasy city builder Pioneers of Pagonia will leave Early Access on Steam this year and be released in the second half of 2025. Until then, there are still some new features and improvements to come, which the award-winning developer studio Envision Entertainment has announced in the first roadmap for 2025. Two major updates will be released before the full release later this year, which will also include the long-awaited story campaign.
The “Major Economy Update”, which will be released shortly, is next and fundamentally expands the core game mechanics surrounding the construction of a Pagonian village. In addition to the previous option of conquering the world fully equipped and stocked up, players can now also start with just a few Pagonians and without any supplies in order to gradually develop all resources, goods and buildings. The tutorial map has also been updated for an easy introduction to the new game experience.
In addition, the development of a settlement has been changed and balanced in many places, eight new buildings have been added and a new overview provides the player with a summary of the economic progress achieved. Map generation has been further optimized and, in addition to numerous visual enhancements to various landscape types, there are now also very winding and bold landscapes with steep cliffs. At the request of the community, decorations have also been added to the game to spruce up your own settlement to suit your taste.
The second update this year will be all about map creation and modding support. The map editor will be made available to the community with extensive design options and shared community maps can be selected and played directly in the game after the update. Further information on this and the story campaign will be published at a later date.
The development of Pioneers of Pagonia was financially supported by the German games fund grant by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection. To stay up to date on Pioneers of Pagonia, be sure to follow on Facebook, Instagram, join Discord or visit the official website.
