Pioneers of Pagonia News

[h2]Dear Pioneers,[/h2]

We have news about our upcoming Magic Update for you!

The Magic Update is the fourth major content update to be released as part of Early Access this year. You can expect new challenging enemies, numerous magical combat units, expanded production chains and new buildings such as the gem mine and the treasure hunter.

[h3]Magic Update – Open Beta – End of October 2024[/h3]
Mark your calendars, because the Magic Update will enter Open Beta on Steam at the end of October 2024. Everyone that is visiting our booth at Gamescom 2024 can play an early version in advance. Look for us in the Indie Arena Booth in Hall 10.2.!

Also, we decided to overhaul the introduction to the game to make it easier for new players to get started in the world Pagonia. Newcomers will be informed about game controls and important game mechanics through short video sequences while they build their first settlements.

[h3]The Cursed[/h3]

New enemies are emerging in Pagonia in the form of the Cursed, who are spreading to corrupt the forces of nature and abuse them for their own purposes. Only units with knowledge of magic can remove the curses and thus prevent the Cursed from successfully performing their rituals and threatening waves of attacks from entering via their portals.

But warlocks and sorceresses need special magical weapons and armor to defeat the Cursed. New resources, building types, units and production chains are available, which must be used strategically and skillfully. This will definitely change things up in Pagonia and provide a challenge for our strategy experts!

[h3]The Treasure Hunter[/h3]

The magic update also introduces a particularly interesting explorer unit: The treasure hunter can discover hidden treasures, secret arsenals and lost artifacts in the world of Pagonia. There are also secret treasure maps, which must first be found or acquired through trade with NPC factions.

[h3]Roadmap Update – August 2024[/h3]
We have updated our roadmap with the current dates. We will release a new roadmap in November 2024 along with the Magic Update. Stay tuned!



[h3]Quality-of-Life-Update – September 2024[/h3]
You might be surprised by the new dates for our Magic Update. We estimated the release date months in advance. In such cases delays in development can always happen. However, you don’t need to wait until November for an update, because we are planning to release our next Quality-of-Life-Update in September 2024.

We continue to work hard on the new features for our upcoming updates and cannot wait for you to playtest them. Keep an eye out for Open Beta News.

Thank you for your patience and for following our journey so far. Stay tuned for updates and if you are at Gamescom or PAX West, don’t hesitate to visit our booth and have a chat with us!

As always, see you in Pagonia!

[h2]Dear Pioneers![/h2]

It's time to leave our desks, get out of the office and meet our fellow Pioneers in the real world. We are not only showcasing Pioneers of Pagonia at one but two major expos this year! Of course, we cannot miss Gamescom Cologne! Shortly after we continue our journey to PAX West in Seattle, US. Buckle up, because we have lots of cool new stuff in our travel luggage!

[h2]Gamescom 2024: 21 - 25 August[/h2]

We will attend Gamescom Cologne this year and are so excited to be a part of the Indie Arena Booth once again! Last year we had a blast showing Pioneers of Pagonia for the first time to our players (this was even before we had a demo, so waaaay back!) Oh, how things have changed since then.

If you are at Gamescom, don't hesitate to visit our booth at IAB in Hall 10.2 Booth Booth F010g - E019. You'll find the booth map down below, we are at the lower right corner. Say hi to our dev team, play the latest version of Pioneers of Pagonia (which is not even in the Beta yet!) and grab some super cool goodies. This time we are well prepared: We've ordered some cool stickers (shimmering werewolves!) and brand new posters with the key art of our upcoming Magic Update! So our booth is definitely worth a visit.

This year we've teamed up with 9 other amazing indie games for the coziest stamp rally at Gamescom! Play 5 out of 10 games of your choice and receive a super cute sticker sheet! Play 6 or more games and receive an additional sticker! Have fun collecting them all.



[h2]PAX West 2024: 30 August - 2 September[/h2]
In March 2024 we were already at PAX East showcasing Pioneers of Pagonia there, and let us tell you, we had such a good time! Seeing so many people enjoying our city builder for the first time and loving it, was truly a great experience. We are motivated to do it all again at PAX West and meet all of our new Pioneers! We also take a lot of goodies with us. So if you live close by and plan to attend PAX West, please stop by our booth and say hello!



[h2]What's to come[/h2]
What we will showcase at Gamescom & PAX West shall remain a secret for now (we don't want to spoil the surprise!), but we can show you a little teaser. Grab your cursed coffee mug (if you know you know) and guess what lurks within the fog:



Stay tuned as we are going to announce more details about the magic update and its publication very soon. We cannot wait to meet you guys and talk about all the exciting new features we have planned for the future!

For those of you, we do not see at Gamescom & Pax West: See you in Pagonia!

Yours,
Envision Entertainment-Team
