Pagonia Pioneers Early Access Trial – Settlers, and they are not settlers
What hasn't worked for Ubisoft for decades, an independent studio has made it work.
It's been half a year since the premiere, and developer Envision Entertainment hasn't slowed down during this time either. Many small and large updates have already arrived for the game, and it was announced a few days ago that the next update will arrive on June 25th. The main theme of this will be mining, which the engineer will also bring into the game. As an interesting fact, the creators revealed that these characters will be voiced by SodaPoppin in the English version of the game, and Gronkh in the German version (both are popular influencers).
Deep within the earth lie gold and other precious materials, waiting to be brought to the surface by winding shafts. If this succeeds, new production chains will be opened, and we will be able to cast gold, forge metal weapons and armor. There are also those who stand in our way and can steal important natural resources from us and invade our lands.
Naturally, the miner update won't be the last in line, and the processor add-on will follow sometime in Q3. In it you can expect new units, new enemies, raw materials and buildings, not to mention the puzzles waiting to be discovered. The developers are also planning a major expansion by the end of the year.
