Today, the original creator of the famous The Settlers series, Volker Wertich, alongside award-winning German indie studio Envision Entertainment, is excited to show an extensive first look at the gameplay of their upcoming game, Pioneers of Pagonia. The 20-person development team first unveiled their vibrant strategic city builder game in February of this year. The game, which is all about building, discovering, and exploring a fabulous fantasy world, is slated to release in Early Access on Windows PC by the end of 2023. Players can wishlist the game on Steam now.
The gameplay of Pioneers of Pagonia features Volker Wertich and Envision Entertainment’s signature “Wuselfaktor” — a German word which roughly translates to “the hustle and bustle factor” — and focuses on a deep economic simulation with branching production chains. Thousands of Pagonians scurry through the settlement and conscientiously pursue their duties. However, even in fabulous Pagonia there are dark secrets, vicious creatures and territorial conflicts to be solved.
