Dear Pioneers,
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.
Magic Update – Open Beta – End of October 2024
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.
The Cursed
The Malthorn and their base the Corrupted Oak
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!
The Treasure Hunter
Treasure Hunter being successful
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.
Roadmap Update – August 2024
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!
Quality-of-Life-Update – September 2024
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!
