Father of The Settlers Returns With New Game; Pioneers of Pagonia Launches in Early Access

An early version has debuted on Steam Early Access Pioneers of Pagonia, a strategy about building a small kingdom by Volker Wertich, the father of the series The Settlers.

1. The production was released exclusively on PC.
2. The game can be purchased on Steam for $29.99. This is a promotional price reduced by 15% to celebrate the release. The offer will expire on December 20.
3. The authors assume that early access will last about six months. However, they warn that it may extend if necessary.

Currently, the game allows players to play on procedurally generated maps. Players can set objectives and other elements, tailoring challenges to their preferences. Several ready-made maps, prepared by the authors, are also available. The developers have no campaign planned.

Development plans for the game

The developers also revealed the game's development plans for the coming months.

1. First of all, in the first quarter we will get a cooperative mode (the version currently available in Early Access only allows for solitary play).
2. New objectives and a fisherman's hut will also be added.
3. Players will also get the option to use open-pit mining and larger warehouses.
