Serbia-based developer, GFA Games, announced that post-apocalyptic MMO first-person shooter PIONER is heading to open beta on PC in October, though no specific date was given. Following a closed playtest earlier this year, the PvEvP shooter is one step closer to release on PC, with plans for a console version to follow.
PIONER is set on a strange Soviet-era island called Tartarus, which is over 50 square kilometers in size, where you will engage in both PvE and PvP first-person shooter combat. Storytelling is reliant on the player’s actions, with a focus on realism, including non-traditional health bars and leveling systems for deeper immersion. Thankfully, if you’re not much of a PvP person, it sounds like it will be limited to high-risk, high-reward zones called Shadowlands, which will be optional.
This is my first time hearing about PIONER, but this looks great. I’ll be looking forward to the console release. Check out the new trailer below:
