The promising network shooter Pioner, created by the Russian studio GFA Games, recently got a spectacular gameplay trailer. The developers first showed the diverse post-apocalyptic world of the game and its characters. The release of Pioner is still scheduled for 2023 with no exact release date, but the authors of the project are ready to share more interesting details about the game right now.
As noted in the GFA Games studio, their project will not have the usual open world, but the Pioner world itself will be large-scale and diverse. According to the developers, the world of the shooter is divided into large regions, the size of some areas will reach 10 km². Locations will differ from each other, both from a visual point of view and the content within the areas. At the moment, the studio has finished working on 5 large settlements with their own unique design and population. These cities are now rolling out quests and events that will take players through different zones.
Also, the GFA Games studio shared other details of the game:
The soundtrack will soon exceed the 2 hour mark. Ansia Orchestra is responsible for the main theme of the game. GFA Games has doubled its staff in the last year with developers from seven different countries. Developers are not chasing the size of the game world or scale – interesting activities are a priority. “Blue Tide” is the release of energy from the station. Exploration of the Tides is an important plot theme in Pioner. Progression in the world is largely associated with the advancement of expeditions inland. The player will repeatedly be in the role of a pioneer. The death and rebirth of your character have a rationale in the game and are accompanied by unique game mechanics. In each PvE oriented region, there is a so-called “Initiative Quest” – an important story mission or line of tasks, the passage of which can affect the state of affairs in the region or change the balance of power. For solo and party players who want to dive deep into PvE and story activities, special features are provided that bring the game experience closer to a solo or co-op adventure.
Pioner is built on Unreal Engine 4 for PC. The tentative release of the shooter is scheduled for this year.
