Pagan Online, by Wargaming and Mad Head Games announced it will be leaving Early Access on August 27th, 2019. The game will offer massive updates and revamped systems, based on player feedback when the game launches officially. The combination of top-down ARPG and session-based PVE will release for 29.99 at launch.
“Since we began closed alpha testing 10 months ago, Pagan Online has been constantly evolving with the help of our players,” said Uros Banjesevic, Chief Creative Officer of Mad Head Games. “During our 4 month run in Early Access we have implemented massive changes and amazing new features and mechanics to deliver the best possible 1.0 experience at full launch. It is going to be, literally, a different game.”
Pagan Online also announced a community initiative called the Might & Glory Club. This club will give content creators, streamers, artists and more the ability to take part in the launch of Pagan Online and to be mentioned in the game’s credits. Club members are granted access to updates (and can produce content on said content) a week before launch.
All members will also receive codes for in-game rewards, including Decimator the dragon, that can be given away on their channel. Every day from August 21st to 25th the Pagan Online team and its media partners will nominate Heroes of Pagan Online from authors of the most creative and resonant pieces of content. The most creative participants will also be offered a partnership with Pagan Online. Further information can be found here.
