Pioneers of Pagonia reaches version 1.0: Settlers legacy takes off with campaign

With today's 1.0 release, Pioneers of Pagonia celebrates its full launch and finally opens the gates to its extensive campaign. The strategy and building game, reminiscent of Settlers with its bustling atmosphere, invites you to unite a fragmented empire and work your way through a widely ramified economic system.

With the release of version 1.0, Pioneers of Pagonia lays the foundation for a complete strategy experience aimed at both single players and groups who want to build a settlement from the ground up together. Even experienced Settlers veterans can look forward to a rich array of gameplay features. In Pioneers of Pagonia, you take on the role of the Navigator, whose task is to reconnect the separated islands of a shattered continent. The focus of the 1.0 release is a new, extensive story that will accompany you for dozens of hours and introduce you step by step to new regions, factions, and challenges.

The campaign in Pioneers of Pagonia offers more than 30 hours of gameplay and tells the story of a world in reconstruction, where you bring tribes together, develop technologies, and work your way closer and closer to the legendary “Tower of Visions,” the center of the bustling world. Each island has its own conditions—from peaceful encounters to dangerous opponents who will test your planning and preparation. Strategy fans in particular will benefit from the great freedom the game gives you in building your settlements.

Suitable for beginners and settlement veterans alike

The economic system is one of Pagonia's greatest strengths: over 60 building types, numerous production chains, and hundreds of goods ensure that your settlements grow visibly and develop in a comprehensible way. At the same time, version 1.0 offers flexible difficulty levels, so you can freely decide whether you want to build at a leisurely pace or take on challenging scenarios.

Those who prefer to experiment at their own pace and without much enemy contact will find almost unlimited possibilities in Sandbox mode and the integrated editor. In addition, you can experience Pioneers of Pagonia in shared co-op mode with up to three other players—all acting simultaneously, sharing resources, and shaping their world together.

With its final release, the game marks an important milestone—also for Pagonia boss and Settlers creator Volker Wertich—and delivers a well-rounded package of story, building, exploration, and co-op play. Let's get busy!
