GFA Games has released a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming first-person action MMORPG which is heavily inspired by the STALKER and Metro games.

In PIONER, your main goal is survival and exploration of a dangerous PVE and PVP world. According to the game’s description, the developers will pay special attention to the events, factions and quests in which players will take part.

Players will be able to team up with other adventurers and act as a group. As such, they will be able to explore anomalies, confront hunters from other factions and run special missions. Additionally, players will be able to build outposts, improve their equipment, and establish trade routes.

Back in December 2023, GFA Games claimed that the starting area would be an adventure game with minimum MMO elements. However, that part has been removed from the game’s description on its official website. So yeah, that doesn’t bode well for SP fans.

PIONER promises to have over 50 handcraft quests and elaborate stories. Some of them may contain difficult moral dilemmas or choices that affect the outcome of the quest. Additionally, players will be able to build outposts, improve their equipment, and establish trade routes.

To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed by this change. Initially, PIONER was promising a great experience for both single-player and multiplayer fans. Right now, though, it appears that the game’s focus has shifted to online play.

This kind of sucks because I really like PIONER’s aesthetics and graphics. From what I know, the game will be powered by Unreal Engine 4. And even though it’s been three years since when we first laid eyes on it, it still looks great.

Finally, there is still no ETA on when the game will come out.

Enjoy!
