Yesterday, on March 20, the new MMORPG shooter Pioner showcased fresh gameplay at the Future Games Show: In the trailer “Collapse,” fans can see nearly 2 minutes of action that is expected in the shooter for its release in 2025. Pioner is announced for Steam, but is also set to be released for PS5 and Xbox.
What do we see in the trailer? The new trailer for Pioner showcases a dark look set in a backdrop reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic Soviet Union. The game promises an open world set on a desolate, post-apocalyptic island. The developers promise a map of about 50 square kilometers and hidden dungeons.
The character blasts through the environment with a variety of rustic weapons and robust-looking gear: Monsters await him, some of which seem to have emerged from a horror film, while others could be straight out of a science fiction movie.
The story unfolds, as known from Borderlands, through audio recordings of wildly rambling characters.
Pioner already shows a variety of weapons and monsters
What do we know about Pioner? The MMORPG with survival elements has been in development since 2021 and is set to be released on Steam in 2025. A release for the PS5 and Xbox consoles is planned for “later.”
On the website for Pioner, it is clear that the game has been in the works for a long time. The gameplay in the trailer is exactly what one has always wished for from the last The Division with zombies, the game The Day Before.:
- A monster gallery shows us zombies, fast zombies, hellhounds, disgusting spider creatures, worms, and many mutated things.
- An impressive weapon gallery provides us with weapons such as the Polish AR-16, the German submachine gun USMG (“The Germans know how to make weapons, and the submachine gun proves it!”) or the AV Sapphire-M, reminiscent of an AK47. The sniper rifle “Dragoon,” apparently a variant of the Dragunov, is also found in the arsenal.
Pioner is set to launch with 6 raids
What Pioner aims to offer: In the past and even now in the YouTube comments on the new trailer, Pioner has often been described as a mix of Fallout and Stalker.
The developers are particularly proud of their open world and story campaign.
They also promise many activities that are typical of loot shooters: PvE missions, PvP arenas, events, even fishing and casino games.
The game even aims to offer survival mechanics such as hunger and a flexible crafting system.
Even 6 different raids are promised for the game, and players should also be able to form clans.
That’s quite a lot; for most potential players, a solid loot shooter in a world without Destiny, The Division, and Anthem would probably suffice. Hopefully, the developers won’t overextend themselves: 100,000 players want the new survival MMORPG on Steam, reminiscent of Stalker
