The developers of Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen have released a new “Early Access Update” and revealed the previous sales figures of the MMORPG.
What does the update reveal? In the new post on pantheonmmo.com, the developers of Visionary Realms disclose that since the Early Access launch on December 13, 2024, they have managed to sell almost 100,000 units of Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.
At a price of 38.99 euros per unit, sales might have already reached up to 3.9 million euros. Not bad for an online role-playing game that looks back on a very long and turbulent development, has faced the displeasure of players multiple times, and launched with rather outdated technology.

What else do the developers say? The EA launch is also a success, according to the developers, as they maintain a “very positive” overall review status on Steam, with 81 percent positive ratings. Since the EA launch, they have worked on the following areas:
- With the launch and the suddenly much higher player numbers, a whole range of new bugs and issues emerged. These have been addressed with the highest priority.
- On February 6, 2025, the transition to Unity 6 took place. The engine change also led to inevitable problems. At the same time, the developers are very pleased with how the update affects the dramatically improved atmosphere in the dungeons.
- Thanks to the successful launch, they were able to expand the team.
- The developers are planning a weekly update rhythm for the foreseeable future. They are currently working on the Druid class, an improved PvP experience, and a revision of the experience for low-level characters.
What do I need to know about Pantheon? When MeinMMO first reported on Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen in May 2016 it was already clear that the new online role-playing game from industry veteran Brad McQuaid (EverQuest, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes) was aimed at fans of classic MMO experiences for PC, with a focus on PvE group challenges.
The team at Visionary Realms has remained true to this guideline over the years, even after the leading industry veteran passed away in November 2019 at the age of just 50. And this old-school approach resonates very well with many players of the Early Access version. Pantheon plays out almost like a modern EverQuest: A new, proper PvE MMORPG has launched on Steam, with 80% positive reviews and the player count is rising
