Visionary Realms, the development studio behind the MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, has secured funding from investors for the further development of the game.
From the beginning, the financial aspect of developing the MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen has been a problem. The Kickstarter campaign failed, and subsequently, the further development had to continue mainly with volunteers. Company founder Brad McQuaid, known for his work on the original Everquest as well as the MMORPG Vanguard, invested a lot of his personal money into the project.
Additional funding accelerates development
The studio has now secured financing from investors. This money will now be used to expand the team in all areas.
Moreover, it is now possible to open the closed pre-alpha for external testers. This will provide developers with even more feedback from fans who can finally join and experience the MMORPG in action.
The team is currently looking for more investors for an additional funding round. However, they are now glad that investors have recognized the game’s potential and are willing to invest in the company.
Pre-Alpha Coming Soon
Currently, 15 developers are working in the Visionary Realms team. There is no exact date for the start of the public pre-alpha yet, but it is expected to happen soon.
Anyone wishing for the old days of the original Everquest should keep an eye on Pantheon. Brad McQuaid aims to follow in Everquest’s footsteps with the MMORPG.
