This morning, Mainframe Industries announced its brand-new fantasy game, Pax Dei. Theofficial Pax Dei websitecalls this a “social sandbox MMO” that has been created by veterans of the genre and will provide player-driven and community-driven gameplay.
Mainframe Industriesis made up of a team of gaming veterans who have worked for other big gaming studios such as CCP, Remedy, Next Games, Ninja Theory, Blizzard Entertainment, Ubisoft, Rovio, and more. The gorgeous aesthetic for this upcoming title centers around mythology and the medieval era while the visuals are being created using Unreal Engine 5.
“With Pax Dei, we’re inviting players to a Dark Age of wonder, where myths are real, ghosts exist, and magic is not questioned”,said Reynir Hardarson, Game Director and co-Founder“Pax Deiwas created for open-world play in the truest sense, and we can’t wait to see how players engage with our world and watch their stories emerge.”
This sandbox gameplay apparently will allow players to determine their own focuses while gameplay is intended to accommodate various play styles. In addition to fighting enemies, exploring fantasy landscapes, and the usual adventuring, players can do many other things in-game. This includes locating the perfect place for creating a home and even working together with other players to create a prosperous cooperative village.
As far as combat goes, both PVE and PVP combat will be available. Everything from hunting down legendary beasts to fighting other players for clan leadership will be included. When not focusing on battles, players will apparently be able to do several different things like picking flowers, skinning a basilisk, or making other decisions.
