The game promises a comprehensive experience, featuring a story-driven campaign, intense PvP modes, and a unique progression system where players can enhance their influence by completing various activities. Such influence will affect their ability to access better items and materials. The game also includes an array of activities, like fishing and the tactical card mini-game, Carnage, offering collectible decks and ranked matches. PIONER’s extensive weapon customization options and realistic survival mechanics require players to manage hunger, rest, and resources, ensuring a challenging yet rewarding experience. The crafting system allows players to create powerful weapons and gear using artefacts and scavenged materials.
PIONER will launch on Steam Early Access on Tuesday, December 16, marking a highly anticipated event for fans of the genre.
