Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen has recently announced the postponement of its Pre-Alpha test session for Alpha pledges.

With Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen dropping its controversial 247 test mode, the Visionary Realms team is back on track. In the just-released November Producer's Letter, they cover development updates, recapping the month's changes, and announcing an upcoming NDA-free event that will enable more peeks into the game next month.

After announcing they were pulling the maligned extraction mode, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen's developers held a Discord Q&A discussing the reversal, as well as answering questions from the community.

After a rough few weeks, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen developer Visionary Realms has reversed course, canceling its planned 247 Extraction gameplay mode and returning to its full PvE MMORPG development. This is after fan outcry against the spin-off mode reached a fever pitch at the end of October, with this reversal coming thanks to that feedback.

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen released its latest recap post, which details the pre-alpha testing that has been occurring recently. As part of this month's newsletter, the team at Visionary Realms has touted its recent extraction mode testing as helping to improve its production pace since the testing began.

During the Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen community Q&A last night, Creative Director Chris "Joppa" Perkins was asked whether the studio would consider bringing on volunteer developers to help speed up the dev process. In answer, Perkins states that it is "something" the team is looking at.

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is an MMORPG that has been in development since 2014 by Visionary Realms. In September, it was announced that there would be a change in art style and that a new gameplay mode was entering into testing called 247. During the October Producer's Letter, more details were provided about the 247 survival extraction mode. The community reaction was mixed at best. Check out Kevin's thoughts on the information released so far and the community Q&A.

As with many MMORPGs, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen's development journey has seen its fair share of changes and evolutions. One of the most recent and significant changes was highlighted in the September Producer's Letter: a brand new art direction.

The Pantheon:  Rise of the Fallen team has shared what we can expect this month, from the next pre-alpha test to a state of the game tester Q&A, and more.
