Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen's CEO Chris Rowan has published a new producer's letter that looks back on 2023 and how the indie studio Visionary Realms has fared this year. Writing while in-game during this week's Alpha test, Rowan looks back on the ups and downs, and gives some insight into next year's plans.
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 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.
