The medieval-fantasy city builder Pioneers of Pagonia is gearing up for a big year. After being in Early Access on Steam, the game is now set to launch its full version in the second half of 2025. Developer Envision Entertainment recently shared their first 2025 roadmap, teasing two major updates and a long-awaited story campaign.
The first update, dubbed the “Major Economy Update”, is just around the corner and overhauls the game’s core mechanics. Previously, players could dive into Pagonia’s world with a fully equipped settlement, ready to conquer the land. Now, there’s an option to start small: a handful of Pagonians, no supplies, and a whole lot of ambition. This new mode lets you slowly craft resources, goods, and buildings from the ground up, offering a more gradual and rewarding challenge.
Beyond the new starting options, the update tweaks and balances settlement development. Eight new buildings join the roster, giving players even more tools to shape their medieval hamlets. A shiny new economic overview screen keeps track of your progress, so you can see your village’s growth at a glance. The world itself is getting a visual glow-up, too, with optimized map generation that introduces dramatic, winding landscapes and steep cliffs.
Later in 2025, the second update will shift its focus to creativity and community. A map editor will let players design their very own worlds with extensive customization options, and you’ll even be able to share and play community-created maps directly in-game. While details on the story campaign are still under wraps, Envision promises it’s coming, and it’s sure to add a narrative depth that fans have been craving.
