A new MMO from the studio Mainframe Industries has officially been announced. Called Pax Dei, the Microsoft-backed game is a brand-new fantasy game that appears to have some impressive tech behind it.
The game, known for huge investments from famous game developers Mike Morhaime and Hilmar Petursson got a full announcement and trailer today, showing off what the anticipated title actually has to offer. Pax Dei is billed by developers as an “immense, player-driven, social sandbox – an MMO with community and emergent gameplay at its heart.”
“Welcome to the fantastical world of Pax Dei. Inspired by the mythologies of the medieval era, Pax Dei aims to deliver an MMO experience that returns to the roots of the genre with a player-driven and community-focused design, updated and brought into the modern age in stunning visuals created using the Unreal Engine 5.”
The game promises to be an open-world sandbox with modularly constructed player housing, villages, “extensive” character customization, PvP, and a persistent world. All of this will exist within a high-fantasy setting unique to the game.
“Pax Dei is the fusion of two high-level concepts: The vision of a living fantasy world inspired by the traditions & legends of the medieval era. Here, myths are real, ghosts exist, and magic is unquestioned. In your home valley, life is relatively safe and peaceful. As you venture out into the wider world, however, things begin to change. The further you travel from home, the stranger things get. Anything becomes possible. Our belief in human interaction as the ultimate source of fun. The most memorable game experiences are the ones you share with friends. That’s why we’re building Pax Dei as a sandbox, where players are free to set their own goals. And we’re doing it at true MMO scale. The result is an open-world playground where you can build your home, create a thriving village with your friends, and engage with thousands of other players to make this world your own. We can’t wait to see the stories that will come to life.”
“Skinning a basilisk, choosing between war and peace, picking flowers: it all matters. In a fully player-driven world, all play styles connect and complement each other. Pax Dei welcomes players of every type to join the community and be part of the stories about to take shape,” Mainframe says.
