Pagan is Online – Patch 1.0
Greetings Pagans,

Today is the day! The culmination of a three year long journey - the release of Pagan Online!

Our pure passion and your feedback drove us to improvise, adapt, overcome. It helped us bridge the gap between the demo and this new hardcore beast of a game that is Pagan Online.

It’s been a hell of an experience for every single one of us. Every texture, every animation, every piece of user interface, every line of code has a developer behind it that is grateful to have the opportunity to share it with you all. Those of you who joined us in closed tests and then in Early Access, you have made us better developers.

We will continue to listen... Read more

"Greetings Pagans,

Big… friendly patch 2 is upon us. With this patch we are bringing some more love to the endgame. Our main goal was always to have a polished first time user experience and while we continue to work on that, we really want to give players something to chase when they reach endgame.

The first iteration of the system includes meta loops to chase recipes, potency points, item origins, and ways to roll fabled powers on your legendary items. With this in mi... Read more

Servers will be down on 26 July from 05:00 - 07:00 UTC.

Crafting

The best part is that this is just the beginning for Pagan Online, as the game will continue to develop and grow as an officially released game with regular updates. The game will launch with a price tag of 24.99 € EUR / $29.99 USD, and prices in other regions will also be adjusted according to regional pricing.  

After using Early Access to help us update and revamp a ton of systems and features in the game, we’re adding a lot of new content as well, which includes:

We’ve been listening to your feedback since November 2018 when we embarked on this journey together during our closed tests, the Trials. We’re now at a point where we know what the release version of Pagan Online should look like, as well as how long it will take for us to get there.

Greetings, Pagans!

Tracking down lots of issues can prove to be a difficult task, but with the support of all of you we are back with an update to some of the features which will improve your experience.

Greetings Pagans,

It’s been two weeks, so it’s patch time! With this patch we’re introducing a change that we know new players especially will love – a way to unlock heroes in a way that ISN’T predefined. This patch also has plenty of fixes, balancing, and a bunch of new enemy affixes.

The pain is coming! We are still hard at work with many great features like the ability tree rework, more content and missions, items, and gameplay loops. Watch this space for more updates on our progress.

MAKE LEGENDARIES LEGENDARY AGAIN!
I’m very glad to announce another patch, which will address a few key issues we’ve recognized as a recurring theme in the massive feedback you guys have been providing. Among other things, we’re making some changes which should increase the gameplay impact of legendary items; we’re amping up the challenge on higher difficulties; and we’re giving new players an option to change their starting hero much sooner. We’ve also been working on enhancing the co-op experience, making balance tweaks, further polishing the visuals/audio, and, of course, squashing bugs.

Right now, we’re focusing on improving the game’s stability and bringing... Read more
