Pioner Confirms Open Beta Will Launch This October

Those who have been looking to play Pioner will get their chance next month, as the game will be getting an Open Beta phase

Indie game developer and publisher GFA Games have revealed that they will hold an Open beta for their MMO first-person shooter, Pioner. The team didn't put a hard date on it, as we assume they want to draw out teasing this game multiple times over before it happens, but we know the Open Beta will take place in October. With the news came a new trailer, which you can check out here, as players will be able to access it on Steam.

Pioner

As a socially-driven MMO, Pioner blends player-driven storytelling with intense PvE and PvP action. Whether embarking on narrative-rich missions or building alliances with in-game factions, players influence the evolving world around them. PvP confrontations reach their peak in the "Shadowlands", high-reward zones brimming with valuable loot and open to unrestricted PvP, where players can attack others freely, except for faction or clan members. It's a chaotic free-for-all, offering a true battleground for aggressive playstyles. With a focus on exploration, strategy, and survival, every choice players make impacts their journey. As the game's world unfolds, more exciting details will be revealed ahead of its anticipated 2025 launch.
