Pax Dei Will Try to Replicate EVE Online's Phenomenon in Fantasy Setting

Those interested in MMORPGs may have reasons to rejoice. Pax Dei, an online game set in a low-fantasy world from debuting studio Mainframe Industries, has just been announced. Of course, a trailer has also appeared online, available below.

Reading the title's description on Steam's product card, you can deduce that the devs of Pax Dei are planning to create a fatasy version of EVE Online. This is not particularly surprising, since the creative director overseeing the project is Reynir Hardarson, who also worked on this space MMO.

1. The game is to be based entirely on the community. This means that we will not find in it any characters controlled by AI. It will be up to the players to create the entire economy and populate the world. Each settlement we will visit during exploration is to be the work of a different person.
2. The game is to offer a lot of freedom. During the adventure we will end up in an open world, where we will choose what we want to do ourselves.
3. Universe of Pax Dei is to be inspired by the Middle Ages. However, we will find in it many supernatural beings - including ghosts.
4. Combat in PvE and PvP modes will also play an important role in the gameplay.
5. The project is being powered by Unreal Engine 5. So we can expect that the visuals will stand at a high level (as suggested by the aforementioned trailer and the screenshots below).
6. The release date remains unknown for now, and the same applies to the business model.

As I already mentioned, Pax Dei is being developed by Mainframe Industries, a studio which has not released any other item so far. So it is difficult to determine whether the end result will be satisfactory. We will find out only after the title sees the light of day. However, there is no denying that in this case a lot also depends on the number of players who will buy the game.
