It’s unusual for an MMORPG to launch in Early Access. Sure, it happens, but most tend to develop behind the scenes, run a few playtests with content creators, and then launch the game—full release—to the public. Pax Dei intends to launch in Early Access, but for how long?
How Long Will Pax Dei Remain in Early Access?
Developer Mainframe Industries hopes to keep Pax Dei in Early Access for approximately one year, until June 2025, though they’re upfront with the community that it could take longer. As I’m sure we all know by now, game development is tumultuous. A single build can introduce countless new bugs, game-breaking crashes, and even wipe character progress entirely. In an MMORPG, that’s the kind of build that destroys the player base entirely. But in Early Access, we’re the testers. It’s expected that things will break, but when they do, players should report the issue to the developer to help them fix the problem.
