Codename Annex Is Now Pioneers Of New Dawn


Closed alpha revealed in Q4 2023.

Pioneers of New Dawn is an upcoming sandbox MMO being developed by Arctic Theory, a studio made up of CCP Games and EA veterans. The game is headed toward a closed alpha to be announced in Q4 2023.

The game itself is allegedly a sandbox MMO that offers players the opportunity to make their mark on the post apocalyptic world, “establishing outposts and trade networks to creating thriving colonies.”

Gísli Konráðsson, Creative Director and Co-Founder, elaborates on the studio’s approach, stating, “There’s a trend in our industry of making grand announcements about groundbreaking features and immersive world-building mechanics in games that often fall short at launch, especially in the MMO genre. While our approach for the rollout of Pioneers of New Dawn may not be groundbreaking, it is designed to deliver on our promises from day one, and allows players to experience the game as it grows and evolves. Furthermore, our strategy prioritizes providing authentic opportunities for feedback, and offering a transparent timeline for development milestones so players feel both informed and confident that PoND will deliver on its goals.”
