October 13, 2024 Marc Marasigan Comments

The world of Pax Dei is about to get a major facelift as Mainframe Industries prepares to roll out a massive update to the early access sandbox MMO. Since its announcement, Pax Dei has focused on creating a dynamic world where players can shape the landscape and immerse themselves in a medieval, player-driven society. However, with its latest patch, the developers are taking things to the next level with major terrain changes, fresh PvE content, and new biomes.

Mainframe Industries has always been open about the possibility of significant updates, including wipes during the early access period, and the studio has just confirmed that another wipe is incoming. The mountainous terrain around the home valleys is also getting a serious overhaul. What once felt like walled-off, secluded areas will now be expanded, offering a more open world to encourage exploration. Even those pesky cliffs are getting tamed, making it easier for players to traverse the landscape.

The patch also brings exciting PvE progression improvements, with new enemy camps placed across the provinces. Each camp is tailored to its biome, with 5-7 encounters to challenge players. “These camps and entry-level cave dungeons will be perfect for solo or duo play,” Mainframe notes, making them accessible to early players eager for combat.

One of the highlights of this update is the addition of the new Corrupted Plains biome. This eerie landscape, tainted by demonic forces, is the perfect setting for sinister factions like the Cult of Zeb. Expect strange growths and challenges as you explore this dangerous new territory.

With revamped biomes, rebalanced enemies, and dynamic day-to-night music shifts, Pax Dei is about to feel more alive than ever. The developers plan to announce the release date soon, so keep your eyes peeled and your weapons sharp!
