Mainframe Industries Reveals Pax Dei; A Sandbox MMO Coming to PC and Cloud Gaming Platforms

A new game by Mainframe Industries was revealed today. This new game takes inspiration from the mythologies of the medieval era to deliver an MMO experience that brings a sandbox for players to gather in. The game also brings the medieval era to the modern age of gaming thanks to the stunning visuals brought by Unreal Engine 5. This new game is called Pax Dei and sign ups for the game’s Alpha are now available.

Before we talk about Pax Dei, you can watch the game’s reveal trailer below:

Pax Dei is a game that invites players of all types to define their goals and challenges. Designed to maximize player interactions and allow different play styles to complement each other, the game opens up a vast, mysterious, and beautiful playground that players can fill with their own stories. The game is fully driven by the players, and as such, their choices are just as important as they have to shape the stories of the land.

The game will also have its fair share of PvP and PvE elements in which players will face off against legendary creatures, ancient mysteries, and increasingly difficult challenges. In Pax Dei, players can also choose to fight other players to assert dominance for their clan. Of course, every journey also comes with a risk, and the more players stray from their homes, the more dangerous things will become on their path toward adventure and riches.

What stands out the most about Pax Dei is its nature as a cloud-based MMO game. While the game will come out on PC, it will also be available on Cloud Gaming platforms. Thor Gunnarsson, co-founder and CEO at Mainframe talked about how cloud gaming brings social and immersive online games in a way previously unseen. The goal is to allow players to play the game regardless of the platform, be it mobile, PC, or even the TV itself.

Thor also spoke with Wccftech about why the folks at Mainframe are convinced that the industry is headed toward cloud-native games in the next few years. Stating that the industry is in the process of making a shift in both how games are made, how games are experienced, and how players engage with their favorite games.

Pax Dei will be available on PC and cloud streaming platforms. The game is about to enter its first Alpha, and interested players can sign up for it through its website. Additionally, the game can also be wishlisted on Steam.
