Visionary Realms rebuts the idea that Pantheon Rise of the Fallen is a niche game

Pantheon Rise of the Fallen is a highly anticipated MMORPG set in the world of Gods that has been in development for over three years. With their recent announcement, Visionary Realms rebuts claims by experts that they are doing something niche and expensive with its game’s release.

The “pantheon: rise of the fallen 2020” is a game that has been getting a lot of attention lately. It’s not just because it’s a new game, but also because it’s being marketed as something that will appeal to more than just the hardcore gamers out there.

Visionary Realms rebuts the idea that Pantheon Rise of the Fallen is a niche game

So, probably not.

As proven by the first episode of the game’s Parting the Veil podcast, which tackled the premise that Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is designed to be a niche game – a subject the programmers felt passionately enough about that the first episode was split into two sections.

Chris Perkins, the creative director of the podcast, was asked to speak on the issue, and he surely had some ideas on the subject:

“First and foremost, I can declare that we are not interested in creating a niche game for the purpose of being niche. We’re not seeking for certain design philosophies or game design techniques that may turn off prospective game enthusiasts. […] I wouldn’t say it’s being created to be niche on purpose, and I don’t see it being niche by accident based on what the game is going to be.”

Perkins then discusses several of Pantheon’s mechanisms that may seem niche-leaning but aren’t, using the game’s death penalty as an example, which he assures would strive to strike a balance between increasing suspense without being unduly punitive. He also discusses how he plans to make playing MMOs feel different again by ensuring that a game’s design isn’t too inextricably linked to an older game’s experience or systems, ensuring that Pantheon’s systems don’t make the game feel “plasticky,” and how he intends to make MMOs feel different again. It’s a mix of a podcast and a TED Talk, and it’s all embedded below the jump.
