Pax Dei is an upcoming massively multiplayer online social sandbox game developed and co-published by Mainframe Industries and New Tales. The game is in closed alpha and is scheduled to join Steam Early Access in Spring 2024.[1]

Gameplay

Pax Dei is a social sandbox and massively multiplayer online video game set in a fantasy medieval era. It will have a player driver economy where all items in the game world will be player crafted. Players will need to gather all the materials they need for crafting and will be able to craft weapons, armors and build their own homes.[2]

Players play as a human and have to work alone or with other players to complete common goals. Pax Dei will not have non-player characters to provide quests but the environment will contain lore and mysteries that players can solve.[3]

Players are allowed to build overground on certain areas of the map called the Heartland valleys. Players are allocated an area of land called plot and this can be build over either individually or with other players.[4]

Development

Pax Dei was announced on March 1, 2023[3][5] with a closed playtest and the first closed alpha started on November 14, 2023 and ended on 27 November, 2023.[6] On January 9, 2024, Mainframe Industries announced that Pax Dei would enter Early Access in Spring 2024 after a second closed alpha in between.[1]
