Introducing Pax Dei Early Access: join the journey today!
Hello Paxians!
We’ve said it before: Pax Dei will only exist with the support of its players. From the game's reveal to the formation of our early group of supporters on Discord or the two public Alpha tests we ran in the past few months, Pax Dei’s story has been one of community. Today, we’re inviting you to embark with us on the next step of the journey.
Pax Dei will enter Early Access on June 18th. The game is still in Alpha, heavily in development, and not yet feature-complete (as we write this, our teams are furiously making fixes and improvements based on the feedback of the recent public test). We also reached the point where we need to see it live to keep developing it.
Help us build the virtual world you can inhabit for years to come. Your feedback during Early Access will be invaluable in shaping the final game. We’ll also reinvest the revenue from Early Access into making the game better and bigger. Your support doesn't just keep the lights on; it fuels our passion to create a vibrant, warm, and living world.
Ready to embark? Pax Dei Early Access is available for pre-purchase starting today on http://playpaxdei.com/early-access and will be playable on PC, via Steam or the game’s dedicated launcher. Check the Early Access page for all the info about our Founder’s Packs and a detailed FAQ.
We’ll be back in the coming days with more details about the game's state, our roadmap for Early Access, and some early thoughts about what the first big update will focus on.
And before that, head’s up! We are planning an event in partnership with some of your favorite content creators. It’s coming before too long very (very!) soon. Stay tuned!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the support. We can't wait to see you in-game!
FAQ
Below, we are covering some of the most frequently asked questions.
For more answers, check the full FAQ on our website and the Early Access page, both in English, German, and French.
WHY AN EARLY ACCESS?
Our game requires a community to come alive. We’ve reached the stage where we need a live game to keep developing. The feedback we’ll receive from our Founders will help shape what the game will look like at launch.
We’ll also reinvest the revenue from Early Access into making the game better and bigger, fulfilling our vision of a living and breathing world that can be your virtual home for years.
In every way, Pax Dei will only exist with the support of its players.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME?
Pax Dei is still heavily in development and not yet feature-complete. We expect all aspects of the game will require balancing and polish. Throughout Early Access, we plan to expand the game in terms of content and systems. Check our website and Discord for the latest updates on our progress.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY WIPING THE GAME? HOW OFTEN WILL THAT HAPPEN?
Throughout Early Access, as we expand the game both in terms of content and systems, we anticipate major updates that will require us to reset the game entirely and start over.
That being said, we will do our best to keep such wipes as few and far between as possible.
Ideally, we will also try to do them only partially: major changes on the terrain of the Home Valleys could lead to a reset of all the plots, but not to your characters. Some deep changes in the skill systems or the crafting progression could lead to a reset of the characters but not the plots…
At least one complete wipe/reset will occur just before the full release, and it should be the last one, as we don’t plan to wipe once the game is no longer in Early Access - once it is fully released.
I PURCHASED A FOUNDER’S PACK, WHERE DO I START PLAYING?
On the Pax Dei launcher: You’ll need to install our launcher. You can find the link on our Support site if you did not pick it up on the download page after your purchase.
Launch it, and log in with the Pax Dei account you used to make your purchase. The game will be available at the start of Early Access.
On Steam: When Early Access starts, you will receive a Steam key on the email address you used for the purchase, including all the instructions to redeem your game copy. To activate it, click the “Games” menu option at the top of the Steam client, choose “Activate a Product on Steam,” and paste your key in the dedicated field. Pax Dei should be available to download in your library.
Learn more on our Support Site.
CAN I GIFT A FOUNDER’S PACK?
Sadly, our system does not handle gifting.
CAN I PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE FOUNDER’S PACK?
You can’t have more than one license on a Pax Dei account, and all your characters will have the recipes from the Founder’s Packs.
That being said, if you create a second Pax Dei account, you can buy a Founder’s pack for this second account.
CAN I PLAY SEVERAL CHARACTERS FROM MY ACCOUNT AT THE SAME TIME?
A given account can only have one character in the game at a given time.
WHAT’S A “CHARACTER SLOT”?
The number of character slots defines the maximum number of characters a given player’s account supports - with each character occupying one slot.
In a game without classes, additional characters allow players to explore, join other clans, or meet new friends.
