Pioner demo and trailer

Of all the epigones of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the most interesting is the Russian shooter Pioner, which is set on an island invaded by mutants. Only the developers from GFAGAMES studio are not in a hurry to bring their project to release - then a trial version of a limited number of people will show, or closed testing will arrange. And recently, right during the Future Games Show event, they made a presentation with the "Decay" trailer and handed out the demo version to journalists. At the same time, the release date is still unknown - in Steam it's just listed as 2025.

In "Decay" we were shown the work of the anomaly scanner, shotgun shooting, some landscapes of the island with a claimed area of 50 square kilometers, character voicing by professional actors and the battle with monsters in the form of dogs. It can be seen that the game is planned to have a story campaign with colorful screensavers, but what exactly the story will be about is not quite clear yet. Nevertheless, the journalists of specialized publications and content authors were given to play the demo - judging by the reaction of the developers, the step was successful. Even despite the fact that the demo contains only a tenth of the shooter, and there is no multiplayer in it at all.

Judging by the feedback from the testers, the game on release will feature customization of camera shake when the character moves. Interaction with the detector will also be expanded, including its beeps. Fast movement around the map will be added, and on top of that, an increase in ammo is planned. In the plans - a standard set of upgrades, where there is room for graphical improvements, and to work on the algorithms of enemy behavior under the control of AI. But the real result of these efforts will be verified only after the release of the action movie - let's hope it will really happen before the end of the year.
