Roadmap and New Year in the Pioner shooter
Russian MMO shooter, which became the headliner of the trading platform «Games Rostelecom», is preparing to celebrate New Year. On this occasion, the developers offer all heroes of the mysterious island thematic outfits, firecrackers and party poppers for fighting monsters, visiting a decorated Christmas tree and gifts that can lift the mood. Meanwhile, the studio GFA Games has released the last patch of 2025 and shared plans for the development of its ambitious project. However, we'll cover everything in order.
How are winter holidays celebrated in Pioner?

As for the fate of the game in the near future, in January users will receive a new story chapter, a raid mission and an introduction to another PvP map, for which there is no data yet. In February 2026, the main scenario will be supplemented and the set of world events expanded. And March will greet gamers with the largest shooter update since its release. GFA Games is not yet revealing details, but promises to talk about it next year. However, the contents of early access patch 0.0.3 are well known — it brought several important changes to the online shooter at once. And the main one is the event with the Christmas tree and pranks at the Wandering Pass.
Another thematic event awaits gamers in the Robber's Wasteland, and those tired of battles with mutants can relax by shooting at the range or searching for treasures using hints from the map. A huge number of fixes are also presented. Among them are corrections to object interaction and enemy behavior in the prologue, as well as a mass of fixes related to individual raids and missions. There's nothing surprising here — the shooter is new, so it needs refinement. What the public was also waiting for was optimization of server performance — judging by the patch description, it was carried out successfully.
