Applications for the Pioner beta test have started to be accepted

There hasn't been any news about the ambitious Russian project, which mixes S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Escape from Tarkov mechanics, since summer, when the developers from GFAGames rolled out another trailer called "Anomaly". Nevertheless, the online action movie, apparently, is being prepared for release before the end of 2024 - as promised by its authors. To make such a conclusion allows the announcement of closed beta testing, which is now recruiting all comers. The application form is available on the official website.

The game takes place in the Soviet times on a mysterious island where anomalies of unknown origin were found. Due to the high radiation background on this piece of land mutants have spread, so artifact hunters need to be properly armed before stepping outside the threshold of a safe base. The action game features both PvP and PvE modes, and the map is shared between different factions with their own goals. The developers promise a terrain of 50 square kilometers and a rich arsenal with customization of weapons.

Although the project was announced back in 2021, it was developing slowly, and in the last few months has stopped being mentioned in the press. As it turned out, this lull was due to the preparation for the closed beta test. To take part in it, you need to go to the game's website, leave your e-mail address there, get a code and wait for an invitation from the developers. The release date of Pioner is still unknown, but there is already information that the release will take place in 2024 on PC and current consoles.
