GFA Games has revealed a new roadmap for PIONER, showing exactly what players can expect in the months following its early access launch on December 16. For a first project, the plan is bold and surprisingly packed.
PIONER is a post-apocalyptic MMO set on a broken Soviet-era island filled with anomalies, factions, and constant danger. The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. influence is obvious, but the game already feels lived-in and dense. Even in early access, optimisation has been better than expected.
What’s coming next in PIONER
| Month | Planned updates |
|---|---|
| December 2025 | New main story questNew world events New raid mission New PvP map |
| January 2026 | New main story quest New world events New raid mission New PvP map |
| February 2026 | New main story quest New world events Two updates listed as TBC |
| March 2026 | Large “big update” teased by the developers |
The scope is ambitious, especially for a smaller team. Steam reviews are currently mixed, based on roughly 1,000 user ratings. Many positive reviews stress patience, while negative ones focus on the game’s unfinished state.
If GFA Games delivers on this roadmap, PIONER could evolve fast and become something worth sticking with.
