Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is a group-focused MMORPG based on challenging gameplay and open world high fantasy. It takes place on a world populated by deities and heroes, called Terminus. Mortal and planar shards which have collided create the dramatic and epic environment of Terminus. With some of those shards came deities and demigods that, over time, raised empires which forged the turbulent political landscape. Centuries later, new planar collisions have occurred that will pull the players into the world and its politics. The player is a legendary hero, stripped of his or her powerful relics and left to explore the dramatically diverse and epic regions of Terminus with hopes of reclaiming their relics and those of lost heroes.

Pantheon’s combat places a focus on preparation and awareness of the enemy. The player can actively dodge, block, or deflect attacks. Spell and ability pre-selection is critical to defeat encounters, as is forging alliances with other players. You won't want to be caught in the wilds of Terminus alone, but exploration of the vast and dramatically diverse world landscapes will be richly rewarding. Through exploration the player can uncover mysteries and unique adventures as well as acquire rare and exotic spells and abilities from dungeons and challenging encounters. 

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is an intensely social game for the determined thrill-seeker, because we believe that the greatest sense of accomplishment comes when it is shared.  Imagine a vast, detailed world of swords and sorcery, of dragons and knights, of fiery swords and chests overflowing with treasure. A world in which a myriad of sentient races and creatures live and affect change.

Developer Visionary Realms announced it has secured additional multimillion dollar funding to accelerate and bolster the launch of MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.

The investment will fund more artists, programmers, designers, and reinforced project management to allow the team to launch the game sooner with a more complete offering of its planned content.  

This news arrives amid industry-wide turmoil, including layoffs, studio closures, and investor retreats. “The industry is suffering a terrible storm right now,” said CEO Chris Rowan. “We are appreciative of this vote of confidence in our team’s vision, resilience, and dedication to crafting a skill-driven MMORPG.”  

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen entered Early Access in December 2024, with 2025 having been primarily focused on adding content for multiple level ranges and refining systems, while gathering live player feedback for consideration and implementation.  

The funding enables the team to more fully realize the original vision at launch, delivering a more robust experience. "We're in a great position now," Rowan added. "Uncertainty has been removed allowing for improved, meticulous planning and focused project management which gives VR sustained momentum toward a definitive 1.0 release.”  

The game is available now in Early Access on Steam and via direct purchase on the official site.
