This here producer's letter for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen lets us know that the game has recently almost doubled its funding thanks to a major private investment. Beyond that, this month's newsletter for the MMORPG brings us the month in review section, a look at the game's Near Death mechanic, and a community spotlight.
Here's the main part of the producer's letter:
Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen has been funded to date largely through crowdfunding. Many of you have pledged, and for that we are grateful. Your pledges have gone directly toward development and operations and we wouldn’t be here without that. You are also likely aware that investors play a key role in bringing the game to life. We partner with like-minded individuals who have a passion for Pantheon and share the vision and values of what we are creating.
Today, it is our pleasure to announce that we have secured another $2.4 million USD from private investments to help us continue this incredible, community-building project. Added to the funds raised in earlier stages of Series A funding, our total investment capital raised to date, is now $5.34 million. This figure is additional to crowdfunding efforts and is a huge accomplishment for Pantheon! We are grateful for our ardent and supportive community, and our investors who share the same zeal to see Pantheon break into the modern game sphere and bring people together. It has been an unprecedented journey, and it is an enormous joy to continue to bring it closer to launch with all of you.
To address this landmark occasion and in lieu of our normal VIP-only Developer Roundtable, next week Twitch star CohhCarnage has invited CEO Chris Rowan and Creative Director Chris Perkins to join his stream to talk about what the investment means for Pantheon. The duo will also review the state of the game and highlight some of the recent developments you may have seen in our development streams.There will be a limited time for audience questions, so if you have anything you would like to ask, please post it on the forum thread. Please be aware that we anticipate a large amount of questions from a very large audience and will only have time for a short Q and A.
The special stream will take place at 11am PDT Wednesday, July 27th on CohhCarnage’s Twitch channel.
In celebration of the investment news, launching on Wednesday, July 27th, we are offering a limited-time Scion of the Black Rose Pledge package, in addition to our existing pledge packages, which start at $50. The new pledge includes all of the rewards from the Black Rose pledge plus Pre-Alpha testing access. The next Pre-Alpha test is scheduled for this summer. The Scion of the Black Rose will be available at $750. This pledge can also be made for three monthly installments of $250 each. The Scion of the Black Rose is also available as an upgrade to existing pledges. Please note that this pledge does not include additional VIP rewards outside of Pre-Alpha testing.
Thank you all once again for your support, camaraderie and continued adventures as Pantheon moves towards Alpha and beyond. We look forward to seeing you at the stream, on the forums, on social media and anywhere else where there’s a Pantheon community.
Be sure to check out the rest of the articles in the newsletter. Below you’ll find this month’s updated Roadmap to Alpha which outlines some exciting progress in many areas including banks, environments, player and armor models, animation, gathering, and the newly-implemented near-death mechanic which you can read even more about here.
