About
PIONER is an open-world MMO first-person shooter set in a haunting, alternative-reality world where Soviet-era structures lie abandoned on a desolate, post-apocalyptic island. In this immersive environment, the gameplay experience is defined by dynamic PvE and PvP elements, where realism takes priority over traditional health bars or character levels. With a sprawling map of 50+ square kilometers, not counting hidden dungeons, players can explore a world rich with mystery and danger, encountering story quests and faction missions that influence relationships and loyalty rewards.

As an MMO, PIONER emphasizes player-driven storytelling and social interaction, offering both PvE and PvP experiences. Players can engage in story-driven quests or faction missions, where building loyalty with various groups unlocks rewards and additional narrative content. Combat against other players is intense, with special areas designated for these confrontations within the "Shadowlands."

Авторы PIONER начали оформление банкротства 03.06.2026 в 22:03 Студия GFA Games, создавшая MMO-шутер PIONER, пройдет процедуру банкротства. Заявление от лица УФНС России по Кировской области появилось в реестре Федресурса. Слухи о финансовых проблемах GFA Games появились в апреле 2026 года. По данным СМИ, компания начала задерживать зарплаты еще в феврале, ссылаясь на проблемы с банковскими переводами в стране. Кроме того, сотрудники начали ссориться с руководством: пока работники настаивали на улучшении и доработке PIONER, менеджмент настаивал на прибыльности игры и необходимости развития монетизации. Позже компании заблокировали счета за долги. PIONER вышла на ПК в раннем доступе 16 декабря 2025 года. На момент публикации материала у тайтла 63% положительных отзывов в Steam, а суточный онлайн составляет 1,3 тыс. игроков. В РФ тайтл является эксклюзивом площадки «Игры Ростелеком».
The Day Before №2
Can you briefly tell us what the game is about? - ‘server maintenance’
Идея игры классная, но блин где оптимизация, 40 фпс, вы что угораете, жаль что нельзя вернуть деньги за это убожество, Система у меня не очень слабая, хорошо что вас хотят признать банкротами, не умеете делать, сервера настроить не можете, фризит упаси госпади, Обратитесь Mundfist может помогут сделать нормально игру а не вашими кривыми культяпками
Кажется, продаваться Ростелекому было плохой идеей.....
Худшая игра из всех в которые я когда либо играл
One one hand I am enjoying the game and graphics but stutters keep happening while playing. There is definitely lag issues. I have a Ryzen 9 and RTX5090. I played for five hours and my progress went back to zero. No thank you
Вот он весь русский гей дев лишь бы бабло распилить
Connection issues, guns stop working (has ammo and is nearly full durability), reloads dont trigger half the time, clunky UI. In general the gameplay needs work. Story and graphics are perfectly fine. Actually the graphics are above what I would expect which is what makes the gameplay so jarring.
Более забагованой и проблемной игры, я не встречал, моё почтение
