We will be introducing Patch 0.4.0 on June 13 2019 at 06:30 UTC.
Servers will be down between 05:00 and 06:30 UTC while we deploy the patch.Greetings Pagans,

It’s been two weeks, so it’s patch time! With this patch we’re introducing a change that we know new players especially will love – a way to unlock heroes in a way that ISN’T predefined. This patch also has plenty of fixes, balancing, and a bunch of new enemy affixes.

The pain is coming! We are still hard at work with many great features like the ability tree rework, more content and missions, items, and gameplay loops. Watch this space for more updates on our progress.

Emil aka Easymode, Lead Game Designer HEROES As always, we monitor heroes and make changes where needed. While we are currently happy with the amount of time it takes the average player to unlock all heroes, we recognize that making them gated in such a linear fashion is pretty frustrating, so we are doing something about that. Enter... Hero Souls.Hero Souls• Instead o... Read more

We will be introducing Patch 0.3.0 on May 30, 2019, at 06:00 UTC.
Pagan Online will be unavailable between 05:00 and 06:00 UTC while we deploy the patch. MAKE LEGENDARIES LEGENDARY AGAIN!
I’m very glad to announce another patch, which will address a few key issues we’ve recognized as a recurring theme in the massive feedback you guys have been providing. Among other things, we’re making some changes which should increase the gameplay impact of legendary items; we’re amping up the challenge on higher difficulties; and we’re giving new players an option to change their starting hero much sooner. We’ve also been working on enhancing the co-op experience, making balance tweaks, further polishing the visuals/audio, and, of course, squashing bugs.

Right now, we’re focusing on improving the game’s stability and bringing you new content, along with new ways to play and experience the realms of Pagan Online.
