A statement by Visionary Realms, the company behind the upcoming MMORPG, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, informs us that they've managed to secure series A funding for the project, and that means that the development can expand and proceed to a pre-alpha state. An excerpt:

Carlsbad, CA – April 26, 2017 – Visionary Realms today announced that Series A funding for their upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, is now complete. Series A funding allows the company to expand the team in almost every department and bring the game into a semi-private pre-alpha state where external testers and focus groups can begin sampling the game.

“We have come a long way and are extremely excited about what this means for Pantheon,” stated Chairman Christopher Rowan. “As we start to raise support for Series B we are now in a position to empower our departments with many of the resources they need. It’s deeply encouraging to us to see this kind of support for Pantheon from investors and gamers.”

“You can feel the magnitude of what we’re tapping into here,” offered Chief Creative Officer, Brad McQuaid. “We believed going in that there was a healthy amount of interest in a massively cooperative experience, but seeing the exponential and continuous growth of excitement over the game is especially invigorating. And it’s coming from all angles!”

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is scheduled to enter into public testing later this year.
