Pagan Online is Wargaming’s first foray into Diablo’s turf

Wargaming is known more for its battleships and tanks than it is for swords and sorcery. But that’s about to change, as the publisher of World War II-themed online multiplayer games dives into the territory of Diablo and Path of Exile with Pagan Online, its first action-role-playing game (or RPG of any kind) that will mix elements of MOBAs like League of Legends with hack-‘n’-slash dungeon crawls.

Mad Head Games is heading up development of Pagan Online for Wargaming. That Serbian-based studio has a catalog full of hidden object and adventure games, and this is its first foray into RPG development as well. They’re targeting a 2019 release. The move shows that Wargaming is ready to expand into other markets in search of new customers (even though the company says that “over 200 million players enjoy Wargaming’s titles across all major gaming platforms”) while sticking with its core competency — online gaming.
