Envision Entertainment

Envision Entertainment is an independent video game development and publishing studio based in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany. Founded in late 2013 after the closure of EA Phenomic, it brought together experienced developers to create strategy and simulation games. Its work spans original productions, ongoing development of established online games, and collaborations with international publishers.

The studio focuses on strategy experiences built around economic systems, settlement development and interconnected gameplay. PC is its lead platform, while its development services also cover mobile, browser and console projects. Alongside game design and programming, its capabilities include live operations, post-launch content support, community management and creative consultancy.

From publisher partnerships to original games

In April 2015, Envision took over ongoing development and live operations for Electronic Arts’ free-to-play strategy game Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances. It subsequently developed Path of War, a tactical mobile strategy game published by Nexon in 2016.

Between 2016 and 2022, the studio collaborated with Ubisoft Düsseldorf on The Settlers: New Allies, contributing creative direction and core gameplay programming. The game was released in February 2023. These engagements combined development responsibilities with sustained collaboration on games published by other companies.

Envision later shifted toward developing and self-publishing its own intellectual property. Its settlement simulation Pioneers of Pagonia centres on intricate economic production chains and thousands of autonomous inhabitants, creating the bustling activity described as “Wuselfaktor.” The project brings the studio’s strategy focus into a world shaped by production, settlement growth and the actions of its inhabitants.

Pioneers of Pagonia entered Early Access in December 2023 and reached its full commercial release in December 2025. During 2026, Envision continued supporting the game through updates and expansions, including Meadowsong and Echoes of Aldramar, while developing further content.
