Back in 2019, new Nordic studio Mainframe Industries announced their intention to create an ambitious new cloud-native MMO. Mainframe was founded by various Remedy Entertainment and CCP Games veterans, so the MMO announcement understandably generated a fair amount of excitement, but we haven’t heard much about the project in a while. Well, according to new reports from noted insiders Jez Corden and Jeff Grubb, it seems Mainframe’s project has the backing of Xbox Game Studios.

Word is, Mainframe’s project is being developed for Xbox under then codename Pax Dei. Reportedly, one of the key features of Mainframe’s game is scalability – depending on the device you’re playing on, different activities will be available. For instance, you may be limited to simple quests and crafting on your phone, but will be able to tackle more ambitious missions while on PC or your Xbox. According to Grubb, Microsoft is looking to Pax Dei to set the example for other future cloud-native experiences.
