On April 26, 2017, Visionary Realms announced that Series A funding is 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.' The developers continue to periodically stream gameplay and development updates on Twitch.

Over 8,000 unique viewers tuned in throughout the 100+ minute broadcast. On March 11, 2016, Visionary Realms streamed live gameplay of Pantheon for the first time ever on their Twitch channel. On September 28, 2015, Visionary Realms announced that they had received seed funding from an angel investor. Pledge packages are still available through the official Pantheon website. Immediately after the campaign ended, Visionary Realms launched their own website to allow them to raise funds independently by selling pledge packages with various perks, such as early character name reservation, in-game cosmetic items, and access to testing phases. Because the funding goal was not reached, Visionary Realms did not receive any of the pledged money. The funding goal was set at $800,000, but the campaign raised only $460,657 from 3,157 backers. On January 13, 2014, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen was announced alongside a Kickstarter campaign. Pantheon uses a dual-targeting system, allowing players to simultaneously have an offensive and defensive target, with abilities automatically being applied to the appropriate target when activated.

Players can upgrade their abilities through a system called The Living Codex.

Many of the more powerful and exotic spells and abilities are acquired from hard-to-find NPCs in various parts of the world. One important aspect of character development is obtaining spells and abilities. Д¬haracter progression in Pantheon is designed to be gradual enough to make accomplishments feel more meaningful. The higher tier a climate is, the more severe the detrimental effects would be. For example, a player may be able to survive being in a Tier 1 Frigid climate, but would experience some minor detrimental effects, such as a movement speed penalty. Furthermore, each climate has various tiers, which correspond to how punishing it is to the player. Throughout the game world, players may encounter six extreme natural climates: Frigid, Scorching, Toxic, Anaerobic, Pressure, and Wind Shear. There is also a robust Climbing system, which allows players to traverse almost any vertical terrain if their skill level is high enough. While traveling throughout the world, players may encounter the Perception system, which is designed to encourage further exploration in certain areas and teach players more about their surroundings. Pantheon does not include radar-style minimaps for each zone, and instead aims to reward players for exploring organically.

The zones are designed to be large enough to comfortably support multiple groups of players. There are also some raid encounters, each of which is designed for either 12, 24, or 40 players. Some of the character classes are better suited for this than others, and some encounters may be more difficult and require more creative tactics when soloing, as opposed to grouping. While most PvE encounters in the game are designed for grouping, there are encounters that can be completed by a solo player. Each archetype is designed to excel at a specific role in a group setting.

There are four class archetypes in Pantheon: Tank, Damage, Healer, and Support (Crowd Control). Pantheon primarily has a PvE-centric design, although the developers have committed to having at least one PvP server at launch. Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen places a heavy emphasis on the social aspects of MMORPGs, such as grouping up with other players to overcome challenging encounters, joining guilds, and earning a reputation in the community. Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen takes place on the high fantasy world of Terminus, a wildly diverse planet formed from fragments of many different realms that were forced together by massive planar collisions, each bringing their own unique civilizations and deities.
