Wolcen Studio is revolutionizing the ARPG genre with "Project Pantheon," an ExtrAction RPG that combines Hack n’ Slash action and high-stakes extraction gameplay in a dark fantasy world inspired by historical mythologies. The first of three teaser trailers is out, and a Closed Alpha Test is scheduled for January 25-26, 2025, in Europe, and February 1-2, 2025, in North America, allowing players to preview the game.


Watch the teaser trailer for Project Pantheon below:


Project Pantheon is a free-to-play live service game that will take players on a journey into a strange afterlife, where they are tasked by Death itself to aid in restoring order to a shattered reality. Players explore diverse maps, battling enemies in dynamic PvPvE combat. Successful extractions will see players haul back valuable loot, while failure may result in losing their gear for good. In their hidden fortress, players will be upgrading their base, customizing loadouts and experimenting with gear to find their optimal playstyle. An open market will foster a player-driven economy that is going to allow players to trade and support each other.



First Closed Alpha Test



Closed Alpha 1 is a technical test aimed at evaluating the stability and performance of Project Pantheon’s backend systems, servers, and community channels. Player feedback will be crucial for addressing any issues and ensuring a smooth testing experience. While the initial servers are in Europe and North America, Wolcen Studio plans to announce additional Alpha tests in other regions soon. Players can stay updated by joining the studio's Discord or following them on X, Facebook, and YouTube.


Fusing High-Stakes Extraction Gameplay with Action RPG



Game Director Andrei Chirculete describes Project Pantheon as a unique blend of fast-paced ARPG combat and the high-stakes, risk-reward mechanics of extraction shooters. He likened it to "Diablo meeting Escape From Tarkov" and expressed excitement to see players’ reactions to this innovative fusion of gameplay styles.


A World Rooted in Mythology and Shaped by Players



Set in a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy world inspired by global myths and cultures, Project Pantheon begins with The Realm of Fate, a reimagining of Nordic mythology. Although still in early alpha after over a year of development, Wolcen Studio invites players to contribute feedback, shaping the game's evolution as it progresses.
