Wolcen Studios Announces Project Pantheon, A New Action RPG

Wolcen Studios has revealed Project Pantheon, an ambitious free-to-play live service game that blends action RPG elements with the high-stakes extraction gameplay popularized by titles like Escape From Tarkov. The studio has released a teaser trailer and announced closed alpha tests starting in January 2025.

A Unique Genre Fusion

Project Pantheon takes players into a dark fantasy afterlife where they must work for Death to restore order to a shattered reality. The game features intense PvPvE combat, demanding players navigate dangerous environments while competing against both AI-controlled enemies and other players. Successful extractions yield valuable loot, but failure can result in the permanent loss of gear.

The core gameplay loop involves venturing into diverse maps, battling enemies, gathering loot, and extracting back to a hidden fortress. This fortress serves as a base for upgrading equipment, customizing loadouts, and experimenting with different playstyles. An in-game marketplace will facilitate player interaction and trade.

Closed Alpha Testing

The first closed alpha test, focused on technical evaluation and stability, will take place in two phases: January 25-26, 2025 for European players, and February 1-2, 2025 for North American players. Additional closed alpha tests with servers in other regions are planned for the future.

Wolcen Studios emphasizes the importance of player feedback during this early testing phase, aiming to refine the game’s backend systems, server infrastructure, and community channels.

Mythology-Inspired World

Project Pantheon’s dark fantasy setting draws inspiration from a variety of global mythologies. The initial explorable area is a reimagined version of Nordic mythology known as “The Realm of Fate.”

The developers highlight their commitment to incorporating player feedback throughout the development process, allowing the community to influence the evolution of the game world and its future content.
