Wolcen Studio has just announced Project Pantheon, a thrilling new free-to-play combat role-playing game that integrates the intense mechanics of extraction shooters. The excitement begins with the first closed alpha test kicking off on January 25 for players in Europe, followed by North American players joining the fray on February 1.
"We've masterfully combined the high-stakes tension and rewarding gameplay of extraction shooters with the dynamic combat found in role-playing games," explained Andrei Cirkulete, the game's director. Project Pantheon draws inspiration from classics like Diablo and Escape from Tarkov, aiming to offer a unique gaming experience. Players will step into the shoes of a Death's messenger, tasked with restoring order to a shattered world.
In this immersive environment, players will engage in fierce battles against both AI-controlled foes and other players as they navigate through the game's maps. The stakes are high: successfully evacuate, and you'll secure your hard-earned trophies; fail, and all your loot is lost forever.
Project Pantheon offers players the freedom to build and customize their own bases, tailor their equipment to their preferred playstyle, and explore various gameplay strategies. The game's setting, "Destiny's Edge," is inspired by Scandinavian mythology, creating a rich backdrop for your adventures. At the heart of the game's economy is player-driven trade, adding another layer of depth to the experience.
Despite being in the early stages of alpha, Wolcen Studio is committed to actively involving the community in shaping the game's future. They are eager to gather feedback and insights from players to refine and enhance Project Pantheon.
