Wolcen Unveils "ExtrAction RPG" Project Pantheon, Blending Diablo and Escape from Tarkov

Wolcen Studio has exciting news for gamers with the announcement of Project Pantheon, a free-to-play combat role-playing game that integrates elements of extraction shooter mechanics. The first closed alpha testing phase is set to kick off on January 25 for players in Europe, with North American players joining the fray on February 1.

"We've blended the tension and risk-reward of an extraction shooter with the battle dynamics of combat role-playing games," explained game director Andrei Cirkulete. Drawing inspiration from games like Diablo and Escape from Tarkov, Project Pantheon aims to offer a unique gaming experience. "We are eager to hear from the players," Cirkulete added. In this post-apocalyptic setting, players will step into the shoes of a messenger of Death, tasked with restoring order to a shattered world.

As you navigate through the game, you'll face off against AI opponents and other players while exploring various maps. The stakes are high: successfully evacuate, and you'll secure your trophies; fail, and you'll lose all your loot. Project Pantheon also allows players to build their own bases, customize their equipment, and experiment with different playstyles. The game's setting draws from world mythologies, with the initial adventure taking place in "Destiny's Edge," inspired by Scandinavian legends.

The economy of Project Pantheon is built on player trade, adding another layer of strategy and interaction. Despite being in its early alpha stage, Wolcen Studio is committed to actively engaging with the community to refine and enhance the game. This collaborative approach promises to shape Project Pantheon into a thrilling and immersive experience for all players.
