Wolcen Studio has exciting news for gaming enthusiasts with the announcement of Project Pantheon, a free-to-play combat role-playing game that ingeniously integrates elements of extraction shooter mechanics. The studio is set to kick off the first closed alpha testing 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," shared game director Andrei Cirkulete. Drawing inspiration from titles like Diablo and Escape from Tarkov, Project Pantheon promises a unique gaming experience. The studio is keen to gather player feedback to refine and enhance the game. In this post-apocalyptic world, players step into the shoes of a messenger of Death, tasked with restoring order amidst chaos.
In Project Pantheon, players will navigate through various maps, confronting both AI-controlled enemies and other players. The stakes are high; successful evacuation means securing valuable trophies, but failure results in losing all accumulated loot. The game offers a rich experience, allowing players to build and customize their bases, tailor their equipment, and experiment with diverse playstyles.
Drawing from a tapestry of world mythologies, the game's setting is inspired by various legends, with the initial adventure taking place in "Destiny's Edge," a realm echoing Scandinavian folklore. Despite being in its early alpha phase, Wolcen Studio is committed to actively involving the community to shape the future of Project Pantheon. The foundation of the game's economy will be built on player trading, adding another layer of strategy and interaction to the gameplay.
