Diablo + Escape from Tarkov. Developer Wolcen announced “ExtrAction RPG” Project Pantheon

by Amelia Feb 22,2025

Wolcen Studio has announced Project Pantheon, a free-to-play action RPG incorporating extraction shooter mechanics. A closed alpha test begins January 25th in Europe, expanding to North America on February 1st.

Game director Andrei Cirkulete describes the game as a blend of "the tension and risk-reward of an extraction shooter with the battle dynamics of a combat RPG," hinting at influences from titles like Diablo and Escape from Tarkov. Player feedback is highly valued during this alpha phase.

Players assume the role of a Death messenger, battling AI and other players across diverse maps. Successful evacuations preserve hard-earned trophies; failure results in complete loot loss.

The game offers extensive customization options, including base building, equipment personalization, and diverse playstyles. The world's mythology draws inspiration from global sources, with player trading forming the core of the in-game economy.

The initial adventure unfolds in "Destiny's Edge," a region inspired by Scandinavian legends. Despite being in early alpha, the developers plan to actively engage the community to shape the game's development.
