Gods, Death & Reapers (previously known as Project Pantheon) is a free-to-play live service game that will take players on a journey into a strange afterlife, where they are tasked by Death itself to aid in restoring order to a shattered reality.

Players explore diverse maps, battling enemies in dynamic PvPvE combat. Successful extractions will see players haul back valuable loot, while failure may result in losing their gear for good. In their hidden fortress, players will be upgrading their base, customizing loadouts and experimenting with gear to find their optimal playstyle. An open market will foster a player-driven economy that is going to allow players to trade and support each other.

Immerse yourself in captivating worlds that keep you returning for more. Explore challenging maps, tackle quests, and loot unique gear. Enjoy balanced PvP and PvE with fair rules and strong anti-cheat measures. Easy to learn, challenging to master, and endlessly rewarding.

Project Pantheon’s post-apocalyptic dark fantasy universe draws inspiration from a vast and diverse array of traditional tales and cultures from around the world, immersing players in rich mythology-driven narratives. The journey begins with an exploration of a fantastical reinterpretation of Nordic mythology – The Realm of Fate.

The gates to Death’s domain are about to open once more. 

Wolcen Studio is rallying players to join the Closed Alpha of Gods, Death & Reapers, the studio’s dark fantasy extrAction RPG that’s evolving through player feedback and community collaboration. The playtest runs from November 20 to November 26 for participants across North America, Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia. 

This Closed Alpha represents the game’s most significant pre-launch update yet, introducing the new map Helheim, a fresh faction known as The Unworthy, expanded skills and crafting systems, and the long-awaited Story Mode. Alpha test players can expand their sanctuary, customize their loadout, and take on missions with unique objectives. In Extraction Mode, survival is everything as Reapers face tense PvPvE encounters to secure valuable loot or risk losing it all if they fall. Players can also look forward to teaming up with friends in PvE co-op missions, coming in future playtests.

Gods, Death & Reapers Alpha Playtest servers will open on November 20 at 4 AM ET / 1 AM PT / 10 AM CET and close on November 26 at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT / 6 PM CET.
