What’s Next for Project Pantheon?
Wolcen Studio has outlined its broader alpha testing roadmap:
-
Closed Alpha 2 (Spring 2025): Focused on enhancing combat gameplay and introducing the new features.
-
Closed Alpha 3 (Summer 2025): Will introduce narrative changes and further gameplay refinements.
-
Closed Alpha 4 (Autumn 2025): Will emphasize balancing gameplay, progression, and refining endgame systems.
That’s it for now, as Wolcen Studio hasn’t shared any exact dates yet. However, they plan to reopen registrations and announce the official dates for Closed Alpha 2 very soon.
For those unfamiliar with Project Pantheon, it’s an action RPG with extraction elements similar to Escape From Tarkov. The core concept revolves around PvPvE gameplay — you head into dangerous zones, gather loot, and attempt to extract without dying. If you die, you lose everything you’ve gathered, including your gear.
So far, the studio hasn’t publicly shared any full gameplay footage, leaving those in the Closed Alpha as the only ones with a real sense of how the game flows. It’ll be interesting to see if future Closed Alphas will allow players to share gameplay impressions. For now, we’ll have to wait for more official reveals.
