Answer Death’s Call and Step Once More into the Dark and Godless Worlds of Mythology this November!

Wolcen Studio today unveiled new details regarding the upcoming Closed Alpha 4 for their new ExtrAction RPG Gods, Death & Reapers (GDR, formerly known as Project Pantheon) following the game’s exciting appearance at gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show 2025 between Oct 16-19, 2025.

Death Welcomes All

Currently in development for PC, Gods, Death & Reapers is a free-to-play ExtrAction RPG that throws players into a brutal blend of high-stakes Extraction and Hack-and-Slash gameplay. Players take on the role of ‘Reapers’ under the command of Death himself, journeying into the fantastical worlds of mythology to quell the chaos left behind in the wake of their gods’ abandonment.

The sanctuary is the players’ hidden base where they prepare their gear before entering dangerous battlegrounds. Every run is a gamble: outfight deadly enemies, survive PvPvE clashes and escape with loot. But the stakes are high: death means losing everything players carried. Only successful extractions secure rewards, which can be traded with other players.

Gods, Death and Reapers Game Features

Battle Through Myth and Chaos

Journey through richly detailed mythological realms, beginning with Norse mythology.
Face challenging enemies, complete quests and collect powerful weapons, armor and artifacts.
Master different playstyles in balanced PvPvE combat.
Future updates will add a single-player story and PvE co-op modes without constant PvP pressure.

High Stakes, Big Rewards

Expand the sanctuary, customize loadout, and take on missions with unique objectives.
In Extraction mode, players’ skills are tested on every run - survive to secure valuable loot or lose it all with death.
Future updates will include more maps and player-to-player trading, alongside new modes.

Community-Driven Development

Gods, Death & Reapers is being built with community feedback driving the decisions, and Wolcen is committed to keeping that connection strong.
Closed Alpha participants are invited to join the studio’s Discord to help shape the game's future, reflecting Wolcen’s dedication to involving players at every stage.

What’s New in Closed Alpha 4

You Asked, We Delivered: Story Mode is Here!

We’ve heard your feedback, and for all the lone Reapers out there, Story Mode is finally making its debut in Closed Alpha 4!

You’ll now be able to explore the afterlife fully offline, without engaging in battles against other Reapers.

Of course, if you prefer the thrill of competition, the PvPvE Extraction Mode will also be available.

New Map & Faction: Welcome to Helheim

Straight from your nightmares, our new map, Helheim, awaits you with mysteries to uncover and dangers lurking in every dungeon and corner.

A Brand-New Onboarding Experience: The Pit

Closed Alpha 4 introduces The Pit, a completely revamped onboarding system that helps new Reapers learn the basics of the afterlife faster and more intuitively.

Death welcomes you, now better than ever.

New Crafting Buildings & Sanctuary Improvements

More crafting buildings and recipes are coming in Closed Alpha 4, allowing Reapers to explore new recipes and expand their gear collection.

Alongside these additions, the Sanctuary layout has been completely overhauled for a more compact composition and an improved field of view, creating a more immersive visual experience.

Community Wishlist Challenge

To celebrate our growing community, we’re launching a Wishlist Challenge that will unlock a special reveal trailer and Closed Alpha 4 access giveaways once the target is reached.

Your mission as a Reaper is simple:

Wishlist GDR on Steam
Spread the word; tell your friends and fellow Reapers

Once we hit that goal, we’ll unveil a special reveal trailer and host community events where winners will receive Closed Alpha access and more surprises!
