Free-to-play extraction action RPG Project Pantheon is officially titled Gods, Death & Reapers, developer Wolcen Studio announced. It is currently in development for PC (Steam).
“Gamescom 2025 marks a huge milestone for us as we finally get to share Gods, Death & Reaper‘s official name and gameplay with the world,” said game director Andrei Chirculete in a press release. “Gods, Death & Reapers is a game that started from one simple idea: what if you could play an extraction game that looks like a top-down [action] RPG? Now that this idea has turned into Gods, Death & Reapers, we can’t wait to hear from our players what they think, as it will help us shape up the best version throughout the coming Closed Alpha tests!”
Death Welcomes All
Gods, Death & Reapers is a free-to-play ExtrAction RPG that throws players into a brutal afterlife where mythology is real, and the gods are gone. Starting in Norse Mythology, Death himself has chosen players to help restore balance to realms left in chaos.
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 player-versus-player-versus-environment 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.
Beyond the Extraction mode, new ways to play are on the horizon! Wolcen plans to implement a new single-player story campaign and take on player-versus-environment cooperative missions where players can share the risk and the spoils with a friend.
Key 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.

- 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.

- 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.
