Project Pantheon Closed Alpha 2 To Take Place This Month With New Features X Second Teaser Trailer Revealed

(Nice, France) – April 8, 2025 – Today, Wolcen Studio opened registration for Closed Alpha 2 (CA2) of its ambitious ExtrAction RPG, Project Pantheon, and released the game’s second teaser trailer. The trailer, which offers a chilling glimpse into the downfall of the gods, showcases the brutal chaos that engulfs their once-mighty civilizations and further reveals Death’s growing interest in these apocalyptic events.

Closed Alpha 2 Launch Date and Details:

Players in Europe and North America will gain access to this crucial testing phase, focusing on combat mechanics, the introduction of the Sanctuary–the first long-term progression system for players to upgrade their gear and runes–and new features. “Most of the pieces are in place to put combat to the test,” stated Andrei Chirculete, Game Director of Project Pantheon. “Our work isn’t done, but with the feedback from our players, we will get closer to improving it and shaping the final experience.”

Closed Alpha 2 will commence on Friday, April 25, 2025 at 10 A.M. PDT / 7 P.M. CEST, and servers will remain online until Saturday 2:59 P.M. PDT / 11:59 P.M. CEST.

Closed Alpha Registration and Access Details:

Interested players can register for access to Project Pantheon’s Closed Alpha program at: https://pantheon.firstlook.gg/. Registrations will remain open throughout 2025 and the Closed Alpha period. However, to guarantee consideration for CA2, players must register by April 22, 2025. Invitations will be sent to selected players shortly before  the next play-test begins.

Players who participated in Closed Alpha 1 (CA1) will automatically gain access to CA2. Those who registered previously but did not receive an invite yet will not need to register again to be considered for an invitation.

New Features & Systems:

  • Player Sanctuary: Now a fully 3D navigable hub where players can customize gear, track achievements, and craft runes. It expands as players gather resources, becoming central to progression.
  • Dodge Roll: “A new default gameplay mechanic that allows players to precisely evade enemy attacks.”
  • Weapon & Gear Customization: Players can now assign abilities to weapons and armor, enabling personalized builds and flexible combat styles.
  • Crafting & Durability: Equipment now wears down with use. Players must craft runes and repair gear at the Sanctuary to maintain optimum performance.
